Need a launderette in the small hours?

Laundry is spread over three categories, totalling 1,463, or 165 more than convenience stores
HiGo's listings include 685 laundry services, 445 self-service laundries and 333 launderettes. Convenience stores, the largest single category, number 1,298. All three laundry categories fall under the everyday services group.
The food group totals 1,898, more than the three laundry categories combined
There are 769 restaurants and 236 mamak stalls, or 1,005 in all. The food and drink group as a whole totals 1,898. By single category, laundry leads; by broad group, food is ahead.
Not everything on this list is a shop. Mosques (738) and tourist attractions (381) both make the top ten, and parks are registered as open 24 hours as well.
The share registered this way varies widely by broad group. Everyday services is highest at 9.45% of that group's listings (laundry falls under it), while coffee and tea is lowest at 1.09%.
Selangor, Johor and Kuala Lumpur add up to 10,917, or 50.15%
Individually, Selangor has 5,745, Johor 2,963 and Kuala Lumpur 2,209. Together that is 10,917, or 50.15% of the 21,767. Johor here refers to the whole state.
Those three states account for 47.31% of all listings (228,079 of 482,074) and 50.15% of these 24-hour merchants, about 2.8 percentage points higher. Measured against each state's own listings, Selangor is highest at 4.99% and Sarawak lowest at 3.47%. The national figure is 4.52%.
What this means for you
- If you need to do laundry in the middle of the night, search all three categories (laundry service, self-service laundry and launderette), not just one.
- These are registered opening hours, not a guarantee that a place is open on any given night, and public holidays are not recorded. Check before you set off.
