It sounds ridiculous, but this service has changed my life. Laundry was taking up so much of my very limited free time, and outsourcing it gives me a refreshing amount of margin in my life. I wish I'd tried this earlier. If you're looking for ways to make more margin in your life, just try it and see what a difference it makes. We tried the service through a deal site and are now using it weekly.
PROs:
- Competitive rate. This is a luxury, and I know it. But the rates are competitive with similar services. I really like that we pay by the pound, so I don't feel like I can send whatever amount I need.
- Convenience. Pick up and delivery is awesome!!
- Detergent choices. You can request unscented products if needed.
- Crisp presentation. Leave the laundry in a cloth bag provided by the company, and it's returned in dry cleaning style bags. The folding is insanely perfect, and I LOVE it! Wow! I wish I could fold so neatly.
- Schedule accommodation. If you're out of town and need to miss a week, no problem.
- Small business. I really like that I'm supporting a female entrepreneur.
CONs:
- Stains. This isn't really a con so much as it's about expectation management. This service is best for regularly soiled clothing and not for heavily stained items. Kids can really bring on the dirt, so some things I need to treat separately at home. read more
