Wash and Fold in Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens
Fold NY brings wash and fold in Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens right to your stoop. Our drivers collect your laundry, we clean and fold it at our own laundromat, and it’s back at your door, usually the next day. Pickup and delivery are free, and scheduling takes a minute at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app.
These three neighborhoods share Court Street and Smith Street, a love of good coffee and a housing stock that was never designed with washing machines in mind. If your laundry routine involves a heavy bag and a trip down Atlantic Avenue, there’s an easier way.
Rowhouse Brooklyn and the Laundry Problem
Cobble Hill is mostly nineteenth-century brick and brownstone rowhouses on small, quiet blocks like Warren Place, Verandah Place and the side streets off Clinton and Henry. Carroll Gardens is known for something unusual in the city: deep front gardens set in front of its brownstones, especially along Carroll, President and First Place through Fourth Place. Boerum Hill, between Smith Street and Fourth Avenue, mixes Greek Revival and Italianate rowhouses on Pacific, Dean and Bergen with small apartment buildings above the shops on Atlantic Avenue.
It’s a gorgeous place to live and an awkward place to do laundry. A lot of these houses have been split into floor-through apartments, and most of them don’t have a hookup for a washer. Even where there’s a basement machine, it’s usually shared with the whole building. The apartments over storefronts on Court and Smith tend to have even less space, and stairs that make carrying a full bag a real workout.
That’s why our pickups here skew toward families with young kids and a never-ending pile of tiny clothes, couples where both partners work long hours, and people who simply want their weekends for Carroll Park, the Smith Street restaurants or a long walk to the waterfront instead of the laundromat.
Why People Here Book Fold NY
Washed at our own laundromat
Every wash and fold order goes to our walk-in store at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens, and gets cleaned there by our team. We don’t hand delivery orders to a third-party wash plant. You know exactly where your clothes are.
Driven by our own people
Fold NY uses its own drivers for every pickup and delivery. One company handles your bag the whole way, which is how it should be when it’s your kids’ school uniforms or your favorite sweater.
An ozone wash for every load
Ozone is a natural sanitizer that helps break down bacteria, odors and allergens. Because it does a lot of the heavy lifting, we can use fewer harsh chemicals, a low-chemical method that’s kinder to fabric. That matters for baby clothes, crib sheets and anyone with sensitive skin.
Set it up the way you like
Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free detergents are available, along with cold wash and hang-dry. Save your choices in your account and they carry over to every order automatically.
Room for the big stuff
Our 80 lb commercial washers take comforters, duvets and bulky bedding that would overload a home machine or a small laundromat washer.
Local and independent
Fold NY is a Black-owned and women-owned business running a real neighborhood laundromat with self-service machines and drop-off service.
