OSHA-compliant pickup with isolation-ward bin separation, pet-hair removal cycles, and ozone sanitization for dander and odor control. Built for vet clinics, groomers, pet hotels, and animal facilities. No long contracts.
San Diego’s thriving pet care industry serves one of America’s most pet-friendly communities. From mobile groomers serving Coronado’s dog beaches to full-service veterinary hospitals in Rancho Bernardo, from boutique grooming salons in La Jolla to high-volume doggy daycares in Mira Mesa, every pet care business faces the same operational challenge: constant commercial laundry demands.
Freshly Folded specializes in commercial laundry service for animal care facilities. We understand that grooming towels accumulate faster than residential washers can handle, that kennel bedding requires commercial-grade sanitization, that veterinary surgical linens demand medical-grade cleanliness, and that your business cannot afford laundry disruptions.
Our commercial service eliminates your facility’s laundry burden. We pick up soiled linens, towels, bedding, and uniforms directly from your San Diego location, process everything through commercial-grade equipment with veterinary-safe products, and deliver fresh, sanitized items back to your facility, typically within 24 hours. Your staff focuses on animal care while we handle the commercial laundry operation your business requires.
Step 1: OSHA-compliant pickup with separated bins. We provide color-coded sealed bins. General practice linens, surgical linens, and isolation ward linens go into separate bins. Bins are sealed at the clinic and not opened until processing.
Step 2: Sealed transport. Soiled bins ride in a separate truck compartment from clean returns. Isolation bins ride in their own compartment. No cross-contamination during transport.
Step 3: Wash with ArtiClean ozone sanitization plus pet-hair extraction. Every load runs ozone treatment for dander and odor. The pet-hair extraction cycle runs on towels and blankets. Hot-water cycles on surgical linens. Enzyme pre-treatment on urine-soaked items.
Step 4: Next-day return in sealed, clean bags. Clean linens come back folded, banded by category, in sealed bags. Delivered to your clean storage area, separate from the soiled-bin pickup zone.
Veterinary laundry has problems that most commercial laundries do not understand. Pet hair embedded in towels and blankets does not lift on standard wash cycles. Isolation ward linens cannot share bins with general practice linens. Urine and pet odor compounds need ozone-level chemistry to clear, not fragranced detergents that mask them.
Most commercial laundries treat vet clinic linens like restaurant linens or hotel linens. They miss the pet-specific protocols, and the clinic staff ends up doing wash in-house on a residential machine that breaks under the volume.
Freshly Folded built a veterinary laundry service around the actual operational requirements. OSHA bloodborne pathogen handling for surgical and exam linens. Isolation bin separation for parvo, distemper, and other contagious cases. Dedicated pet-hair extraction cycles. ArtiClean ozone sanitization on every load to clear dander and odor compounds.
We serve general practice clinics, specialty surgical centers, emergency vets, mixed-animal practices, pet hotels, and groomers across San Diego County.
Pet hair embedded in towels and blankets. Standard wash cycles leave pet hair stuck in terry loops and woven blankets. Our cycles use mechanical agitation plus high-flow lint extraction to clear hair before linens come back to the clinic.
Dander allergens for staff. Vet techs handle dozens of animals per day, and clinic linens carry dander that triggers staff allergies. Ozone treatment breaks dander proteins so allergen load drops between wash cycles.
Isolation ward separation. Parvo, distemper, kennel cough, and other contagious cases require isolation ward linens to stay completely separate from general practice linens through the entire pickup-to-delivery cycle. We use color-coded sealed bins and separate transport compartments.
Urine and odor compounds. Pet urine contains uric acid crystals that bond to fabric and re-release odor with humidity. Standard detergent cannot break the crystal bond. Ozone plus enzyme-based pre-treatment clears it.
OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols. Surgical drapes, exam towels, and post-op linens carry potential bloodborne pathogens. We follow OSHA-compliant handling: sealed bins, separate transport, hot-water cycles for items requiring it, and documented pickup logs.
Volume that breaks residential machines. Even a small vet clinic generates 100-300 lbs/week of laundry. That volume kills home washing machines within months. Outsourcing is cheaper than replacing equipment annually.
Veterinary clinic volume runs 100-300 lbs/week, depending on practice size and case mix.
Typical setups:
Veterinary accounts are quoted on weekly volume, isolation requirements, and pickup frequency.
Most vet clinic accounts land between $1.10 and $1.95 per pound, depending on volume, isolation handling, and frequency.

How much does pet care laundry service cost for groomers in San Diego?
Freshly Folded charges $2.49 per pound on a weekly recurring schedule or $2.69 per pound for on-request pickups. There is a $49.99 minimum order and a $5.99 transportation fee per pickup. A busy grooming salon processing 15-25 dogs per day typically generates 40-60 pounds of towels per week. Weekly service keeps costs predictable and ensures you always have clean towels ready for the grooming table.
How does laundry pickup and delivery work for pet groomers?
Bag your used grooming towels, pet bedding, and other textiles. We pick up from your facility on a scheduled day, wash and sanitize everything with hospital-grade ozone, and deliver clean items back the next business day. You can set up recurring weekly pickups or schedule on-demand when you need them. We handle the laundry so you can focus on the dogs.
Can you remove pet hair and animal odors from grooming towels?
Yes. Pet hair, dander, and stubborn animal odors are exactly what our process is built to handle. Our commercial-grade Maytag and Speed Queen equipment removes embedded pet hair far more effectively than residential machines. The ArtiClean Ozone System then kills odor-causing bacteria at the molecular level, so towels come back genuinely clean, not just masking odors with fragrance.
Do you actually handle pet facility laundry, bedding, towels, grooming aprons, or is this just a regular laundry service?
We specifically serve pet groomers, dog daycares, and pet care facilities across San Diego County. We handle pet bedding, grooming towels, aprons, and any other textiles your operation generates. Our ozone system is especially effective on pet odors that standard washing cannot fully eliminate. Book a commercial pickup at Freshly Folded or call (619) 586-5755.
What types of items from a pet facility can you wash?
We wash all standard pet facility textiles: dog and cat bedding, crate liners, grooming towels, bath towels, aprons, smocks, staff uniforms, and play mats. If you have specialty items or delicate fabrics, let us know when you schedule, and we will confirm handling. Call (619) 586-5755 with any questions.
Are pet care linens sanitized to prevent cross-contamination?
Every load runs through our ArtiClean Ozone System, which kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including kennel cough bacteria, ringworm spores, and other pathogens common in pet care environments. This hospital-grade sanitization is included free on every load and is especially critical for veterinary clinics and boarding facilities where cross-contamination between animals is a real concern.
Do you offer warm towel service for dog grooming salons?
We provide the clean, fresh towels that groomers need for warm towel wraps and drying. While we deliver towels clean and folded, you warm them at your facility using your own towel warmer or cabi. Many San Diego groomers tell us that ozone-sanitized towels hold warmth better and feel noticeably softer against the coat, which makes the grooming experience more comfortable for the dogs.
Do you serve pet care businesses throughout San Diego County?
Yes, Freshly Folded serves 50+ communities across San Diego County and into Riverside County, so whether your grooming salon is in Chula Vista, Escondido, or anywhere in between, we can schedule regular pickups. Call (619) 586-5755 or book at Freshly Folded to confirm your location.
Is there a minimum order or contract for a pet groomer laundry service?
There is a $49.99 minimum per pickup, but no contract and no long-term commitment. This makes our service accessible for solo groomers as well as multi-location pet care chains. Scale up when your boarding kennel is full during holidays and reduce during slower months. You only pay for the loads you send.
How do I set up pet care laundry service for my business?
Call (619) 586-5755, text (619) 389-3206, or sign up at Freshly Folded. Tell us your business type, location, approximate weekly towel and bedding volume, and your preferred detergent (Tide, Gain, All Free and Clear, or 7th Generation). We can typically schedule your first pickup within 24-48 hours.
Why should I trust Freshly Folded to handle laundry from a pet care facility?
Freshly Folded is a family-owned San Diego laundry service run by Steve and his wife, with years of experience handling high-volume commercial laundry for local businesses. We use professional Maytag and Speed Queen equipment built for heavy-duty loads, and every wash includes our free ArtiClean ozone sanitization cycle, proven to eliminate bacteria, odors, and allergens that standard detergent alone cannot touch. Call us at (619) 586-5755 to learn how we can serve your facility.
What makes Freshly Folded different from just using an in-house washer or a regular laundromat?
Commercial laundromats do not offer pickup and delivery, and in-house machines wear out fast under pet facility volumes. Freshly Folded provides scheduled pickup and next-day delivery using commercial-grade Maytag and Speed Queen washers, plus free ArtiClean ozone sanitization on every load, which neutralizes pet dander, bacteria, and odor at the molecular level. That is a level of cleanliness your staff and clients will notice.
How do I prepare my pet facility’s laundry for pickup?
Just bag it up. We recommend separating heavily soiled items (like pet bedding) from lighter items (like aprons) if possible, but it is not required. We handle sorting and pre-treatment as needed. We pick up on a schedule that works around your business hours, and everything is returned clean and folded the next day.
Do you follow OSHA protocols for surgical and exam linens?
Yes. Sealed bin pickup, separate transport compartments, hot-water cycles on items requiring it, and documented pickup logs. We treat veterinary linens with the same handling protocols as medical office linens.
How do you handle isolation ward linens?
Color-coded sealed bins for isolation cases. Separate transport compartment. Separate wash cycle. Isolation linens never share contact with general practice linens during the pickup-to-delivery cycle.
My towels come back with pet hair still embedded. Can you actually remove it?
Yes. Standard wash cycles do not extract embedded hair. Our cycles use mechanical agitation plus high-flow lint extraction to clear hair before linens come back to your clinic.
Can you remove pet urine smell from blankets?
Yes. Pet urine contains uric acid crystals that bond to fabric and re-release odor with humidity. We use enzyme-based pre-treatment plus ozone to break the bond and clear the odor at the molecular level. Standard detergent cannot do this.
My staff has allergies to pet dander. Will your service reduce dander on linens?
Yes. Ozone treatment breaks down dander proteins. Allergen load drops significantly between cycles compared to the standard wash.
Can you handle parvo or distemper-exposed linens?
Yes. Flag the bin before pickup. We bag and process separately with hot water and ozone cycles that kill the virus. Isolation handling is standard practice for us.
