Laundry Pickup and Delivery in Ocean Beach, CA | Free Next-Day Service
Laundry pickup and delivery built for OB living. Free doorstep collection, premium care, and next-day return from Newport Avenue to Sunset Cliffs and every block in between.
Convenient Laundry Pickup and Delivery for Ocean Beach Residents
Ocean Beach runs on its own rhythm — morning surf, afternoon at the pier, Dog Beach with the pup, Wednesday farmers market, sunset from the cliffs. The laundromat doesn’t fit anywhere in that lineup. Freshly Folded picks up your dirty laundry from your OB doorstep, washes everything with premium products, folds it with care, and delivers it back the next day. Sandy towels, salty boardshorts, fur-covered Dog Beach blankets — we handle all the laundry that beach town living throws at you.
OB is one of San Diego’s last real beach neighborhoods — the kind of place where people still know their neighbors, the shops on Newport are independently owned, and the Wednesday night farmers market draws the whole community. It spans roughly a square mile between the San Diego River and the Pacific, which means everything is close, but space is tight.
That tightness is why many OB apartments don’t have in-unit laundry. Beach cottages, vintage buildings along Voltaire, walk-ups near the pier — plenty of them rely on shared machines in a common room or have no laundry facilities at all, which means hauling bags somewhere, feeding quarters, and losing a chunk of your day to a chore that never actually ends.
Freshly Folded offers a better option: we come to your OB address, collect your dirty laundry from the doorstep, wash everything with the premium products you choose, fold it professionally, and bring it back — typically within 24 hours. No machines to fight over. No quarters to scrounge. No bags to drag down the sidewalk. Just clean clothes waiting at your door while you spend your time on what OB is actually for.

Why Ocean Beach Residents Choose Freshly Folded
Perfect for Apartments Without Laundry
A lot of OB's housing stock — the vintage walk-ups, the beach cottages, the smaller buildings along Voltaire and Cable — doesn't include in-unit washers and dryers. Our pickup and delivery service eliminates the need for shared machines, laundromat trips, and quarter hoarding. We come to you.
Beach Laundry Specialists
Salt air, sandy towels, sunscreen-stained cover-ups, boardshorts that smell like the ocean — beach community laundry has its own challenges. We pre-rinse sandy and salt-exposed items before washing to prevent fabric damage and eliminate the musty odors that home machines (and laundromat machines) struggle with.
Dog Beach Laundry, Handled
OB, and Dog Beach are inseparable. Sandy towels, fur-covered blankets, muddy pet bedding — it's a weekly reality for a huge portion of the neighborhood. We wash all pet-related laundry alongside your regular clothes, with proper separation and thorough cleaning.
Premium Detergents, Always
You choose what goes on your clothes. Options include Tide, Gain, All Free & Clear (hypoallergenic), 7th Generation (eco-friendly), Persil, and more. Every option is included at no extra cost — no generic brands, ever.
Hospital-Grade Ozone Sanitation
Every load receives ozone treatment that eliminates 99.9% of bacteria and viruses without harsh chemicals. Particularly relevant for beach towels, pet items, and athletic gear that see heavy use.
Built for OB Schedules
Whether you work a 9-to-5 downtown, pull late shifts at a Newport Avenue restaurant, or freelance from your couch — we offer flexible pickup windows and contactless service that works around your life, not the other way around.
Next-Day Turnaround
Schedule pickup Monday through Saturday and receive everything back the following business day. Fast, reliable service for a neighborhood that values its free time.
Your Preferences, Every Time
Tell us once how you want things handled, and we'll follow those instructions on every order. Hang the button-downs, fold the casuals, use the hypoallergenic detergent — whatever your system is, we honor it consistently.
Who Uses Laundry Pickup and Delivery in Ocean Beach?
Apartment Renters Without In-Unit Laundry
This is one of the biggest reasons OB residents call us. Plenty of apartments, cottages, and older buildings in OB don’t have washers and dryers. Our doorstep service replaces the laundromat entirely — no shared machines, no quarters, no wasted time.
Surfers and Beach Regulars
Morning sessions at the pier break, afternoon bodysurf at Bermuda, sunset walks along Sunset Cliffs — the ocean lifestyle generates constant laundry. Sandy towels, salty boardshorts, rash guards, and sunscreen-stained shirts. We handle all of it so you can stay focused on the next swell.
Dog Beach Devotees
If you’re at Dog Beach multiple times a week (and in OB, you probably are), you know the laundry it creates — sandy towels, fur-covered blankets, muddy pet beds. We wash it all, thoroughly and without complaint.
Newport Avenue Business Owners and Employees
Running a shop, restaurant, or bar on Newport takes long hours. Staff pulling late shifts at OB’s local spots deserve their mornings off. We take laundry off the list entirely.
Service Industry Workers
Late nights at South Beach Bar & Grille, OB Noodle House, Wonderland, or any of the bars and restaurants along Newport — your schedule isn’t 9-to-5. Our flexible pickup times mean laundry gets handled around your actual life.
Vacation Rental and Airbnb Hosts
OB has a significant short-term rental scene, especially near the beach and the pier. We handle turnover laundry — sheets, towels, guest linens — with consistent quality and next-day turnaround between bookings.
Freelancers and Remote Workers
Working from a one-bedroom in OB means your home is also your office, and chores compete with deadlines. Schedule a pickup between calls and meetings — laundry handled without leaving the apartment.
Anyone Living the OB Life
If you’d rather watch the sunset from the cliffs, grab a burger at Hodad’s, browse the Wednesday farmers market, or take one more walk to the tide pools instead of folding clothes — that’s exactly why we exist.
What's Included in Our Laundry Pickup and Delivery Service
Frequently Asked Questions — Laundry Pickup and Delivery in Ocean Beach
How does the laundry pickup and delivery service work?
You schedule a pickup online or by phone, we collect your dirty laundry from your OB doorstep, wash and fold everything at our facility with the products you choose, and deliver it back the next business day. The entire process is hands-off for you.
What's included in the price?
Everything you need: free doorstep pickup and delivery throughout Ocean Beach, your choice of premium detergent, pre-rinsing for sandy and salty items, proper sorting by color and fabric, commercial washing and drying, professional folding or hanging, ozone sanitation, and consistent adherence to your custom preferences.
How much does the service cost?
We charge by weight — $2.49 per pound for weekly service or $2.69 per pound for on-request orders. There's a $49.99 minimum order plus a $5.99 transportation charge. Most individual orders run $20–50; couples and households typically fall between $50 and $100.
What detergents are available?
You choose from premium brands: Tide, Gain, All Free & Clear (hypoallergenic), 7th Generation (eco-friendly), Persil, and others. All options are included at no additional cost.
My apartment doesn't have laundry — can you replace my laundromat trips?
That's one of the most common reasons OB residents use our service. Many of the apartments, cottages, and older buildings in OB lack in-unit laundry. We pick up from your door and deliver back to your door — no shared machines, no coins, no hauling bags anywhere.
Can you handle sandy beach towels and salty gear?
Yes — and we handle them properly. Beach towels and swimwear get a pre-rinse to remove sand and salt before going into the wash. This prevents fabric wear, eliminates musty saltwater odors, and produces a much cleaner result than shared laundromat machines.
Do you wash Dog Beach laundry?
Absolutely. Sandy towels, fur-covered blankets, muddy pet bedding — it's all part of the service. Give items with heavy debris a quick shake before pickup, and we take care of the rest. Pet items are washed separately from your clothing.
Can you clean wetsuits?
We don't clean neoprene wetsuits, as they require specialized handling. However, we do wash rash guards, surf shirts, boardshorts, and all non-neoprene surf clothing and accessories.
How quickly will I get my laundry back?
Next business day. Schedule pickup Monday through Saturday, and your clean, folded laundry returns the following day. Same-day service is not available for standard orders.
Do you pre-treat stains?
Yes. We address common stains — sunscreen, food, wine, grass, sweat, salt residue — with targeted products before washing. If a stain appears to need dry cleaning treatment, we'll let you know rather than risk damaging the garment.
Can I include bedding, comforters, and towels?
Yes. Sheets, pillowcases, comforters, blankets, towels, and bath mats are all part of the service. We wash bedding separately from clothing for hygiene purposes.
How should I prepare for pickup?
Place your laundry in any bag or basket. Check all pockets (we're not responsible for items left inside). Give sandy or muddy items a quick shake. No need to sort anything — that's our job. Contactless pickup is always available.
Can I save my preferences for every order?
Yes. Tell us your detergent choice, water temperature preference, what to hang versus fold, fabric softener instructions, and any other details. We apply those preferences consistently on every order — you only need to tell us once.
Why should Ocean Beach residents use laundry pickup and delivery?
You get back 3–5 hours every week. That's another surf session, another sunset from the cliffs, a stroll through the Wednesday farmers market, or a long afternoon at Dog Beach — instead of standing in a laundromat. Professional results, premium products, free pickup — delivered to your OB 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.
