Professional Wash and Fold Service for Ocean Beach Residents
Ocean Beach runs on a different clock. Morning surf sessions, afternoon hangs at the pier, sunset beers on Newport Avenue, Dog Beach with the pup on weekends. It’s one of San Diego’s last true beach towns, and the laundry that comes with that lifestyle is relentless.
Freshly Folded provides convenient wash-and-fold service built for OB life. We pick up your sandy, salty laundry, wash everything with premium products, and deliver it back fresh and neatly folded, usually within 24 hours.
No more hauling bags to the laundromat on Voltaire. No more Sandy machines in shared laundry rooms. Just easy pickup and delivery right to your OB cottage, apartment, or house.

Who Uses Our Wash and Fold Service in Ocean Beach?
Surfers & Ocean Athletes
Daily dawn patrol sessions mean towels, boardshorts, rash guards, and wetsuits (neoprene excluded) piling up fast. We handle the constant cycle of salty, sandy laundry that comes with living in the water.
Dog Beach Regulars
If your dog hits the beach as often as you do, you know the laundry situation: sandy towels, fur-covered blankets, muddy pet beds. We take care of all pet-related laundry alongside your regular clothes.
Beach Cottage & Bungalow Renters
OB’s charming older homes and cottages often lack in-unit laundry. Rather than feeding quarters into a shared machine, let us pick up everything from your porch.
Newport Avenue Business Owners
Running a shop, restaurant, or bar in Newport takes long hours. We take one recurring chore off your list so you can focus on your business and your customers.

Managing an Airbnb or VRBO in Ocean Beach? Our service handles turnover laundry, sheets, towels, and linens cleaned and returned for your next guest.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wash and Fold in Ocean Beach
How does the wash and fold service work in Ocean Beach?
Schedule pickup online or by phone. We pick up dirty laundry from your OB home or apartment, wash it with premium products selected by you, fold it professionally, and deliver it back the next business day.
What's included in the service?
Everything: free pickup and delivery throughout Ocean Beach, premium detergent of your choice, pre-rinsing for sandy items, proper sorting by color and fabric, washing, drying, professional folding or hanging, ozone sanitation, and custom preference handling.
How do you price wash and fold?
By weight: $2.49/lb for weekly service, $2.69/lb for on-request service. Minimum order $49.99 plus $5.99 transportation charge. Most single-person orders cost $20–50; couples and households typically run $50–100.
What products do you use?
You choose! Options include Tide, Gain, All Free & Clear (hypoallergenic), 7th Generation (eco-friendly), Persil, and more. All premium brands are included at no extra cost.
Can you handle sandy beach towels and salty gear?
That's one of the main reasons OB residents use our service. We pre-rinse sandy and salt-crusted items before washing to prevent fabric damage and eliminate musty ocean odors. Commercial-grade equipment handles what home machines can't.
Do you wash Dog Beach laundry?
Yes! Sandy towels, fur-covered blankets, muddy pet bedding, we handle all pet-related laundry. Items with excessive debris should be shaken out before pickup, but we take care of the rest.
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.
How is laundry sorted?
We separate by color (whites, lights, darks) and fabric type. Sandy and beach items receive pre-rinsing before going into the main wash. You can also request sorting by household member.
What's the turnaround time?
Next business day. Schedule pickup Monday–Saturday and receive delivery the following day. Same-day service is not available for wash and fold.
Do you treat stains?
Yes! We pre-treat common stains (sunscreen, food, grass, salt residue, coffee) with appropriate stain removers before washing. Difficult stains may require dry cleaning, we'll notify you if items need different treatment.
Can I include bedding and towels?
Yes! Sheets, pillowcases, comforters, blankets, towels, and bath mats are all included. We wash bedding separately from clothing for hygiene.
How do I prepare for pickup?
Place laundry in any bag or basket. Shake out excess sand from beach items if possible. Check pockets thoroughly (we're not responsible for items left in pockets). No need to sort, we handle that professionally. Leave at the designated spot for contactless pickup if preferred.
Can I set custom preferences?
Absolutely! Tell us water temperature, detergent choice, what to hang vs. fold, fabric softener preferences, and any special instructions. We follow your preferences consistently.
Why should Ocean Beach residents use a wash and fold service?
Save 3–5 hours per week. Skip the laundromat on Voltaire and the shared laundry room entirely. Spend that time surfing, hitting Dog Beach, watching sunset from the cliffs, or grabbing dinner on Newport Avenue. Professional results delivered straight 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.
