How to place a laundry pickup and delivery order with Drop and Dash Laundry:
Place your order by customizing it with your personal laundry preferences and scheduling your pickup and delivery date and time.

Your clothes are inspected prior to washing, ensuring that whites and darks are separated, and everything is washed to your preferences. On the selected delivery date and time, your driver will deliver your clean laundry to your designated drop off address. You will receive notifications as your order is on the way, and you can track your delivery through the Drop and Dash app or website.
Your driver will send a photo of your delivered clean laundry upon arrival.
