Wash and Fold in Chelsea and Flatiron With Free Pickup
Between the High Line, the galleries and a full workday, nobody in Chelsea wants to spend Sunday watching a dryer spin. Fold NY offers wash and fold Chelsea and Flatiron pickup that takes laundry off your list: our drivers collect it, we wash and fold it, and it’s back at your door, usually the next day. Pickup and delivery cost nothing extra, and you can book online at foldny.com or through the Fold NY app.
We’d rather you know the whole route up front. Fold NY is an actual laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens. When you book from West 23rd Street or Madison Square, our own drivers carry your bag to that store, our team washes it there, and the same drivers bring it home. The work stays with us from start to finish.
Lofts, Walk-Ups and Prewar Rentals Without a Washer
Chelsea’s housing is a mix of everything: 19th-century rowhouses on the side streets between Eighth and Tenth Avenue, five-story walk-ups over storefronts, big prewar complexes like London Terrace, the Penn South co-ops, and newer glass rentals along the High Line. Flatiron adds converted commercial lofts around Fifth Avenue and Broadway. What many of them share is a lack of in-unit laundry. Some have a shared basement room; plenty have nothing.
That leaves a lot of neighbors hauling bags along Ninth Avenue or squeezing laundry in around work. Flatiron in particular is full of people who work long office days near Madison Square Park and live a few blocks away. Pickup and delivery turns a two- or three-hour errand into setting a bag out and getting it back folded.
What Sets Fold NY Apart
We own the store and employ the drivers
A lot of laundry delivery brands are really just software. They accept your order, then route it to a plant with spare capacity. Fold NY is the plant, the store and the delivery team all at once. Your clothes stay in our hands the entire time, and the washing is never outsourced.
Ozone on every load
We wash every load with ozone, a natural sanitizer that helps break down bacteria, odors and allergens. Since ozone does much of the heavy lifting, we can use fewer harsh chemicals. It’s a low-chemical way to get things clean that’s also gentler on fabric, so favorite tees and workout gear hold up longer. Learn more about ozone washing.
Your instructions, remembered
Choose hypoallergenic or fragrance-free detergent, ask for cold water or hang-dry on certain items, and those choices stay saved in your account. No notes to rewrite every week.
Commercial machines for bedding
Our laundromat has large 80 lb commercial washers, which means comforters, duvets and other bulky bedding can be washed properly instead of crammed into a small drum.
Black-owned and women-owned
Fold NY is an independent, Black-owned and women-owned New York laundromat, not a national chain.
