Pickup & Delivery Service

1. How do I prepare my first order?

For your first pickup, you can use a standard 13-gallon kitchen trash bag. Please write your name clearly on the outside to help us identify your order. If you use our On-Demand service, you may request a reusable WashApp bag for $10 per bag. To request a bag, contact us here.

No. You can leave your laundry in an accessible, designated location and include your instructions in your WashApp account. Please choose a secure, sheltered location whenever possible to protect your order from weather and unauthorized access.

3. Where should I leave my laundry?

A covered porch, garage, or another agreed-upon location is usually a good option. If you live in a building or gated community, please provide any necessary access instructions. We recommend choosing a location protected from rain and direct exposure.

4. What laundry products do you use?

We use laundry products selected for our standard wash-and-fold service. If you have allergies, sensitivities, or specific product concerns, please contact us before your scheduled pickup so we can discuss available options. We currently cannot accept customer-provided detergents or additives.
