What the per-pound price covers
Wash & Fold means the routine washing, drying, and folding work is handled for you. It is different from self-service laundry, where you remain responsible for the machines and timing.
Per-pound pricing makes the cost easier to understand before drop-off. Your actual total depends on the weight of the accepted laundry.
Regular versus same-day service
Regular service is the lower-priced option. Same-day service carries a higher per-pound rate because it requires available capacity that day.
Same-day is not guaranteed. Contact the store early and wait for confirmation before making plans around a same-day completion.
Before you drop off
- Check garment care labels and separate anything needing unusual handling.
- Share reasonable preferences or special instructions at drop-off.
- Ask the team if you are unsure whether an item belongs in a Wash & Fold order.
- Review pickup transportation charges separately if you want door-to-door service.
Comparing the full cost
Pickup and delivery transportation is separate: $7.99 each way within 5 miles, or $11.99 each way over 5 miles through 10 miles. See the pricing page for a single clear summary.
What affects the final total?
The accepted laundry weight is the main factor for standard Wash & Fold. Choosing same-day service raises the per-pound rate. Pickup and return transportation add separate each-way charges. An oversized or unusual item may need a separate conversation when no item-specific price is published; ask before assuming it follows the standard rate.
Estimating before drop-off
A home scale can provide a rough estimate: weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the laundry bag and compare the difference. Bags and scale accuracy affect the result, so treat it only as planning guidance. The store’s accepted order weight determines the actual Wash & Fold charge.
