"About 25 lbs" is roughly 2–3 home loads. Our subscription figure assumes you use the full 100 lbs each month; with less laundry, the effective price per bag is higher. Bag sizes, minimums, fees and first-order offers differ between services, so compare the total for your own amount of laundry. Where a company doesn't publish a price, we say so rather than guess.
Considering Family Laundry?

$65 per 25-lb bag plus $9.95 delivery, or a monthly subscription.
What San Francisco customers should look for
- Building access. Many SF apartments have a doorman, a front desk or a locked lobby. Ask whether the driver can leave and collect bags there. We can: add instructions in the app.
- Pickup times that fit your day. Some services pick up during work hours, others in the evening. Our San Francisco routes run in the evening.
- Parking and hills. Street parking is tight in much of the city. Ask how a service handles pickups on streets with no loading zone.
- Where your laundry is washed. It might be a plant, a laundromat or an individual washer's machine, in the city or across the Bay. Ours crosses the Bay Bridge to our own plant in Oakland.
- Turnaround versus price. Same-day costs more almost everywhere. If you can wait until the next day, you have more choice.
Where we're not the best fit
- You need it back today. We bring San Francisco orders back the next service day.
- You need dry cleaning. We only do wash & fold.
- Price is what matters most. Per pound, several services above cost less than we do.
- You want a Sunday pickup. We pick up Monday to Saturday.

How to choose
- How fast do you need it? Same-day, next-day and 3–4 days are all common.
- Do you need dry cleaning? If so, pick a service that does both, so it's one pickup.
- How much laundry a month? At a few bags a month, a subscription often beats paying per bag.
- Who washes it? Some services wash everything at one plant; others use individual washers with residential machines. Ask.
- Sensitive skin? Ask whether fragrance-free detergent is the default or an add-on.
