With 28,000+ undergrads at SDSU, student life generates constant laundry needs. Between classes, part-time jobs, social activities, and studying, laundry consumes hours weekly. We handle weekly wash and fold, bulk loads before/after semester breaks, interview prep dry cleaning, formal event clothing, athletic wear, and shared apartment orders. Budget-friendly pricing and academic calendar awareness included.

Professional appearance matters while time is scarce. We provide regular wash and fold, dry cleaning for conference presentations, academic regalia care, interview prep for academic job market, and dissertation defense attire with priority service during defense season.
Faculty members balance teaching, research, committee work, conferences, and family life. Professional appearance is essential; time is limited.

How much does laundry service cost near SDSU?
Wash and fold starts at $2.49 per pound on a weekly plan or $2.69 per pound for one-time pickups. The minimum order is $49.99 with a $5.99 transportation fee. For a student splitting the cost with a roommate, pooling laundry together easily hits the minimum and keeps it affordable for both of you. Schedule at Freshly Folded.
Do you pick up from apartment complexes on College Avenue and Montezuma Road?
Yes, we pick up from apartments and houses throughout the College Area, including the dense complexes along College Avenue, Montezuma Road, Campanile Drive, and the side streets near the SDSU Transit Center. Leave your bag at your front door or a designated pickup spot, and our driver will grab it on route.
Is this service worth it compared to using the coin laundry in my apartment building?
That depends on how you value your time. Coin machines cost a few dollars per load, but you spend an hour or more waiting, transferring, and folding. With Freshly Folded, you bag everything up, we pick it up, wash it with premium detergents like Tide or Gain, sanitize it with hospital-grade ozone, fold it, and bring it back the next day. At $2.49 per pound, most students find the trade-off well worth it during midterms and finals.
Can SDSU students on a budget split an order with roommates?
Definitely. The $49.99 minimum is per pickup, not per person. Plenty of College Area roommates combine their laundry into a single order to split the bill. Just make sure to separate items by owner before they go into the bag if you want them returned to the right person — or use separate bags and note it in the instructions.
Do you offer pressing for job interviews and career fairs at SDSU?
We do. Professional pressing is $4.50 per item with next-day turnaround. SDSU students heading to on-campus career fairs or interviews can schedule a pickup the day before and get their suit, blazer, or dress shirt back pressed and ready to go. Call (619) 586-5755 if you need to discuss same-day options for last-minute events.
Does Freshly Folded deliver to El Cerrito and the neighborhoods east of campus?
Yes. Our College Area delivery zone covers El Cerrito, Del Cerro, Allied Gardens, and the residential streets east of SDSU along Navajo Road. The entire area between the 8 freeway and the 15 is within our regular route. Text (619) 389-3206 to confirm your specific address.
What happens to my clothes after they are picked up from College Area?
Your laundry goes directly to our facility, where it is sorted, washed with your chosen detergent on Maytag and Speed Queen commercial machines, run through our ArtiClean ozone sanitization system, dried, and folded. Every order is tracked individually so nothing gets mixed up. Dry cleaning items go through our separate GreenEarth solvent process.
Are there any hidden fees beyond the per-pound rate?
No hidden fees. The only charges are the per-pound rate ($2.49 weekly or $2.69 on-request), the $49.99 minimum order, and the $5.99 transportation fee. Premium detergent choices, ozone sanitization, and delivery are all included. Dry cleaning and pressing are priced separately per item if you add those services to your order.
Can College Area faculty and staff use the service for work clothes?
Of course. Faculty and university staff in the College Area use our wash & fold for everyday items and our dry cleaning and pressing for professional attire. Shirts and blouses are dry-cleaned for $7.75, pants for $7.75, and a two-piece suit for $22.50. We pick up from any address in the neighborhood, not just student apartments.
How do I sign up for laundry service in the College Area?
