How do I prepare my laundry for pick-up?
+ -
Wash and Fold: place your laundry in one or more of our bags for pick-up. If you are a first-time user, put your clothes in a large bag such as a plastic trash bag and we will return it to you in one of our nylon laundry bags. Don't use a hamper please!
Dry Cleaning: Put any clothes for dry cleaning or wash-and-press in one of our convertible garment bags (if this is your first order or you don't have one of the special garment bags place them in a separate bag). Label the bag with the words "dry cleaning" (we will separate the launder-and-press items from the dry-cleaning items).
If you have any clothes which you'd like washed "delicate" or drip-dried or otherwise treated specially, place them in a separate bag and leave clear instructions for how you'd like them washed and dried.
You do not need to separate whites from colors, we will do that for you.
