Compare wash-and-fold, pickup and delivery, dry cleaning, and self-service options across 13,000+ verified laundromats near you and nationwide. Typical price ranges for every service, so you know what to expect before you go.
Search for laundry services near you and you'll find two very different things under one label. Full service laundry means someone else does the work: wash-and-fold, drop-off and pick-up, and pickup and delivery all fall under that umbrella. You hand over a bag of dirty clothes, and it comes back washed, dried, and folded. Self-service means you run the machines yourself at a self-service laundromat — it costs less, but it costs you an hour or two.
The decision usually comes down to simple math. Doing it yourself runs $2.00-$4.00 per wash plus $0.25 per 8-10 minutes of drying, so a typical visit costs $3-$6. Handing it to a professional laundry service runs $1.25-$2.50 per pound, with most shops setting $15-$25 minimums. A 15-pound load — about a week of clothes for one person — costs roughly $19-$38 full service (those minimums can set the floor) versus $3-$6 doing it yourself. If your time is worth more than that gap, pay someone. If not, the machines win. Our laundromat price guide breaks the numbers down further.

| Service | Typical Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Wash & Fold | $1.25-$2.50 per lb ($15-$25 minimums) | Busy people who want clean, folded laundry without the work |

| Laundry Delivery | $1.25-$2.50 per lb plus a delivery fee | Skipping the trip entirely with pickup at your door |
| Drop-Off & Pick-Up | $1.25-$2.50 per lb (wash-and-fold rates) | Dropping a bag on your commute and grabbing it later |
| Dry Cleaning | $5-$30 per garment | Suits, dresses, and fabrics that can't go in a washer |
| Coin Laundry | $2.00-$4.00 per wash; $0.25 per 8-10 min of drying | Quick, no-frills self-service washes |
| 24-Hour Laundromats | $2.00-$4.00 per wash (standard self-service rates) | Night-shift schedules and late-night laundry emergencies |
| Cheap Laundromats | From $2.00 per wash; $3-$5 per visit | Stretching a laundry budget as far as it goes |

| Stain Removal | Varies; often per garment or added to an order | Set-in stains that home treatment didn't fix |
No time? Pay by the pound. Wash-and-fold runs $1.25-$2.50 per pound and turns a chore into a drop-off. If you can't even make the trip, laundry delivery picks up at your door for the same per-pound pricing plus a delivery fee, and drop-off and pick-up service works well if a laundromat sits on your commute.
On a budget? Run the machines yourself. Self-service and coin laundry cost $2.00-$4.00 per wash and $0.25 per 8-10 minutes of drying, so most visits land between $3 and $6. If every dollar counts, our cheap laundromats category points you to budget self-service options near you.
Some jobs need a specialist. Suits, silk, wool, and structured garments belong at dry cleaning, where prices run $5-$30 per garment. For set-in stains that home remedies didn't touch, look for stain removal, and for interview-ready shirts, ironing and pressing handles the finish work.
Two more situations worth knowing about: businesses with recurring volume — restaurants, gyms, salons, short-term rentals — should get a quote from a commercial laundry provider, since per-pound rates drop at volume. And if your schedule runs on nights and weekends, 24-hour laundromats let you wash at 2 a.m. at normal self-service prices.
Common questions about finding and paying for laundry services
Yes. Most laundromats offer wash-and-fold service, where staff wash, dry, and fold your clothes for about $1.25-$2.50 per pound, usually with a $15-$25 minimum order. You can drop the bag off yourself, and many locations also offer pickup and delivery for a small added fee.
Full-service wash-and-fold costs $1.25-$2.50 per pound with $15-$25 minimums, so a typical 15-pound load runs about $19-$38. Doing it yourself at a self-service laundromat costs $2.00-$4.00 per wash plus $0.25 per 8-10 minutes of drying — around $3-$6 per visit. Dry cleaning is priced per garment, usually $5-$30 depending on the item.
Wash-and-fold is for everyday machine-washable clothes: staff wash, dry, and fold them, charging by the pound ($1.25-$2.50/lb). Dry cleaning uses chemical solvents instead of water and is priced per garment ($5-$30), making it the right choice for suits, silk, wool, and structured pieces that a washing machine would damage.
Check the hours listed on each laundromat's page before you load the car — many close between 9 and 11 p.m., while others run around the clock. If you need to wash late at night or early in the morning, search the 24-hour laundromat category to find locations that never close.
Full service laundry means the laundromat's staff handle everything: washing, drying, folding, and sometimes pickup and delivery. It includes wash-and-fold, drop-off service, and laundry delivery, and it's typically priced at $1.25-$2.50 per pound. You drop off (or schedule a pickup) and get finished laundry back, usually within a day or two.
Often, yes. Many wash-and-fold laundromats offer same-day turnaround if you drop off in the morning, though some charge a rush fee for it. Pickup-and-delivery orders more commonly come back in 24-48 hours. Call ahead to confirm cutoff times, since same-day availability varies by location and how busy the shop is.
Yes — on-demand laundry pickup apps exist in most major cities, and they typically charge wash-and-fold rates plus a delivery fee or a slightly higher per-pound price. Many local laundromats also run their own pickup and delivery, often at lower prices than the big apps. Check nearby laundromat listings for delivery service to compare.
