How Does Wash and Fold Service Work?

Doing laundry takes time, and most of us would rather spend that time doing something else. That’s why we created Wash and Fold service at The Laundry Hub SF, to help busy people in San Francisco stay fresh and stress-free. Here's everything you need to know.

What Is Wash and Fold?

Wash and Fold (aka Fluff and Fold) is a professional laundry service where you drop off your dirty clothes and we take care of the rest — washing, drying, and folding them for you. We make laundry day easy.


How Does Wash and Fold Service Work?

  1. Drop Off or Pickup
    Bring your laundry to our store or schedule a pickup (call for availability). No need to sort just bag it up.

  2. We Sort It
    We separate items by color and fabric: lights, darks, delicates, towels, and more.

  3. Stain Treatment

    We inspect each load for stains and treat them before the wash. Just let us know if there's something specific you want handled.

  4. Wash & Dry
    We use commercial machines and eco-friendly or hypoallergenic detergent. Delicates are dried gently or air-dried.

  5. Folded or Hung

    Your laundry is folded neatly and packed in fresh bags. Items like button-downs or slacks can be hung if you’d like.

  6. Pick Up or Delivery

    Your laundry will be ready in 48 hours. We’ll text you when it’s done.


What’s the Difference Between Wash and Fold vs. Dry Cleaning?

Wash and Fold uses water and detergent for everyday clothing.
Dry cleaning uses solvent-based cleaning for delicate items like suits or dresses.
We handle washable garments only perfect for daily wear.
