You’re busy and you don’t have time to do laundry.<\/p>\n

What can you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a fairly new company that will get your laundry done for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laundrylicious was started by Marieke Hensel-van Der Graaf and she is also the founder of Branding Personality<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw Marieke posting about this new venture and I was intrigued so I asked her some questions.<\/p>\n

What does Laundrylicious do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We pick up & deliver laundry for people from their house or office. We pick up 7 days a week from 7am-9pm. People can choose their own detergent and can easily book online. The laundry gets returned in 48 hours, and we also have same day service.<\/p>\n

Why did you start Laundrylicious?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got into this because I was over the fact of doing my own laundry. I had 4 kids at the time, and I never had enough time to do it all. I had a cleaner at home, but still spent hours & hours doing the laundry. I was so done with it that one day I posted my washer & dryer on craigslist and sold it for a good price. Then I went and tried out many fluff & folds, dry cleaners laundry service etc. The problem with this solution was\u00a0I still had to bring it in, pick it up, or they never did a good job folding it and such.<\/p>\n

When I finally found an okay-ish place I was so happy with the hours I didn’t have to spend on laundry, that I wanted more people to enjoy it and started promoting this.<\/p>\n

That was last year, I had drivers, but we brought it to a wholesale plant. We still had to do a lot of hand holding and the quality was never the same.<\/p>\n

Eventually one of my drivers said she could do a better job. We did a tested run one week and it was waaay better. After that week we brought some customers back to the old plant, and we received 4 complaints “what happened to the laundry this week?” so we knew we couldn’t go back, and started working with our new plant.<\/p>\n

Where is Laundrylicious going?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are now way over capacity and I am in the process of (hopefully) purchasing another plant.<\/p>\n

What is the average cost for Laundrylicious to pick up my laundry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A family of 4 typically pays $80-$100 per week, depending on the amount of laundry, and that depends on ages of kids, sports etc. Its probably about the same as a family would pay for a housekeeper.<\/p>\n

Is Laundrylicious right for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have limited or no time, then yes.<\/p>\n
