Laundry Solutions for Long-Term Visitors in Chicago

Chicago is a city that welcomes all kinds of long-term visitors. From students attending a semester program, to traveling nurses and corporate professionals on extended contracts, to athletes and sports teams spending a season here, people come to Chicago for weeks or even months at a time.

While the city offers endless opportunities to explore, one challenge almost every long-term visitor faces is laundry. Whether you’re living in a dorm, renting an Airbnb, or staying at an extended stay hotel, finding time and space to wash your clothes can be frustrating. For sports teams and athletes, the need is even greater: multiple uniforms, daily practice gear, and travel clothing all require constant care. That’s where Drop & Dash pickup and delivery laundry service comes in.

The Laundry Challenge of Long-Term Stays

When you’re in Chicago for an extended stay, laundry can quickly become a hassle:

  • Limited or no laundry facilities in temporary housing or extended stay hotels.
  • Overflowing laundry bags that take up valuable space in small apartments or dorms.
  • For athletes and sports teams: gear and uniforms that pile up fast, needing frequent washes to stay fresh and game-ready.

For long-term visitors, every hour saved on laundry is an hour that can be spent exploring the city, studying, working, or training.
