Wash and Fold in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights
Fold NY makes wash and fold in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights a hands-off routine. Book a pickup, hand your bag to one of our drivers, and get it back clean and folded, usually the next day. Your clothes are washed at our own laundromat, and pickup and delivery are free. Schedule online at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app.
Between BAM, Pratt, Fort Greene Park and the stretch of Vanderbilt Avenue, this corner of Brooklyn has plenty going on. Hauling laundry around it shouldn’t be one of those things.
Who Uses Laundry Delivery Around Here
Fort Greene and Clinton Hill are full of nineteenth-century brownstones and brick rowhouses, many of them converted into two, three or four apartments. On Clinton and Washington Avenues you’ll find grand old mansions and prewar apartment buildings; on side streets like South Oxford, South Portland, Cumberland and Adelphi, it’s mostly rowhouses with stoops. Prospect Heights adds more brownstones on blocks like Prospect Place, Park Place and Sterling Place, plus a wave of newer apartment buildings around Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue near Barclays Center.
Across all three, in-unit washers are hit or miss. Older buildings often don’t allow them, shared machines get claimed fast, and a walk to the laundromat with a week’s worth of towels is a lot less fun in August or January.
Our customers here include Pratt students and faculty with little time and no machine, creative professionals and remote workers who’d rather not lose an afternoon, healthcare workers on long shifts, families with kids at the neighborhood schools, and people who want Saturday for the farmers market at Grand Army Plaza or a walk in Fort Greene Park instead of a spin cycle.
Why Fold NY
We wash it ourselves
All wash and fold orders are washed, dried and folded at our walk-in laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens. Nothing is outsourced, and the team at the store is the team handling your laundry.
We drive it ourselves
Fold NY runs its own drivers for every pickup and drop-off. Your bag doesn’t change hands between contractors on the way.
Ozone sanitizing in every load
We add ozone to every wash. It’s a natural sanitizer that helps eliminate bacteria, odors and allergens, so we can clean thoroughly with fewer harsh chemicals. The result is a low-chemical wash that’s gentler on your clothes and linens.
Custom care without extra effort
Ask for hypoallergenic or fragrance-free detergent, cold wash or hang-dry. Those preferences live in your account and apply to every future order.
Bulky bedding handled
Large 80 lb commercial washers mean your comforter or duvet gets a real wash with room to move.
Proudly independent
Fold NY is a Black-owned, women-owned laundromat and laundry service, rooted in a real neighborhood storefront.
