Why should laundry be any different?
As emerging trends in the business go, laundry pick up and delivery services are one of the fastest-growing. These days, everyone’s turning to technology to make life easier and for added convenience. Innovation in smartphone technology and app development means you can control almost every aspect of your life at the touch of a button.
Back in the day, brick-and-mortar laundromats were all the rage. They provided a relatively convenient way to do all your washing in one go. Laundry day was a thing.
But, spending a whole day doing laundry is a thing of the past. People no longer want to spend their precious days off waiting for their spin cycle to finish when they could spend time with friends and family, or do fun activities.
Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has also been a game changer and a huge catalyst in the emergence of outsourced laundry services. For most of 2020, heading to a laundromat just wasn’t an option for some, and ‘contactless’ services became increasingly important.
So, laundry pick-up and delivery services are on the up. But, why should you choose one? What are the benefits of outsourcing your laundry? Read on, and find out exactly why this new trend is so popular.
Contactless Pick-Up and Delivery
Pick-up and delivery means doing your laundry is about as convenient and straightforward as it gets. All you have to do is leave your dirty clothes outside on the doorstep and wait for a notification letting you know that your freshly laundered, folded and hung clothes have been delivered right to your front door.
Huge Timesaver
Back in the day, doing your laundry could be a whole day’s work. You had to drag your dirty clothes down to the laundromat in a laundry basket, wait for the spin cycle to finish, then wait (again) for them to dry. If you were lucky, your local laundromat might have an attendant who would call you when your clothes were ready to be collected. But all too often, you’d get back to find them in a pile on top of a machine, or worse still, on the floor.
This is all over and done with. A doorstep laundry service frees up time in your busy schedule to take care of chores, see friends and family, or just relax. Laundry day can now be whenever you need it to be, rather than having to fit it into your packed day-to-day.
What should you look for in a laundry pick-up and delivery service?
Options - you might want a regular service, weekly or bi-weekly, or you might just need a one-time wash. A good doorstep laundry service should be flexible and accommodating.
Sorting - the best pick-up and delivery laundry services will sort your lights from your darks, taking the load off for you.
Dry cleaning - if you’ve got delicates, dress shirts, or stubborn stains, you might also need dry cleaning service. Making sure your standard laundry service includes this is one less thing you have to think about.
