We come to where you're staying

You don't have to be there. When you book, just tell us where the bag will be.

  • Hotel

    Check that the front desk can hold your bag, then write your name and room number on it. When you book, add the hotel name, your room number and “bag at front desk.” We bring it back to the front desk, clean and folded.

  • Apartment or extended stay

    Add the building name, your unit and where the bag will be: your door, the concierge or the package room. Call us about gates and garages, and please keep access codes out of the order.

  • House or rental

    Leave the bag by the door and say exactly where in your order. If there's a gate, call us and we'll sort it out.

What to expect when you book

  1. Enter your street address. Cents shows our store address until you type yours.
  2. Tap Wash & Fold - Pickup and Delivery, choose by-the-pound or by-the-bag (up to 40 lb), and pick an available pickup time.
  3. Add where you'll leave the bag and any laundry notes.
