Mobile laundry pickup and delivery

Laundry is the chore that never stays done. Hand it to us. Schedule a pickup, set the bags on your porch, and we take it from there. Everything comes back washed, dried, folded, and stacked in about two days. We sort colors, follow your detergent preferences, and treat stains before they set in. Pricing is by the pound with a $30 minimum, and pickup and delivery are included across the Des Moines metro. Your first order is half off.

$2.00 per pound, $30 minimum. Pickup and delivery included.

Personal assistance and everything else

Some jobs don't fit a category: waiting at the house for the cable technician, sorting a garage before a move, a weekly check on a parent's place. If it keeps a household running, we probably do it. Describe the task below and we'll send a free quote.

From the route

What neighbors are saying

Dropped four bags on the porch Monday and had everything back Wednesday, folded better than I ever manage. It's become a weekly thing.

Sarah K. Beaverdale

They fixed our storm door and rehung a sagging gate in about two hours. Fair price, and they swept up before leaving.

Dave T. Ankeny

They pick up my mom's groceries and prescriptions every week. She looks forward to the visit almost as much as the delivery.

Linda M. Windsor Heights

I work two jobs. Handing off the laundry and the odd errand gave me my Sundays back.

Frequently asked questions

How does laundry pickup and delivery work?

Schedule a pickup by phone or through the quote form, and leave your bags outside your door on pickup day. We wash, dry, and fold everything and bring it back in about two days. You don't need to be home for pickup or delivery.

How much does wash and fold laundry cost in Des Moines?

Our wash, dry, and fold service is $2.00 per pound with a $30 minimum order. Pickup and delivery are included across the Des Moines metro. Your first order is 50% off.

What parts of the Des Moines area do you serve?

We serve the Des Moines metro, including Des Moines, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Ankeny, Johnston, Clive, Windsor Heights, and Altoona. Not sure if you're in range? Call (515) 321-2747 and we'll tell you straight.

What handyman jobs do you take on?

Most small and mid-size household jobs: faucet and toilet repairs, TV mounting, furniture assembly, door and gate fixes, painting touch-ups, and general maintenance. Larger projects get a free on-site estimate first. If a job needs a licensed specialist, we'll tell you before any work starts.

Can you run errands for my parents or grandparents?

Yes. We handle groceries, prescription pickups, post office runs, and other regular errands for seniors across the metro. Family members can set up the schedule and handle payment from anywhere.

What if I need something that isn't on the list?

Just ask. Describe the task in the quote form and we'll send back a free quote, usually the same day. If it's something we can't do, we'll say so.

Do I need to be home for pickup or service?

Not for laundry: porch pickup and drop-off is the standard. For repairs and in-home work, someone usually needs to be there for the first visit. Recurring customers can make their own arrangements with us.

How do payment and quotes work?

Standard services are priced up front on this page, and everything else gets a free written quote before work begins. You pay when the job is done. No deposits on standard orders.
