There are many reasons to use a wash and fold laundry service. Yet many people don’t do it, simply because of the unknown. In this article, we want to clear up some of the most common laundry service questions for you.
Why Do I Need a Laundry Service?
People use laundry services for several reasons. Here we’ve listed some of the most common uses:
Commercial Laundry
Companies, may not have the room for a commercial washer and dryer, or the money to spend on them. Also, water, electricity, and gas can be very costly for a business.
Enter commercial laundry services, which offer companies an affordable solution. Companies that may use commercial laundry services include hotels/motels, gyms, salons, spas, garages, vet clinics, hospitals etc…
Personal Laundry
People use laundry services for many reasons. Some of them include time, convenience, capability (Handicaps may keep people from being able to do their own laundry.), living quarters (Yours may not include washers and dryers.), and size of equipment (Washing items like comforters, rugs, pillows, or cushions may not be possible in your homestyle washer or dryer.).
What Do Laundry Services Cost?
Laundry service pricing varies by three things. One is the price per pound that the company charges, two is the number of pounds you bring in that day and three is the speed of service you choose, or any extras you buy.
Keep in mind that, all companies charge by the pound. At our laundromats in the past year, a customer brought in, on average, 33 pounds of laundry, and the average cost was $45.00.
How Do I Get Started With This Service?
Getting started is easy, just take your laundry to a laundromat that offers wash and fold laundry services. Be sure to go during full-service hours.
You can transport your laundry in a trash bag, grocery bag, laundry bag, cardboard box, or anything that will hold it.
Are There Detergent, Softener, and Bleach Options?
Laundromats usually offer chemicals free of charge. However, most will offer detergent and softener choices for a few cents more. You can specify whether you want them to use or not use any chemical.
Or, you can even take your own chemicals for them to use. This is especially helpful if someone in your family has allergies or skin sensitivity.
Do You Sort By Color and Pre-Treat Stains?
Yes! Sorting and pre-treating are vital steps to make sure your laundry is properly cared for. No laundromat should ever skip this step. That’s why, here at SuperSuds, Spot, and Laundry City, we always sort by color and pre-treat stains.
However, if you are aware of a specific stain and what it is, this information would be helpful to tell the laundry attendant so that they can best treat it.
When Will My Laundry Be Ready?
Usually, your laundry is ready within a couple of days. However, you could also pay for Same-Day or 24-hour service.
Most laundry services will send you a text message when your laundry is ready for pickup.
What Time Can I Pick Up My Laundry?
Of course, laundromat hours vary, but most locations have full-service or attended hours. These are the times when there is an attendant on duty to do laundry and help you with the checkout process.
Be sure to check your laundromat’s attended or full-service hours before you head out.
