What exactly is “wash & fold”? It is a three-step process: first we wash your clothing in warm water, unless you specify otherwise. Then we move everything to the dryer where your laundry dries for 35-42 minutes depending on the type of fabric. And finally, after your laundry is dry, we hang everything over a rack to minimize wrinkles, then begin folding.
Folding is an art. We use a stencil so that everything comes out the same size, just the way you see clothing neatly stacked at retail stores.
If you have items that are stained, please show the attendant the location and type of stain so we can pre-treat appropriately. Also let the attendant know about any special requests. Some customers request that we hang-dry certain items (we often use our judgment, too).
Children’s clothing can be challenging, but we do our best to keep like-items together and sorted.
Ideally, all the women’s clothing ends up together, and visa versa with the mens’ clothing, although it can sometimes be difficult to determine what belongs to whom. If you sort your clothing prior to drop-off and request that it be folded accordingly, then everything will be returned to you in order, making it much easier to put away.
We try to “make it pretty” by keeping all towels that are the same color together.
Once everything is folded, we place your laundry in bags, tie the bag shut and label it, then attach a printed ticket. We are happy to hang items at your request. There is no additional charge as long as you provide the hangers. Since our store is computerized, we enter the location of the items and the number of items and place everything in storage.
Just a reminder that we also offer pressing and chemical-free dry cleaning. We are your one stop shop for everything related to cleaning your clothing.
Our regular wash & fold price is $1.15/lb (our Monday special offer is .99/lb). If you take part in our “pre-paid” program, your wash & fold price is .99/lb any day of the week. There is a 10/lb minimum charge.
We also do pick-up & delivery for $1.75/lb – what a great gift idea for someone recovering from an illness or for anyone who cannot drive.
So simplify your life by trying us out! We want to make your laundry experience unforgettable!
