For big loads of laundry clean-up after the holidays (like re-freshing guest pillows, comforters or cleaning tablecloths) or when you need to wash bulky winter clothes, Montreal is lucky to have a friendly, helpful, long-serving laundromat family in our midst. With two of the largest (the most washers and dryers) locations in the city, Lavoir Patricia and Lavoir Victoria have had the same owner for 38 years, so there is a continuity and long-time understanding of the best machines and knowledge of how to get your items clean.
Unlike most facilities, they have full time staff in both locations to advise and and assist you, or else the staff will do your complete laundry (wash and fold) for an additional fee). The Patricia location in Montreal West has 6 different sizes of washers, from 10 lbs to 65 lbs. When you walk all the way to the back, you will find the 4 giant washers at the 65 lb capacity (and 4 giant dryers), so you can do big loads quickly and efficiently. Also, the less expensive machines with double capacity are at the Patricia location.
Lavoir Patricia and Lavoir Victoria are very customer friendly. Yes, you should be bringing in your own preferred soap, softeners and bleach, but if you are stuck they will sell you a cup. They have carts, washroom facilities, customer seating, bill changers and counters on which to fold your clothes.
Even if you have a washer and dryer at home, there are still times you might need this laundromat – for spring cleaning, when the kids come back from camp or if your machine at home suddenly breaks down.
They are the only laundromat in the city with 4 – 77 lb capacity dryers.
Here are some ideas of when you might need the cleaning facilities of this laundromat:
– Camping equipment: blankets, comforters, sleeping bags
– Washable curtains
– Winter clothing: heavy parkas, ski pants, long coats
– Large comforters, blankets or washable duvets and duvet covers
– Refreshing pillows
– Slipcovers for couches
Lavoir Patricia has Maytag top-load washers along with Wascomat front-load washers, which are considered some of the best in the world. A regular cycle in these professional machines comprises 2 washes and 3 rinses, which means five complete water changes to ensure the cleanest wash possible. These are available in 20 lb., 30 lb., 40 lb. and in the 55 lb. size which is great for giant loads – could be used for sleeping bags, couch covers, comforters and other large items.
Look for their coupon on the web site www.MontrealLaundromat.com which changes every few weeks. Lavoir Patricia and Lavoir Victoria aim to take the stress out of laundry day.

If you’re wishing or planning a reno project which involves flooring, you can’t go wrong at Lanctot. (It’s also a great time of year to do the project as reno companies are very quiet now). For over 130 years, the Lanctot family has been selling flooring, and has always been known for choice and service – and their prices are low all year round. Can you just imagine how many satisfied customers that adds up to?
The huge warehouse offers hundreds of options for floating and hardwood floors (look for the bargain bins starting at $.89), including condo solutions and ceramic tiles (starting at $1.25). You can select from amongst 500 area rugs, carpeting and vinyl flooring (lots of remnants too). There are options to decorate walls, and even staircases can be created here. It is so nice to shop at a store which has the comfortable feel and friendliness of a family business.
In floating floors, you have many tree options such as: oak, maple, ash, beech and cherry, as well as ones that look like natural stone or ceramic.
For hardwood options, there’s cherry, white oak, red oak, hard maple, silver maple, ash, wild cherry, beech, larch and walnut. Where else could you find so many exotic species too: jatoba ipe, bamboo, tauari, cumaru, cabreuva, tiger wood and kempas?
An entire wing is dedicated to ceramics in many types and sizes for bathrooms, kitchens and hallways. Along with the ceramic and natural stone tiles, you can also buy granite, marble, slate, porcelain and even faux wood.
You can also shops for many types of wall coverings like decorative stone, natural stone, decorative brick, wood siding and decorative panels.
Lanctôt also offers two types of staircases: modular and traditional. Staircases generally form the heart of a home. They can usually be seen from the entrance, and often take center stage. Replacing a staircase can considerably increase a home’s value.
They offer services for insurers and claim adjusters. Both individuals and businesses happily shop here.

If this is the moment you are thinking of getting away from the cold, thinking of traveling, or are planning something for later on, there are some interesting items that can make the trip more pleasurable – Jetsetter has all the gadgets you may need and specialty travel clothing.
There are clever things you will not be able to find elsewhere. I just was over there to buy a strap which hooks my carry-on bag to my bigger one, so I only need one hand for the luggage and it allows me one hand free.
You can secure your luggage in your hotel room, on the train, plane terminal or anywhere you need it while you travel with a TSA approved cable lock. There’s 48 inches of PVC covered steel cable to keep your gear safe and the combination padlock is easy to reset. The 4mm steel shackle is ideal for locking zippers too.
Below are some of my new finds: dry shaving cream, laundry soap, etc. so you don’t have the “liquids” problem in your carry on and they save weight. A waterless disposable razor blade (with shaving gel attached) so you can get that last minute shave anywhere. A solar charger for your phones, etc which happens to be a light, a memory foam neck pillow with air vents to keep cool and throw away toothbrush/toothpicks.
Besides a huge selection of luggage, including rolling backpacks and duffels (Briggs & Riley, Lipault, Eagle Creek), there are various kinds of money stashers, toiletry and packing organizers, travel pillows and blankets, carry-on liquid sets and individual teeny bottles, compact appliances, electricity converters and mini electronics (mini mice, ear bud splitters).
