Wash and Fold Manhattan Can Count On, Picked Up and Delivered by Our Own Drivers
Looking for wash and fold Manhattan service that doesn’t eat your weekend? Fold NY picks up your laundry at your door, washes it, folds it and brings it back, usually the next day. Pickup and delivery are free, and you can book in a couple of minutes at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app.
We want to be upfront about how it works, because it’s the reason the quality is consistent. Fold NY is a real, walk-in laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens. Every Manhattan order is driven to that laundromat by our own drivers, washed there by our own team, and driven back to you. We don’t hand your clothes off to a third-party plant or a gig courier, and we never outsource the washing. One business, one store, one team that’s responsible for your bag from pickup to drop-off.
Why Manhattan Apartments Need a Better Laundry Plan
Laundry is one of those Manhattan chores that takes far more time than it should. A lot of apartments, especially walk-ups and older prewar buildings, have no washer or dryer in the unit. If your building has a laundry room, it’s often in the basement, shared by dozens of neighbors, and the machines are always busy on Sunday. If it doesn’t, you’re carrying a heavy bag down the stairs and down the block, then sitting around waiting for a dryer.
Wash and fold pickup fixes the whole loop. You put the bag out, we take it from there, and it comes back clean, dried and folded. For people working long days in Midtown, families juggling school and work, or anyone who simply has better things to do on a Saturday, that’s hours back every week.
Why Manhattan Customers Choose Fold NY
Washed in our own laundromat, never outsourced
A lot of app-based laundry services are middlemen. They take your order and pass it to whichever facility has capacity. Fold NY works differently: we own the laundromat, we employ the drivers, and your clothes are washed in our Ridgewood store. If something needs attention, you’re dealing with the people who actually handled your laundry.
Ozone in every load
Every load we wash goes through ozone, a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens. Because ozone does a lot of the cleaning work, we rely on fewer harsh chemicals, which is gentler on fabric and helps your clothes last longer. It’s a low-chemical approach, and you can read more about it in our guide to ozone wash laundry delivery.
Your preferences, saved
Need hypoallergenic or fragrance-free detergent? Want delicates hung to dry or everything washed cold? Set it once and your preferences are saved in your account, so every pickup is handled the same way without you having to repeat yourself.
Big machines for bulky bedding
Comforters and duvets rarely fit in an apartment building’s machines. Our laundromat has large 80 lb commercial washers that handle bulky bedding properly, so your king-size comforter gets a real wash instead of being crammed into a small drum.
Black-owned and women-owned
Fold NY is a Black-owned, women-owned New York business. When you book with us, you’re supporting a local laundromat, not a faceless platform.
Laundry Services We Bring to Manhattan

Neighborhoods We Serve Across Manhattan
Fold NY delivers across Manhattan, from downtown lofts to Upper Manhattan apartments. A few of the areas we hear from most:
Lower East Side and East Village
Tenement walk-ups, small studios and shared apartments with no room for a washer make this one of the most laundry-starved parts of the city. See our page on laundry service in the Lower East Side and East Village for streets, ZIP codes and local details.
Upper East Side and Upper West Side
From Yorkville walk-ups to prewar co-ops on West End Avenue, uptown households use our service to skip the basement laundry room. Find out more on our Upper East Side and Upper West Side laundry service page.
SoHo and Tribeca
Loft living downtown often means beautiful space and no laundry setup. We pick up throughout SoHo and Tribeca, and our green dry cleaning is a good fit for the tailored and delicate pieces that downtown wardrobes tend to collect. Boutiques, studios and shoots in the area can also ask about commercial schedules.
Midtown
Midtown is full of high-rise rentals in Hell’s Kitchen, Murray Hill and around Midtown East, plus hotels that go through linens quickly. Residents use next-day wash and fold to stay ahead of the week; businesses use custom commercial pickups.
We also pick up in Chelsea, the West Village, the Financial District, Harlem and neighborhoods in between. If you’re anywhere in Manhattan, enter your address when booking to see your options.

If you ever find yourself in Ridgewood, our store is open every day from 6AM to 10PM. It’s a full self-service laundromat with washers and dryers, plus drop-off wash and fold at the counter. The M train runs between Delancey St–Essex St and Ridgewood, so it’s an easy trip from downtown.
