Self-Serve Laundromat: Best for Control and Late Nights

Our self-serve laundromat is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's the best fit if you:

  • Want the lowest cost and don't mind doing the work.
  • Have bulky items like comforters that won't fit in your home machine.
  • Need laundry done right now, at any hour.
  • Prefer to handle delicate or special items yourself.

Wash & Fold Drop-Off: Best Value for Your Time

With wash & fold, you drop off your laundry and we wash, dry and fold it for $1.65/lb (20 lb minimum). It's the best fit if you:

  • Live or work near Victoria Park Ave and Sheppard/Finch.
  • Want your time back but don't need delivery.
  • Have a regular weekly amount of 20 lb or more.

A 20 lb bag costs $33.00.

Pickup & Delivery: Best for Maximum Convenience

With pickup & delivery, we collect your laundry and bring it back clean and folded for $1.95/lb (35 lb minimum). It's the best fit if you:

  • Don't have a car, or don't want to haul heavy bags.
  • Have a big household with lots of laundry.
  • Live anywhere in our service areas: North York, East York, Scarborough, Toronto, Markham, Vaughan, Woodbridge, Maple, Etobicoke or Pickering.

A 35 lb order costs $68.25.

And for Businesses?

If you run a gym, spa, salon, restaurant, clinic, daycare or short-term rental, our commercial laundry service offers a recurring pickup schedule and custom per-pound pricing. More than 200 GTA businesses already use it.
