I don't think I've ever seen "laundry-shop" before. Also, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/launderette lists launderette as BE only, perhaps /self-service laundry/ is better?

Editor: I think most people are familiar with either "laundromat" or "launderette" and use those terms rather than "self-service laundry."

Wp ~ "A self-service laundry... is a facility where clothes are washed and dried. They are known in the United Kingdom as launderettes or laundrettes, and in the United States, Canada, and Australia as laundromats."

CEDICT's guidelines say to use US spelling and terminology.
