How does Laundry Picked Up work?

Schedule a pickup on our website. Leave your laundry bag at your door. We pick it up, wash and fold everything, and deliver it back clean — usually within 24 hours. You don't need to be home.

How much does wash and fold cost?

Wash and fold starts at $2.25 per pound for recurring pickup customers and $2.50 per pound for pay-as-you-go. Minimum order is $29.99 which covers the first 12 pounds. Pickup and delivery are always free with no hidden fees.

Is my laundry washed separately?

Always. Your laundry is never combined with anyone else's. We separate your lights and darks, check pockets for loose items, and wash each customer's load individually.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Alexandria, Springfield, Annandale, Falls Church, Arlington (south), and surrounding Northern Virginia communities. This includes neighborhoods like Old Town, Del Ray, Kingstowne, Crystal City, Pentagon City, and more.

Do I need to be home for pickup and delivery?

No. Leave your laundry bag at your door, porch, or with your building concierge. We'll pick it up and return your clean, folded laundry to the same spot. You'll get a notification when it's done.

How long until I get my laundry back?

Standard turnaround is 24 hours. Same-day service may be available depending on pickup time and location.

Can I choose my detergent and settings?

Yes. You can specify regular, hypoallergenic, or eco-friendly detergent; water temperature; fabric softener preference; and dryer heat settings.

Do you wash bedding and comforters?

We focus on everyday wash and fold — regular clothing, towels, sheets, and similar items. Oversized bedding items like king comforters may be priced per piece.

What if something is damaged?

We treat your clothes with care and follow your instructions. If anything is damaged during our process, we make it right — guaranteed.

Can I set up a weekly pickup schedule?

Yes. Set up recurring weekly or bi-weekly pickups and we'll automatically pick up and deliver on your chosen day. Recurring pickup plans save you money per pound.

Is this better than going to the laundromat?

We think so. No driving, no waiting, no folding. We pick up from your door, wash your clothes separately (not in shared machines), fold everything neatly, and deliver it back. You save 2-3 hours per week.

Do you serve apartment buildings and condos?

Yes. We serve houses, apartments, condos, and townhomes. For apartment buildings, you can leave your bag with the concierge or at your door.

How do I schedule my first pickup?

You can schedule your first pickup online in under a minute. Visit our scheduling page, enter your address, choose a pickup date and time window, and add any special instructions. You will receive a confirmation text right away.

Do I need to be home when you pick up or deliver?

No, you do not need to be home for pickup or delivery. Most customers leave their laundry bag at the front door, porch, or with their building concierge. Our driver picks it up and returns your clean laundry to the same spot, and you receive a text notification at each step.

How fast will I get my laundry back?

Most orders are returned within 24 to 48 hours of pickup. Your laundry is processed the same day it is collected, and you receive a text notification when your clean clothes are on the way back to you.

What if I have special care instructions for certain items?

You can add special instructions during scheduling. Let us know about fabric sensitivities, preferred water temperature, hypoallergenic detergent needs, or any items that require gentle handling. We save your preferences for future orders.
