If your shirts are washed but still waiting for the ironing board, pressing is the remaining job. Freshly Folded provides pressing and ironing with pickup and delivery, starting at $4.50 per eligible item.
You can send clean garments for pressing without adding a cleaning service. The $49.99 minimum service charge applies before the separate $5.99 pickup fee, which covers collection and return. Pressing charges count toward the minimum.
Before you schedule a pressing pickup, tell us which items need pressing and whether you need them for a particular date. Confirm the return date before relying on an event deadline.
Pressing is garment finishing: it uses heat and pressure, with steam where appropriate, to smooth wrinkles and shape a garment. Press-only service is for clean clothes; it does not include washing or stain removal.
The garment’s care instructions matter. The FTC’s care-label guidance explains that labels may need warnings against ironing or steaming. A washable garment is not automatically suitable for a hot iron. Flag a missing label or a finishing restriction before booking.
When do you need professional pressing?
Business Shirts: Crisp collars, smooth sleeves, and professional appearance for office wear
Dress pants: A pressed finish for business attire, with crease preferences confirmed for the garment.
After Travel: Pressing for clean clothes wrinkled in a suitcase.
Special Events: Look polished for interviews, presentations, and formal occasions
Home Storage: Finishing for clean clothing that has developed storage wrinkles.
Shirt Pressing vs Dry Cleaning: What’s the Difference?
Choose pressing when clothes are already clean and need finishing. If they have stains, odors or soil, choose an appropriate cleaning service first. The care label and garment construction help determine whether washing or dry cleaning is suitable.
Our dry-cleaning service is a separate service with per-garment pricing. Confirm the finishing included for your particular item. The wash and fold versus dry cleaning guide explains the cleaning options.
You can also request pressing alongside wash and fold. Identify which pieces need that extra service; ordinary wash-and-fold pricing does not include pressing.

Freshly Folded's pressing process includes checking the fabric and care label. Higher heat is not a benefit for every garment; finishing needs to suit the item.
Our pressing service includes attention to shirt collars and cuffs. Tell us about a crease preference or another finishing request so we can confirm what is suitable for your garment.
When the ironing pile is what stands between you and putting the clothes away, sending those pieces for pressing takes that task off your list.
Fabric, construction and condition affect the finish. Let us know about delicate trims, existing marks or any care-label restrictions before sending an item.
Check your address in our service-area directory and booking system. Our pickup and delivery page explains collection arrangements.
These are the published pressing prices for eligible everyday garments. Cleaning is a separate service. Confirm suitability if a care label, trim or construction needs special handling.

| Dress pants or slacks | $4.50 |

Pressing items are returned on hangers. Ask about starch or a particular crease before pickup; availability and suitability need confirmation. For suits and other specialty pieces, confirm the service and price instead of applying this table.
See our full service prices for cleaning options. If you combine services, confirm the return arrangements for the order; do not assume all items have the same turnaround.
Book your pickup online or call (619) 586-5755. State which garments are already clean and need pressing only, and add access instructions for collection.
If you prefer scheduling on your phone, download the Freshly Folded app for iPhone to arrange pickups.
Each garment is inspected:
Preparation depends on the garment and its care instructions. Tell us about stains or soil before pickup so we can advise whether cleaning is needed first. Press-only service does not include stain treatment.
Using commercial equipment:
Our finishing check reviews the garment's appearance before packaging. The expected finish depends on its fabric and condition; pressing is not a promise that every wrinkle or existing mark will disappear.
Pressed garments are returned on hangers with protective bags. Confirm the return date when arranging the order, particularly if it includes cleaning or is needed for an event.
For future pickups, you can also download the Freshly Folded Android app and schedule from your phone.
Choose a cleaning service for garments with stains, odors or soil. Follow the care label and confirm the cleaning method and finishing for the item.
Unsure which service to request? Tell us whether the clothes are clean, what the care label says and the finish you want. Call (619) 586-5755 before booking a specialty garment. A worn shirt does not automatically require dry cleaning; its care instructions determine the appropriate cleaning method.
Eligible everyday garments cost $4.50 each for pressing. The minimum service charge is $49.99 per order, before the $5.99 pickup fee covering collection and return. The minimum is not an additional $49.99 added to your pressing subtotal.
| Order | Pressing subtotal | Service charge after minimum | With $5.99 pickup fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 eligible items | $45.00 | $49.99 | $55.98 |
| 12 eligible items | $54.00 | $54.00 | $59.99 |
Pressing and cleaning charges can contribute to the same order minimum. Check the return arrangements when combining them. Compare pressing and cleaning prices before deciding what to send.
Schedule online or call (619) 586-5755. Check address eligibility and available collection times when booking.
Clean garments receive pressing suited to their fabric and care instructions. Request any particular finishing preferences before collection.
Your pressing items return on hangers with protective bags. Confirm the return date for your order before planning to wear them.
How does Freshly Folded approach garment pressing?
Our published process includes checking fabric and care instructions, pressing, hand-finishing details, and reviewing the garment before packaging. Tell us about delicate trims or existing damage before sending an item.
Do I need to send shirts regularly?
No. Pressing is available on request without a weekly subscription. The $49.99 minimum service charge and separate $5.99 pickup fee apply to each order.
Does Freshly Folded press dress shirts and work clothes?
Yes. Eligible everyday items include dress shirts, button-downs, blouses, slacks, and chinos at $4.50 per item. Confirm pricing and acceptance for blazers, suit jackets, or garments needing special handling.
Can pressing help with clothes I already washed at home?
Yes. Press-only service is for clean clothes that need finishing. It does not include washing, dry cleaning, or stain removal. Check the care label before requesting ironing or steam.
How does the first pressing pickup work?
Book online, use the Freshly Folded mobile app, or call (619) 586-5755. Identify the items that need pressing only, give collection instructions, and confirm the return date. Pressed items are returned on hangers.
What does $4.50 per item include?
It is the pressing price for an eligible everyday garment, not a cleaning price or an all-in pickup total. A $49.99 minimum service charge applies, followed by a separate $5.99 pickup fee covering collection and return.
Can I combine pressing with washing or dry cleaning?
Yes. Tell us which items need cleaning and which need pressing only. The services are charged separately and can contribute to the order minimum. Confirm the return arrangements for mixed orders.
Can every garment have the same crisp finish?
No. Fabric, construction, condition, and care instructions affect the finish. Some garments restrict heat or steam. Discuss crease or starch requests before pickup rather than assuming they suit every item.
What can you press beyond shirts?
The everyday price list includes blouses, trousers, polos, linen shirts, skirts, and casual dresses. For structured jackets, formalwear, decorated or pleated garments, and household textiles, confirm acceptance and a price first.
Where is pressing pickup available?
Pressing pickup is available in served San Diego County communities, including San Diego, Chula Vista, Escondido and La Mesa, and the San Diego neighborhoods of La Jolla and Hillcrest. Check your specific address when booking; a county name alone does not confirm eligibility.
