On the day/evening of your scheduled pick-up, a Laundromatic NYC driver will arrive within the designated time frame.

Please prepare your items in a bag of your choice (such as garbage bags or reusable bags). Remember to separate any stained items or those requiring special care. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate individual label washing instructions.

Be sure to thoroughly check your pockets! We are not liable for lost or damaged items resulting from items left in pockets (such as chapstick, crayons, markers, pens, lipstick, gum, etc.).

After pickup, your laundry is in our capable hands!

The following day, your driver will return everything to you at the agreed-upon delivery time. You’ll receive a text notification when your clothes are en route and another once your delivery is complete.

Absolutely not! We never mix your items with anyone else’s during washing or drying. Your clothes undergo individual washing and drying processes, regardless of the load size.

Due to the volume of laundry we handle, our launderers cannot inspect every pocket. Laundromatic NYC cannot be held responsible for lost items or damages resulting from items left in pockets (such as crayons, pens, markers, chapstick, lipstick, etc.).

Certainly not! Remember, our goal is to make this process easy for you. Let us handle the sorting for you!

Do you read label instructions?

We do not have the capability to review specific washing instructions on individual labels. If you have items requiring special care, please separate them and provide instructions for our launderers in a separate bag.

You can mention it in the ‘notes’ section when placing the order.

Can I send our undergarments?

Certainly, when it comes to laundry, we’ve got you covered!

For clients who prefer discretion with their undergarments, you can place them inside a mesh laundry bag along with a note requesting that we wash, dry, and return them in the same mesh bag.

How are my whites washed?

We wash the whites with either Baking Soda and Vinegar or Clorox depending on your request.

What happens when I request Air dry?

Following the laundering of your Wash & Fold items, those designated for Air Dry will be carefully hung up to dry in a climate-controlled environment. Upon completion, they will be returned to you either neatly folded or hanging on a hanger, ensuring they maintain their freshness and quality. We can also dry them on no heat upon request.

Hang-Dry / Air-Dry – $0.50each

Where should my order be picked up or delivered?

Your designated pick-up/drop-off location should be a secure area where you feel confident leaving your personal items. While preferences vary, customers commonly opt to leave their orders at their front door, porch, or within a secure gated area. Please be aware that our drivers are unable to access private spaces such as homes, apartments, Brooklyn senior living, vehicles, or garages.

What happens if my credit card is expired or declines?

Your credit card will be charged upon completion of your order. In the event of a declined payment (due to expiration, loss, account closure, or insufficient funds), you will receive a text notification. You can update your payment information by accessing your account or contacting us directly. Once payment is successfully processed, your order will be delivered within 24 hours.
