7 Tips to Optimize Your Laundry Pickup and Delivery Experience
So you've decided you'd rather take back your time than be stuck inside somewhere doing laundry all day. You've come to the right place!
The Laundry Room is your source for wash and fold expertise, fresh folded results, and service delivered right to you door throughout Rockingham County. But if you are feeling a little bewildered by the thought of sending your laundry away (hey, we get it, from your outerwear to your underwear, your clothes are an extension of your personality to be cared for with utmost detail), then follow this guide on getting the most out of using our laundry pickup and delivery services.
Tip 1: Create an Account
Create a laundry services account. It's simple and it's free to create. Be prepared to enter in your name, address, and any notes regarding your preferences. Seriously, we will honor your special requests to the best of our ability. Examples of requests we will happily fulfill are washer and dryer temperature settings, hanging drying some items, and extra washes.
Tip 2: Save on Recurring Services
Ask yourself how often you'll need our services. If you think you'll use our laundry pickup services every week, consider signing up for recurring services. Let's do some math. Let's assume you need to do a load of laundry for yourself every week and that load averages about 25 pounds. You could save around $260 per year* if you sign up for weekly services with us because our recurring services fees are lower than our as needed fees.
Tip 3: Treat Stains at Home
We'll happily treat stains and sort to your liking, however, you may want to treat stains as soon as you place your items in the hamper. Treating stains as soon as possible at home allow more time for the enzymes to break down the stains, which often lead to better results at wash time.
Tip 4: Sort Special Items Separately
Also, if you have special preferences for part of your order, you may want to bag them separately from the rest of the laundry and let us know in your special instructions when scheduling online which bag gets which treatment.
Tip 5: Place Laundry on Your Doorstep
Gather all your dirty clothes, sheets, and towels and put them in a container. The vessel doesn’t matter! Laundry baskets, garbage bags, canvas totes, whatever – we’ll take it. Kitchen trash bags work the best. We check pockets prior to doing your laundry, but it might be a good idea to make sure you have your house keys. Put your bags outside, and we’ll come pick it up and return it the next day. It’s that easy! Do you prefer we collect your laundry from a back porch, a garage, or your car at work? (Yes, we do that!) Just indicate those preferences when scheduling your pickup.
Tip 6: Relax, Do Something Enjoyable
Whew! Now that you created extra time for yourself, you can spend it doing something fun around town. For some ideas, check out our service areas. We serve many areas near you and offer some ideas for where to eat dinner or visit a museum while we wash, dry, and fold.
Tip 7: Receive and Put Away
Your laundry will be returned to you fresh, clean, and folded. All you'll have to do is put it away. And if you don't plan to be home, just let us know when scheduling your order where our driver can leave your laundry.
