We live in a digital world obsessed with efficiency and on-demand satisfaction, yet laundry has largely remained the same mundane, time-consuming house chore.
Not anymore.
Through ProLaundry.com, entrepreneur Lou Smith is here to put a modern spin on laundry day.
By The Numbers: America’s Most Tedious Household Chore
Americans commonly list laundry among their least favorite household chores. And for younger generations, it often tops the list. According to OnePoll, which surveyed 2,000 Millennials and Gen-Zers in 2022, two-thirds of young adults “dread” doing laundry.
It’s easy to understand why. There’s nothing quite like coming home after a long day of work ready to relax, only to find a mountain of laundry piling higher and higher.
And while it’s no fun handling dirty laundry, the most costly aspects are time and money.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American woman spends 17 minutes per day on laundry. That adds up to more than eight hours per month.
And according to Procter & Gamble Co., the average American family washes 300-390 laundry loads per year, which means they’re spending between $180-$600 per year on detergent.
As a father of four, Smith, 43, is all too familiar with these burdens of laundry. That’s why he decided to take laundry digital in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Now, laundry day is little more than walking to the front door.
How ProLaundry Is Taking Laundry Digital
Here’s how Smith’s new wash and fold, pickup and delivery service works…
First, users can go to ProLaundry.com to schedule a laundry pickup, then simply gather laundry in a bag and place it at the door.
Thanks to digital integrations, a screened, vetted, and I.D.-verified representative will collect the laundry within 30 minutes, or at the scheduled pickup time.
Laundry is taken to a ProLaundry facility where it will be washed using the customer’s choice of detergent, then dried and professionally folded.
The fresh, folded laundry is then returned to the user’s door the next day. All that’s left to do is put the laundry away.
ProLaundry.com Pricing
ProLaundry offers its wash, dry, and fold service for just $1.70 per pound. And users who choose recurring orders for laundry service once, twice, or four times a month will save 10%.
Both pickup and delivery are free for those within 10 driven miles of any Pro Laundry facility.
According to Smith, ProLaundry.com users are most fond of the speed, price, and convenience.
Others appreciate that ProLaundry owns and operates its own professional laundry facilities.
For Smith, the best part is saying goodbye to what he calls “Laundry Day Saturday,” his former family tradition of dedicating an entire day to his least favorite chore.
