If you run a grooming shop, vet clinic, or pet boarding facility in San Diego, you already know the laundry situation. Towels pile up. Dog beds reek. Grooming capes are caked with fur. And somehow, there’s always more. That’s exactly why a pet groomer laundry service in San Diego pays for itself fast.
Most pet care businesses burn 2-3 hours a day on laundry. That’s time you could spend on actual animals. Here’s how outsourcing your grooming shop laundry works — and why more San Diego groomers are doing it.
A single grooming appointment generates 3-5 towels. A busy shop doing 15 dogs a day? That’s 45-75 towels before lunch. Add in grooming capes, kennel bedding, blankets, and the occasional horse blanket from an equine client, and you’re looking at serious volume.
Pet care laundry is different from regular commercial laundry. The hair alone wrecks home washers — it clogs drains, wraps around agitators, and embeds in fabric. Then there’s the smell. Wet dog, kennel odor, and the occasional “accident” aren’t going away with a normal wash cycle.
That’s before you consider hygiene. Kennels and grooming tables need genuinely sanitized textiles, not just clean-looking ones. Ringworm, kennel cough bacteria, and parasites can survive a standard warm-water wash.
Freshly Folded works with groomers, veterinary clinics, doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and equine operations across San Diego County. Whether you need a dog grooming towel service or a full kennel laundry service, here’s what we pick up:
Everything gets processed on commercial-grade Maytag and Speed Queen machines built for heavy loads and stubborn pet hair. It’s animal care textile cleaning done right, no shortcuts on sanitization or fabric quality.
Every load we process goes through our ArtiClean ozone sanitization system. This matters more for pet businesses than almost any other client we serve, and it’s a big reason our veterinary laundry service in San Diego has grown so fast.
Ozone laundry kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including the pathogens that cause kennel cough, ringworm, and parvovirus, on surfaces. It works by converting oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3), a natural oxidizer that destroys microorganisms on contact. No harsh chemicals needed.
For pet facilities, this means:
If you’ve ever pulled “clean” towels out of your shop washer and they still smell like wet dog, you know why pet salon towel washing needs more than a regular spin cycle.
We charge by the pound, not by the item. For pet business laundry by the pound, this is the most cost-effective model — especially at the volumes groomers and kennels generate.
Here’s why pound-based pricing works for groomers: A grooming towel weighs about half a pound. At per-item pricing from other services, you’d pay $2-4 per towel. By the pound, that same towel costs roughly $1.25. The savings add up fast when you’re washing 50+ towels a day.
A few things to know about our commercial pricing:
We’ll give you a custom quote based on your typical weekly volume. Most grooming shops make between $150-400/week, depending on size and appointment load.
The process is simple and built around your schedule:
We serve pet businesses across San Diego County, from Carlsbad and Oceanside in North County down to Chula Vista and El Cajon in East County.
Pickup hours are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, with Saturday pickups available (returned Monday).
Before you decide, consider what in-house laundry actually costs your business:
Most grooming shops spend $400-600/week on in-house laundry when you add it all up. Outsourcing typically saves 30-50%.
Plus, your staff gets to focus on grooming dogs instead of folding towels. That’s more appointments, more revenue, and happier employees.
If you’re a pet care business in San Diego County looking to drop the laundry burden, our pet groomer laundry service in San Diego can have you set up in 24 hours.

Can you handle the amount of pet hair on grooming towels? Yes. Our commercial Maytag and Speed Queen machines are built for high-volume loads with heavy debris. We process towels from grooming shops daily; pet hair is our norm.
Do you sanitize towels enough for kennel use? Every load goes through our ArtiClean ozone sanitization system, which kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This exceeds standard commercial laundry sanitization levels.
What if my towels arrive wet or soaked? No problem. We charge by weight after processing, not before pickup. You’ll never pay for water weight.
How quickly do I get my towels back? Next-day return is standard. If we pick up on Monday morning, your clean towels will be back on Tuesday morning.
Do you serve pet businesses outside San Diego city limits? Yes. We cover all of San Diego County, plus Lake Elsinore in Riverside County.
