While doing laundry might be a favorite chore for some, those who are trudging through city streets with a heavy duffle bag of dirty clothes in the heat of summer might disagree. The idea of spending hours at a laundromat, wrestling with washers and dryers, can be daunting.
For those who can relate, consider investing in your happiness by exploring full-service laundry options. Full-service laundry, often perceived as a luxury for the wealthy, actually offers affordable cleaning services. This includes washing and drying, stain removal, and even the use of specific laundry detergents and fabric softeners to ensure your folded laundry is impeccably clean. With convenient offerings like wash dry and fold services, customer service focused on your needs, and even pick up and delivery options, it’s time to rethink the laundry room routine.
There's a myriad of reasons to choose professional laundry services, especially if you're dealing with heavily soiled or dirty laundry that requires a thorough washing cycle, hand wash care, or specific treatments to remove stains.
And, for those with a busy schedule, the ability to schedule a pickup for your laundry bags means you’ll have clean clothes returned to you without the hassle. Stop the cycle of handling your laundry yourself and discover the benefits of a professional, affordable service that can handle everything from your standard wash to heavily soiled items.
What Is Full Service Laundry?
Full service laundry is a service you can purchase where your clothes are washed, dried, and either folded or hung on hangers.
You can either drop off laundry or schedule for it to be picked up from your home, business, or dorm.
Convenience
Having a pickup or drop off laundry service is just about as convenient as laundry can get.
Life is busy and hectic enough without having to make an emergency laundromat run after your kid's school uniform came home unwearably dirty. Using professional laundry services means that you can carry on with your day without interruption while your clothes are being professionally cleaned.
Saves Time
It's depressing to think about, but how much time do you think you've spent in a laundromat in your life? Between lugging your clothes there, waiting for open machines, and hanging around to make sure your clothes don't get stolen, it's probably more hours than you want to admit.
What if you could have that time back? What would you do with it?
If you value your time, it's completely reasonable to hire out your laundry chores so that you can work on other things. There are a lot of things you can't or wouldn't pay others to do for you. Why not take advantage of something that the pros could do better, faster, and likely cheaper than you could?
A journalist at Business Insider calculated how much time he had been putting into doing laundry versus how much extra it cost to use a wash and fold service.
He found that after walking to the laundromat, washing his clothes, drying his clothes, walking home, and folding his clothes, he put roughly an hour and a half into the task. The wash and fold service he could use only cost $5.95 more than how much it cost for him to do his own laundry. When you calculate how much money you're saving an hour to do your laundry yourself, it comes to $3.97 an hour.
Is your free time worth more to you than that? I bet it is.
Affordability
A lot of people might bounce off of full service laundry expecting that it's too expensive. On the contrary, professional laundry services can be very affordable.
Consider how much money you've spent on gas driving back and forth to the laundromat, how many quarters you've loaded into the machines, and how much you've spent on detergent. Laundromat costs can really add up, and weekly laundromat trips are not a small expense.
If you're thinking about installing your own washer and dryer, you'll have to consider the costs of those machines plus potential install and upkeep. You'll also want to factor in the water and electricity costs, which could be significant over the course of a year.
Once you also factor in how much your time is worth to you, doing laundry starts looking like an incredibly costly task. You have to pre-treat stains, sort by color, lug all your clothes to the car, drive to the laundromat, and then sit there and wait for several hours. And then you still have to fold them, lug them back to the car, head home, and put them away!
Compared to the straight-forward costs of laundry service pickup, going to the laundromat is as expensive as it is unnecessarily complicated. Buy yourself your time back by letting professionals take care of your laundry for you.
