wash n fold service

Original post by GiannisWifey

Does anyone do this? I feel kinda snobby like I can't do my own laundry but its just the time saver that I am doing it for. We have about 5 loads a week and each machine is like $3 to run at the laundromat and each dryer is about $1 each.

I dropped off 3 loads today (20lbs) and it came out to $19. Basically for an extra $5, someone washes and folds it for you. I'm kinda ehh about someone washing and folding my underwear though.

Does anyone else do wash n fold or do your own laundry at laundromat? When I can, I bring to my parents to do a load or 2 but it takes like an hour a load w these new high efficiency energy saver machines!

I've done it and most times it was good - however - I didn't always get all of my clothing back

To be technical, it was 20lbs and it was 17.80 but with that, it would have only been 2 loads. I separated them into 3, so I had to pay $1.50 for the 3rd washer. So all together including drying was 19.30 since I wanted 3 sep loads


Towels and sheets I will continue to wash at my parents or do them at the laundromat on my own.


hmmm. i never dropped it off and specified the # of loads.

am i doing something wrong? did you separate colors and whites? ....just trying to understand


Not at my laundromat. They go by the pounds and seperate themselves.


They charge and divide it up by lbs. at ours, too.

They divide it up but I'm anal. I separated into dark, white and dh work clothes bc they are dirty and don't go near mine. They would have divided it into dark/white if I didn't but I'm just annoying like that

DH used to do his laundry this way til i pointed out how many of his clothes they were shrinking, lol ... he's big & tall and his shirts would wind up just past his belly button ... we're saving money on buying new clothes for him by doing it ourselves ... and we get bonding time at the laundromat, lol ...

I like doing my laundry...I love folding it when it comes out of the dryer and its all nice and warm.

If DH didn't have me he'd use a wash n fold service. He doesn't do laundry or fold at all.

That's all I did in college. There was no freaking way I was sitting in a laundromat for hours at a time and my building didn't have a washer and dryer.

It was like $0.25/ a pound... worth every penny!!
