Wash and Fold in the West Village and Greenwich Village, Door to Door
Tree-lined blocks, brownstone stoops and some of the oldest buildings in Manhattan: the Village is a wonderful place to live and a tricky place to do laundry. Fold NY’s wash and fold West Village service makes it painless. Our own drivers pick up your bag, we wash, dry and fold everything, and we bring it back, usually the next day. There’s no charge for pickup or delivery, and you can book at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app.
So you know what you’re signing up for: Fold NY runs a single walk-in laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens. Laundry picked up on Bleecker, Perry or West 10th Street travels there with our drivers, gets washed by our team in that store, and returns with our drivers. We never pass wash and fold orders to another company.
Why the Village Sends Its Laundry Out
The West Village grew up as a jumble of 19th-century rowhouses, carriage houses and small walk-ups, and the street grid still bends in ways that confuse visitors. Most of those buildings were divided into apartments long before in-unit washers existed, and many never got a laundry room. A top-floor studio on Jane Street or a parlor-floor one-bedroom on Bank Street is lovely, but carrying a full bag down narrow stairs every week gets old fast.
Over in Greenwich Village, around Washington Square Park and Fifth Avenue, the stock leans toward prewar co-ops and NYU-area apartments. Some have shared laundry in the basement, which means waiting for a free machine. Students, faculty, couples and families all end up with the same choice: give up part of the weekend, or hand the bag to someone else. With free pickup and a flat per-pound rate, handing it off is the easier call, and Saturday stays free for brunch, a walk along Hudson River Park or simply staying in.
The Fold NY Difference
Our store, our team, our drivers
Some laundry services own nothing but an app, and your clothes go to whichever outside facility picks up the order. Fold NY is a real laundromat. The same company picks up, washes, folds and delivers, so accountability never gets lost between businesses.
Ozone in every cycle
Ozone is a natural sanitizer that helps clear out bacteria, odors and allergens. Because it’s part of every load we run, we can use fewer harsh chemicals, which is kinder to fabric and to sensitive skin. Our ozone laundry guide goes into the details.
Detergent and drying, your way
Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free detergent are available. You can ask for cold water and hang-dry too. Save those preferences in your account and they carry over to every order.
Bulky bedding is no problem
Comforters and duvets get washed in our large 80 lb commercial machines, which give heavy bedding the room it needs to come out properly clean.
Proudly independent
Fold NY is a Black-owned, women-owned laundromat based in Queens and serving the whole city.
