Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operating hours for Laundry Factory?

Laundry Factory is conveniently open every day from 7 am to 8 pm. Please be sure to start your last load by 7 pm to allow enough time for drying before close.

What services does Laundry Factory provide?

Laundry Factory offers a comprehensive range of services, including a self-service laundromat with various machine sizes, a full-service wash, dry, and fold option, and professional dry cleaning. They also provide expert ironing, pressing, and services for commercial accounts.

Can Laundry Factory handle special items like large bedding or delicates?

Yes, absolutely. Laundry Factory is equipped to professionally launder or dry clean large household items like comforters, blankets, and pillows. They also provide specialized cleaning and repair for delicates such as leather, suede, and fur, which requires a $35 deposit.

What payment options are available?

For customer convenience, Laundry Factory accepts multiple payment methods. Apple Pay is available at the register for services, though not on the machines themselves. Half of the washers and dryers are equipped with credit/debit card readers, and an ATM and coin change machine are also available on-site.

I see a $10 pending charge on my card. What is this for?

When using a credit or debit card on the machines, your bank may place a temporary $10 pending fee on your account. This is a standard pre-authorization, not the final charge. The hold will be removed, usually by the next business day, and you will only be charged for the actual amount of the machine cycles used.

Is next-day dry cleaning available?

In many cases, yes. Next-day service is often possible for dry cleaning, particularly for single navy or black suits. To ensure availability, it is always recommended to call ahead and confirm with the staff before dropping off your items.

Do you offer clothing alterations?

Yes, alteration services are offered through the sister store, Shadyside Valet. This service is available on Tuesdays, ensuring your garments receive expert care and attention.
