Wash and Fold Queens: Picked Up at Your Door
Fold NY is a wash and fold Queens service run out of a real, working laundromat on Metropolitan Avenue in Ridgewood. We pick up your laundry, wash it in our own store, fold it neatly and bring it back the next day. Pickup and delivery are free, and our own drivers handle every bag from start to finish. If you live in Queens and you are tired of hauling a cart to the laundromat or waiting on a shared basement machine, this page explains how our service works across the borough.
Queens is huge and every neighborhood has its own rhythm. Some blocks are lined with prewar walk-ups where nobody has a washer. Others are rows of two-family houses where a family of five generates a mountain of laundry every week. Newer towers have laundry rooms that are always busy on Sunday night. Whatever your situation, the fix is the same: schedule a pickup, hand off the bag and get your evenings back.
Why Queens Households Choose Fold NY
A lot of laundry apps are just a booking screen. Behind it, your clothes get passed to whatever wholesale plant has capacity that day. We work differently, and it shows in the results.
- Washed in our own Ridgewood laundromat. Every delivery order is washed and folded at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave. We never outsource wash and fold.
- Our own drivers. The person picking up your bag works for Fold NY, not a gig app.
- Ozone in every load. Ozone is a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens. It lets us use fewer harsh chemicals, which is gentler on fabric and on skin.
- Your preferences, saved. Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergent, cold wash and hang-dry are all available, and they are saved in your account so you only set them once.
- Black-owned and women-owned. We are a local Queens business, not a national chain.
Neighborhoods We Serve Across Queens
Our pickup and delivery covers Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Here is how we serve some of the Queens neighborhoods we hear from most.
Ridgewood
Ridgewood is home base. Our laundromat sits at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in ZIP 11385, open daily from 6AM to 10PM with self-service washers and dryers plus drop-off wash and fold. Neighbors can walk in, or skip the trip and book delivery. Read more on our Ridgewood laundry service page.
Long Island City
LIC’s high-rise apartments and busy schedules make pickup and delivery a natural fit. Lobby handoffs and doorman buildings are easy for our drivers. See our Long Island City laundry service page for details.
Astoria
From the walk-ups off 30th Avenue to the buildings near Ditmars Boulevard, plenty of Astoria apartments have no washer at all. Our wash and fold in Astoria page covers pickup in 11102, 11103, 11105 and 11106.
Maspeth
Maspeth sits right next to Ridgewood, so residents can either drop off at our store or have us come to them. Our Maspeth laundry pickup and delivery page explains both options.
Glendale
Glendale borders Ridgewood to the east, and it shares the 11385 ZIP code with us. Find out more on our wash and fold in Glendale page.
Middle Village
Metropolitan Avenue runs straight from Middle Village to our front door. Families in 11379 can drop off or book delivery. Visit our Middle Village laundry service page.
Sunnyside and Woodside
We also pick up in Sunnyside (11104) and Woodside (11377), two neighborhoods full of apartment buildings and co-ops along the 7 train where in-unit laundry is the exception, not the rule. Book online and we will handle it the same way we do everywhere else in Queens.
