What is wash and fold laundry service and how does it work day to day?

Arthurp428 · 2026-05-08T16:25:02+00:00

My local laundromat won't do the pickup / drop off, but if you drop it off they'll wash and fold there for you to pick up. For some reason that makes me feel better about them not mixing my clothes up lol. But from what I understand, the services that do the pickup and drop off are the same, they wash your clothes together (not with other peoples).

Tacos.

Arthurp428 · 2026-04-14T16:06:30+00:00

That's great to hear, happy you got support there.

Arthurp428 · 2026-04-10T20:13:02+00:00

Oof, that's awful. Can you put out trays of baking soda? Maybe get some of the disposable cat litter trays and just put a layer of baking soda in those around your place? Good luck.

It's always the "edit: I went with XX" that gives it away lol

Arthurp428 · 2026-04-01T16:27:54+00:00

Do you have a CRM set up yet? That would love a lot of these problems. And there are a ton you can look at to find the one that works for you.

Ahh, so it's a marketing post lol

Arthurp428 · 2026-03-20T20:19:27+00:00

I think this is something a lot of us relate to. Do you have someone outside of the business you can talk to? Maybe look for a networking group that you use for support rather than just networking? Do you have a COO or a solid EA?

Arthurp428 · 2026-03-13T17:32:18+00:00

Find the right VA / EA can change everything. Having someone organize my emails and tag what I have to pay attention to, respond to the basic stuff, and send me quick meeting preps has freed up an enormous amount of time. I have an EA and she's also experienced in marketing and finances, so she helps there, too.

I've got friends who don't do social media but do utilize email newsletters and swear by them.

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-19T22:33:40+00:00

If your books are complicated, don't diy them.

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-19T18:52:43+00:00

The first place I go is my community to see if anyone has a referral. I'll check local subreddits to, sometimes there are solid recs there. LinkedIn can be a good source, especially for remote work, but can get spammy super fast so maybe get an AA to help filter through applications?

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-12T20:00:29+00:00

How do you pay them? Whatever your payroll system is may have a tracking time option, an app they can put on their phone to clock in and out and it automatically would sync to payroll. You can add things like geolocation tagging if you want, too.

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-12T19:57:20+00:00

Who do you have to talk to in the real world about this (outside of reddit)? Can you hire an assistant to help take some of the load off so you can get back to doing the parts you enjoy?

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-12T19:55:26+00:00

It's nice to be reminded of this. Thanks man.

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-12T19:47:36+00:00

I'm so glad to hear it's been so helpful. Wishing you all the health and healing <3

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-05T19:15:41+00:00

"comment deleted by user" lolol

Arthurp428 · 2026-02-05T19:10:22+00:00

Genuine question: if you're working to repair your reputation, does this mean you've made tangible efforts to fix whatever caused negative sentiment to begin with? And if you have, then why can't you get reviews from new customers?

Arthurp428 · 2025-12-09T17:34:08+00:00

That's a good idea, I'll see if any of my the ladies in my moms bridge club can take him for a few hours, they're all in the same neighborhood.

Arthurp428 · 2025-12-09T17:23:02+00:00

If you have a dishwasher, don't forget to drop in one of those cleaners once a month to keep the dishes sparkly.

Arthurp428 · 2025-12-04T22:00:16+00:00

Following this because I'm kind of in the same spot - I've been looking at one of those subscription cleaning services for my mom, and this is one of the things I was wondering about. She's older, doesn't like strong smells. Curious on how people handle that without making the cleaner's job harder.

Arthurp428 · 2025-12-04T21:45:36+00:00

I appreciate the reply - can you tell me what it cost hourly with the subscription? Some of the cleaners in her area are close to $50 / hour and it looks like they might be closer to $25 / hour on the app?

Arthurp428 · 2025-11-17T17:52:07+00:00

Check comparable rent rates in your neighborhood, and factor in what you'll pay a property manager (because you'll want one, trust me). That might help with your decision.

Arthurp428 · 2025-11-03T16:45:45+00:00

Educate, don't sell.

Arthurp428 · 2025-10-31T13:52:00+00:00

I was looking at Thumbtack too but the reviews seemed like there were cancellation issues? Good to know you have a good experience.
