Professional Pressing for Ocean Beach's Unique Community

Ocean Beach embodies San Diego’s laid-back surf culture, boardwalk strolls, weekly drum circles at sunset, the legendary Farmers Market on Newport Avenue, and a fiercely independent spirit. Between work commutes downtown, freelance client meetings, community events, and enjoying OB’s beach lifestyle, ironing falls pretty low on the priority list.

Freshly Folded provides commercial-quality pressing designed for Ocean Beach’s creative professionals and bohemian community. We pick up wrinkled garments, press them using professional steam equipment, and deliver everything back crisp and ready, usually within 24 hours.

No more Sunday evenings spent ironing work shirts while waves call your name. No more wrestling with wrinkled linen before weddings or events. Just convenient pickup and delivery of perfectly pressed garments, right to your OB bungalow or beachfront apartment.

Why Ocean Beach Residents Choose Freshly Folded

We Understand OB Life

Ocean Beach isn't about corporate culture; it's creative professionals, self-employed entrepreneurs, artists, and free spirits who need to "clean up nice" occasionally. We get it. You live in flip-flops but sometimes need pressed shirts.

Linen Expertise

OB loves linen for beach climate comfort, but linen wrinkles if you look at it wrong. Our commercial equipment tames linen beautifully, crisp without being stiff.

Eco-Conscious Options

Ocean Beach cares about sustainability (you shop at People's Co-op, we know). We offer eco-friendly pressing options that align with OB's environmental values.

Commercial Steam Equipment

Coastal humidity makes home ironing frustrating. Our commercial steam presses deliver superior results that last longer, even in ocean air.

Perfect for Creative Professionals

Work from beach cafés, meet clients at breweries, and present at downtown offices, you need a versatile wardrobe. We press everything from business casual to smart-casual with appropriate care.

Free Pickup & Delivery

You walk or bike most places in OB. We come to you, no driving to the dry cleaners on Rosecrans or Point Loma Boulevard.

Support Local Business

OB values mom-and-pop shops over chains. While we serve all of San Diego, we appreciate communities like Ocean Beach that champion independent businesses.

Next-Day Turnaround

Schedule pickup Monday through Saturday, receive delivery the next business day. Get back to the beach, the Pier, Dog Beach, or wherever OB life takes you.

Frequently Asked Questions - Professional Pressing in Ocean Beach
