How the service works:

Laundry offends the aesthetic sensibilities of some people. Where in Victorian times, clotheslines were ubiquitous, Mrs. Brown’s brassiere blowing in the breeze has apparently become scandalizing to some modern Americans. A strange brand of prudery has made it impossible for some people to conserve energy and money by using a clothesline.

Drop Off Service:

Just drop your laundry by the store and we`ll have your laundry washed, folded, wrapped and waiting for you in 24 hours from the time you bring it in. (Loads over 20 lbs. may take a little longer.)

Pick Up & Delivery Service

1. By signing up for a monthly account, you no longer need to bring your laundry in… We come and get it!

2. Once you`ve filled out our Valued Customer Form, we will notify you of your pick up date. Once a week or once a month, we can adjust the frequency to fit your needs. Regular customers are provided with a plastic bin to protect their laundry during delivery.

3. Simply set out your laundry on your door step in the plastic bin we provide or a plastic bag (if you don`t have a bin yet) by 9:00am.

4. We pick up your laundry between 9:00am and 11:30am and bring it to our modern facility to be washed with care.

5. Your laundry will be done by the next day and delivered after 1:30pm in the afternoon. It will arrive in a your plastic bin, freshly washed, folded and wrapped in brown paper.

6. The laundry is weighed and logged upon arrival to get an accurate weight.

7. You will receive a bill on the last service day of the month and must be paid no later than the 1st service day of the next month, or within 7 days, which ever comes first.

8. That`s it! Enjoy your new free time!
