Looking for fast, reliable laundry pickup and delivery in Chicago? Drop & Dash picks up your laundry, washes, dries, folds, and delivers it. If you schedule before 2PM, we offer same day turnaround, seven days a week.

Whether your laundry basket is overflowing or your only clean shirt is the one you wore to paint last weekend, we’ve got you covered. Our professional team handles everything so you can skip the chore and get your time back. That’s why busy Chicagoans trust Drop & Dash to take laundry off their plate.

How Does Laundry Pickup and Delivery Work?

Whether you live in a single-family home, a downtown high-rise, or a student apartment, laundry pickup and delivery follows a simple four-step process. Here’s how our on-demand laundry service works.

1. Schedule a Pickup

You can schedule your laundry pickup online or on our app in just a few clicks. Choose a pickup and drop off times that work for you, we’re available 5AM to 10PM seven-days a week. There’s no subscriptions and no long-term commitments. Customize your preferences and wash settings, and let us take care of everything else.

2. We Pick Up Your Laundry

Place your laundry in any clean bag, such as a disposable trash bag or a reusable laundry tote, and leave it by your front door or another designated spot. Our driver will pick it up at your scheduled time and you’ll receive text updates so you always know when we’re arriving. 

If you prefer to use your own detergent, fabric softener, or dryer sheets, just include them with your laundry. We will return any unused products along with your clean clothes. If you use a reusable tote, we will return that as well. 

We pick up from:

  • Homes and apartment buildings
  • Hotels and short-term rentals
  • Condos and multi-unit residences
  • Offices and workplaces
  • College dorms and student housing

Even travelers use our service to stay fresh on the go.

3. We Wash, Dry, and Fold

Your laundry is never outsourced. Everything is handled in our own facilities by professionals you can trust. Our in-house team washes, dries, and folds each load with care, based on your preferences. 

You can request fragrance-free detergent, chose a wash temperature, ask us to hang dry your clothes, keep socks and underwear in their own bag, or make sure your laundry smells “good and clean” by using your personal fabric softener. Some customers include their own Gain beads, request pre-treatment for tough stains, or prefer we don’t fold their socks. We’ve seen just about everything, so feel free to include any special instructions or notes for your order.

4. We Deliver It Back to You

Once your laundry is cleaned and folded, we bring it back to your door. Schedule your pickup before 2PM for same day turnaround, or we’ll drop off at a later time if that’s more convenient. Each order is folded neatly, wrapped, and sorted so you can put it away easily.

Why Use a Laundry Pickup and Delivery Service?

Everyone has laundry. Not everyone has time to keep up with it. A pickup service doesn’t just save time. It can change how you manage your week.

Save Hours Every Week

With Drop & Dash, you get those hours back. Schedule a pickup and we’ll take care of the rest. Whether it’s a single load or an entire week’s worth, we wash, dry, fold, and return your clothes fast.

Handle Laundry Emergencies with Ease

A broken machine doesn’t have to throw off your entire week. Whether your washer stopped mid-cycle or you’re stuck with a growing pile of laundry and no time to deal with it, Drop & Dash can help you get back on track. We’ve stepped in for families waiting on appliance repairs, apartment residents dealing with limited machines, and travelers who needed clean clothes fast.

Instead of scrambling for a backup plan or rushing to a crowded laundromat, just schedule a pickup. We’ll handle everything and return your clothes fresh and folded.

If your washer or dryer is broken, we can step in while you wait for repairs.

Handling Bulky Items Is No Longer a Struggle

Dragging comforters, blankets, or large bags of towels to the laundromat is no one’s idea of fun, especially when they don’t fit in your machine at home. With our pickup and delivery laundry service, you don’t have to lift a finger. We handle the heavy loads for you, including bulky bedding and oversized laundry.

What to Look for in a Laundry Delivery Service

Not all pickup and delivery laundry services are the same. Here’s what to watch for when choosing one.

Transparent Pricing

You should know exactly what you’ll pay. At Drop & Dash, we keep pricing simple and clear. We charge $1.95 per pound + a $4.95 delivery fee, with a 20 pound minimum (about 2 loads of laundry). There is no extra charge for same day service. Comforters and pillows are charged at different rates. First time customers get $20 off their first pickup with code 20OFF. 

In-House Processing

Some national companies outsource your laundry or even send it to be washed in someone else’s home machine. That can lead to inconsistent results and questionable hygiene. At Drop & Dash, every order is handled by our trained professionals using commercial-grade equipment. Your clothes get the expert care they deserve, with consistent quality you can rely on.

Flexible Scheduling

When choosing a laundry pickup and delivery service, scheduling flexibility is key. Drop & Dash stands out with the most generous pickup and delivery windows in Chicago, offering pickup times from 5AM to 10PM, seven days a week. Whether you’re an early riser looking to get laundry out the door before your commute or need a late-evening pickup after a long day, Drop & Dash is here for you. 

Speed, Reliability and Customer Service

If you need your laundry fast, choose a company that can meet your timeline. We offer quick turnaround, real-time order tracking and a live customer service team you can reach easily. You can track your order every step of the way, and if you ever have a question, contact us, we’re here and ready to help seven days a week.

Local Experience

National brands do not know Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs like we do. We’re locally owned, and that means we understand the people, pace, and personality of this city. From high-rises in Lincoln Park to family homes in Naperville and apartments in Wrigleyville, we’ve built our service around the real needs of Chicagoland residents.
