Who Are We

INTRODUCTION

Our Story – How Freshly Folded Began

Before Steve and I founded Freshly Folded, my life was a whirlwind of corporate deadlines intertwined with the joys and challenges of raising three children. Like many busy San Diego families, I struggled to find reliable laundry services that truly understood our needs.

Between school pickups, work meetings, and family dinners, laundry was the chore that never ended. I tried drop-off services, some rushed through our clothes without care, others had inconvenient hours or unreliable pickup schedules. I knew other families faced the same frustration.

That’s when the idea struck: what if there was a laundry service San Diego residents could truly depend on? A service that treated every garment with care, offered flexible pickup times, and delivered consistently exceptional results?

Steve and I decided to create that service ourselves. We started small, learning the laundry business from the ground up, investing in commercial-grade equipment, and developing relationships with premium product suppliers. Most importantly, we listened to what San Diego families actually wanted: convenience, quality, and reliability.

Today, Freshly Folded serves thousands of satisfied customers across San Diego County. What started as a solution for busy families has grown into a trusted partner for professionals, students, businesses, and anyone who values their time and their clothes.
