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. 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 North Park residents use a wash and fold service?
Save 3–5 hours per week. Skip the laundromat lines and shared laundry rooms entirely. Spend that time enjoying North Park's breweries, shops, parks, and community events instead of folding clothes. Professional results delivered straight to your door.
