Which detergent brands do you offer?
You pick: Tide, Gain, All Free & Clear (hypoallergenic), 7th Generation (eco-friendly), Persil, and more. Premium brands are always included at no additional cost.
Can you work around my trolley commute schedule?

Do you serve the Mount Helix area?
Yes. We cover all of Mount Helix, Windsor Hills, and every hillside neighborhood in La Mesa — from homes off Mount Helix Drive to streets near the park amphitheater.
How do you handle sorting?
We separate by color (whites, lights, darks) and fabric type. Delicates get gentle treatment, work clothes and scrubs receive appropriate care, and athletic wear is handled separately. You can also request sorting by family member.
What's the turnaround time?
Next business day. Schedule pickup any day Monday through Saturday and receive delivery the following business day.
Do you pre-treat stains?
Yes. We target common stains — food, coffee, grass, sweat, wine — with appropriate stain removers before washing. If an item needs dry cleaning for a stubborn stain, we'll let you know.
Can I include bedding, towels, and linens?
Yes. Sheets, pillowcases, comforters, blankets, towels, and bath mats are all part of the service. We wash bedding separately from clothing for hygiene.
How should I prepare for pickup?
Place your laundry in any bag or basket and check all pockets (we're not responsible for items left inside). No need to sort — we take care of that. Leave the bag at your door for contactless pickup if you prefer.
Can I set custom preferences for every order?
Absolutely. Tell us your water temperature preference, detergent choice, what to hang versus fold, fabric softener instructions, and any special handling notes. We apply your preferences consistently on every pickup.
Why should La Mesa residents use a laundry pickup service?
Save three to five hours every week. Instead of spending Saturday mornings sorting and folding, enjoy the Village Farmers Market, hike up to Mount Helix for sunset, or take the kids around Lake Murray. Professional results, delivered to your door.
Here at Freshly Folded, you and your needs are our top priority. We wouldn’t be here without you, so we want to be constantly evaluating and improving. We know there are lots of options when it comes to getting clean laundry, but we consider ourselves to be your best option.
