Frequently Asked Questions:
How much does a typical load weigh?
We will weigh your laundry upon check in at our location. A typical laundry load weighs 8-10lbs. The average person will wear about 15-18lbs of laundry in a week. Add in towels and you land at an average of 20lbs. But what is average? Keep in mind, we weigh clothes when they are dry, at their lightest weight. If you dry-clean a majority of your clothes, you may only have 10lbs per week and if you're active, you may have up to 30lbs.
What is the process?
Whether you use one of our 3 convenient locations or our Free Home Pick Up and Delivery just place your dirty Wash-Dry-Fold items in a reusable Wash Dry and Fold bag.
