1. We park at your curb

The Lorry arrives at your home with 4 LG washers and dryers onboard. No need to haul anything anywhere. We run on our own generator — no power or water needed from your home.

3. We wash, dry, and finish

Everything is washed on cold using low-fragrance HE detergent. Dried on low or no heat based on fabric type. Pulled from the dryer immediately and hand-smoothed or steamed to prevent wrinkles.

2. You hand over your laundry

Bring your laundry to the door. Your launderer sorts everything using our 17-step method - by color, fabric

type, weight, and size. You don't need to pre-sort anything.

4. Everything is returned organized

Hanging items go on your own white hangers (no wire). Folded items are stacked neatly in bins, separated by family member and category, and ready to go straight into your closet or drawers.
