Yes, the brand behind the detergent on your shelf can also pick up your dirty clothes and wash them—at least in select markets. The company has franchises in nearly 200 locations around the United States, with many offering free pickup and delivery for dry cleaning and wash-and-fold services.

The Tide brand has been keeping clothes clean for more than 70 years, so customers can rest easy knowing their delicates, colors, and whites are in capable hands—especially when it comes to erasing pesky stains or tackling hard-to-clean household items like comforters.

Those who opt to use Tide for dry cleaning can expect a little extra TLC, too: The company boasts a seven-point inspection process on every garment, repairing buttons and tightening threads to help keep clothes looking their best. Since Tide franchises are locally owned, services vary from store-to-store, so be sure to check with your nearby location about their drop-off and pickup options.

But you can always count on environmentally-friendly GreenEarth Cleaning practices, and Tide’s “Inner Circle” rewards club ensures that happy customers keep coming back.

Pricing depends on your delivery location.

Laundry Care was founded in 2009 by Danielle Balog, a mother who wanted to earn extra income without sacrificing time with her family.

It grew quickly once she began allowing other nearby moms the opportunity to start their own cleaning businesses under the Laundry Care name, and a decade-plus later, Balog’s homegrown company has more than 100 providers spread across 46 cities.

The company, which charges for wash-and-fold by the bag, acquired competitor Push Laundry, which remains in operation and charges by the pound. Both entities offer around-the-clock support and easy ordering both online and via mobile app.

Pickup and delivery are always free, and customers can choose from same-day, one-day, and two-day turnaround times. Busy customers can even schedule pickups while they’re away from home. And, the service is customizable: Enter your preferences at checkout, and your laundry will be returned just the way you like it.

When James Joun co-founded Rinse in 2013, he had a lifetime of experience: He’d grown up learning from his parents’ dry cleaning business in San Francisco.

Now, Rinse serves seven cities—San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, San Jose, Oakland, and Washington, D.C.—offering wash-and-fold service, hang dry, and dry cleaning. Wash-and-fold is about $2 per pound, depending on the city, with a roughly $30 minimum and about an $8 service fee.

For regular and predictably priced service, sign up for a Rinse Repeat subscription: The monthly fee is priced by the bag, not by weight, which can decrease cost per pound to just one dollar. Regardless of the service plan, Rinse always checks your pockets, separates your lights and darks, and washes your clothing separately from other customers’ items.

And, companies looking to offer an extra staff perk can get in on the action, too: Rinse for Business allows entire teams to take advantage of laundry pickup at home or at work, removing one more worry from employees’ busy lives.

Founded in 1949, Martinizing takes its name from chemist Henry Martin, who pioneered the dry cleaning method that allowed cleaners to abandon the highly flammable solvents that were once an industry standard.

Eventually, Martinizing became one of the largest dry-cleaning franchises in the United States, with more than 400 stores worldwide and an expanded menu of offerings that includes wash and fold, leather cleaning, wedding gown preservation, and more.

The longstanding company’s methods have evolved, too, growing more eco-friendly by the year.

Each store is independently owned, so prices and programs vary. Check with your local store for the most up-to-date information.

Founded in 2004, Delivery.com offers on-demand food, alcohol, and laundry by connecting consumers to local businesses.

To make a laundry order, enter your address or zip code, and select the type of service you’re seeking. For wash-and-fold orders, enter the weight of your laundry (up to 100 pounds), and for dry cleaning, indicate what items of clothing you’d like to be cleaned—or request that the merchant sort them for you.

From there, schedule a pickup time and choose a merchant from Delivery.com’s list of available local businesses: Turnaround times, minimum orders, and fees will vary. After an order is placed, customers receive an email confirming that Delivery.com has received the goods, and those who submit a phone number for text messaging service will receive a notification when the local business accepts the order.

Delivery.com doesn’t always charge a service fee—any delivery charges come directly from the merchant to support its drivers—but the website does take a small percentage of the pre-tip subtotal on each order. You can get a quote for the cost of your laundry on the website.
