A Weekly Laundry Service in NYC That Runs on Autopilot
Laundry is the chore that never ends. You finish the last load on Sunday night and by Wednesday the hamper is full again. A weekly laundry service in NYC breaks that cycle: you set a recurring pickup once, leave your bag out on the same day every week, and clean, folded clothes come back without you ever booking again. Fold NY makes it easy to schedule repeat pickups in our app, with free pickup and delivery by our own drivers across Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
There’s no special plan to sign up for and no separate weekly rate to decode. You pay the same simple per-pound price as any other order, and your preferences carry over from one week to the next.
Why Weekly Beats “Whenever I Get to It”
Most New Yorkers don’t have a washer in their apartment. Laundry means hauling a bag down the stairs, waiting for a free machine in the basement or at the corner laundromat, and losing a chunk of your weekend. When you only send laundry out once in a while, the pile gets huge, you run out of clean socks, and each order turns into a project.
A recurring weekly pickup changes the math:
- Smaller, predictable loads. A week’s worth of clothes is easier to sort, faster to wash and simpler to put away.
- No decisions to make. The pickup is already on the calendar, so laundry stops being a to-do item.
- You never run out. Work clothes, gym gear and towels are back before you need them.
- Your weekends come back. The hours you used to spend at a laundromat are yours again.
Who Uses Weekly Laundry Pickup
Busy professionals
If you’re commuting into Midtown or the Financial District every day, the last thing you want is to spend Saturday morning at a laundromat. A standing weekly pickup means your work shirts and weekday clothes are always taken care of.
Families
Kids generate laundry faster than anyone can keep up with. Families in Park Slope, Forest Hills and Jackson Heights use weekly pickups so the household’s clothes, towels and sheets go out in one bag and come back folded.
Roommates and couples
Shared apartments in Bushwick, Ridgewood and Astoria rarely have in-unit machines. A recurring pickup takes the fight over whose turn it is off the table.
Anyone who works out a lot
Gym clothes don’t improve with age. A weekly cycle gets sweaty gear washed before it starts to smell, and our ozone wash helps remove odors that regular detergent can leave behind.
How Recurring Pickups Work in the Fold NY App
The Fold NY app lets you schedule a single pickup or set up repeat pickups, and you can track every order from pickup to delivery. Here’s what weekly service looks like:
- 1. Set your schedule. Book online at foldny.com or in the Fold NY app and choose a repeat pickup on the day that works for you.
- 2. Leave your bag out. Our drivers pick it up and bring it to our Ridgewood laundromat, where it’s washed with ozone and your saved preferences.
- 3. Get it back folded. Standard turnaround is next day. Track the order in the app, then do it all again next week without lifting a finger.
Your Preferences, Saved Week After Week
One of the best parts of a recurring service is not having to repeat yourself. Tell us once how you like things handled and we save it to your account:
- Detergent: hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergent is available if anyone in your home has sensitive skin or just prefers no scent.
- Water temperature: cold wash for pieces that fade or shrink.
- Drying: hang-dry for activewear, knits and anything you don’t want in a hot dryer.
Every order after that follows the same notes, whether it’s your third week or your fiftieth.
Why Fold NY for Weekly Laundry
Washed in our own laundromat
Delivery orders are washed in our own laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens, never outsourced. That consistency is what makes a weekly service work: the same place, the same process and the same standards every time.
Ozone in every load
Every load goes through ozone, a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens with fewer harsh chemicals. It’s also gentler on fabric, which adds up when your clothes are washed every single week. Learn more about our ozone wash.
Our own drivers
Pickup and delivery are handled by Fold NY drivers, not a rotating cast of app couriers. Your laundry goes from your door to our machines and back.
A real neighborhood business
We’re a walk-in laundromat with self-service machines and drop-off service, open daily from 6AM to 10PM. Fold NY is Black-owned and women-owned.
Weekly Laundry Service Pricing
Weekly customers pay the same rates as everyone else. Our next-day wash and fold is $1.75/lb, and pickup and delivery are included. If one week you need it back faster, same-day service is $3.95/lb in selected ZIP codes, with pickup from 9AM to 12PM and return from 7PM to 9PM; see our same-day laundry page. Your first delivery order is automatically 20% off. Full details are on our prices page.
Need laundry on a recurring schedule for a business instead of a household? Salons, gyms, restaurants and property managers can set up a commercial laundry account with custom pricing and custom pickup schedules.
Add Dry Cleaning and Bedding When You Need It
Your weekly bag doesn’t have to be the only thing that goes out. Comforters and duvets fit in our large 80 lb commercial machines, so you can send bedding along every few months. For suits, dresses and anything labeled dry clean only, our green dry cleaning uses perc-free, eco-friendly solvents, with each piece inspected and hand-finished and a typical 2-day turnaround.
