About The Laundry Basket

For over 40 years, The Laundry Basket has been a trusted, family-owned and operated laundromat serving the Pittsburgh community. Established in 1980, this award-winning business was built on a commitment to providing superior service with a personal touch. Unlike services that use third-party handlers, every order is managed in-house by a dedicated team that prioritizes quality and care. This long-standing dedication to excellence ensures a reliable, friendly, and top-tier laundry experience every time. Choosing The Laundry Basket means choosing a local business that has spent decades earning the trust of its neighbors through consistent, high-quality service.

The Laundry Basket offers a comprehensive range of laundry solutions tailored to fit any need. For those who prefer a hands-on approach, the self-service laundromats feature high-speed, coin-operated machines that can get a load washed and dried in about an hour, with friendly attendants, ATMs, and TVs onsite for convenience. For a hassle-free experience, the drop-off wash and fold service is priced at a competitive $2.50 per pound, with a typical turnaround of 24 hours or less. The same great price applies to the contactless pickup and delivery service (25 lb minimum). The Laundry Basket also provides professional dry cleaning for specialty items and custom laundry plans for commercial clients, from gyms to Airbnbs. Special requests like fragrance-free detergents are welcome, ensuring your laundry is done just the way you like it. Be sure to ask about the current promotion for 10% off your order.
