What Is Wash & Fold? How Drop-Off Laundry Works at Wash Bar
Laundry is one of those jobs that's never really finished. You fold the last towel on Sunday night, and by Wednesday the hamper is full again. Wash & fold is the easiest way we know to break that cycle: you hand us your laundry, and it comes back clean, dried and folded, ready to put away.
We do wash & fold at all three Wash Bar stores, in Ada, Ardmore and Pauls Valley. We'll also pick it up and bring it back for free inside city limits in those towns, plus Davis and Sulphur. Here's how it works, start to finish.
What Wash & Fold Means
Wash & fold (you'll also hear drop-off laundry or fluff and fold) is a service where a laundromat team washes, dries and folds your everyday laundry for you. You don't wait on machines or move wet loads to a dryer. You come back to clean, folded laundry.
It isn't the same thing as dry cleaning. Wash & fold is for the things you'd normally wash at home: T-shirts, jeans, socks, towels, sheets, kids' clothes and workout gear. Dry cleaning is for suits, dresses and anything with a “dry clean only” tag. We do both, so you can bring them in together.
How Wash & Fold Works at Wash Bar
Drop it off or schedule a pickup. Bring your bag to the counter at any Wash Bar, or use Drive Up & Go and stay in your car. Rather not leave the house? Schedule a pickup in the Wash Bar app or online.
We weigh it. Wash & fold is priced by the pound. When you book in the app, you see your price before you confirm.
It gets its own machines. Your laundry is never mixed with anyone else's. Every washer at every Wash Bar runs ozone-infused water, at no extra charge.
We follow your notes. Want a few things hung to dry, or towels folded a certain way? Add it to your order and our team follows it. Free & Clear detergent is available at no extra charge.
It comes back folded and packaged. Most drop-off orders are ready in under 24 hours, and same-day service is available if you ask an attendant. We text you when it's ready.
Drive Up & Go: Drop Off Without Leaving Your Car
Drive Up & Go is our curbside drop-off, and every store has it. Pull up, stay in the car, and we'll come to you. It runs 7 AM to 8 PM in Ada and Ardmore and 8 AM to 8 PM in Pauls Valley.
At Wash Bar Ardmore on Purvis Drive, there's also a drive-thru window. It's about the fastest way there is to hand off a week of laundry.
Free Pickup & Delivery in Ada, Ardmore, Pauls Valley, Davis and Sulphur
Some weeks you don't want to make the trip at all. That's what pickup & delivery is for, and it's free inside city limits in Ada, Ardmore, Pauls Valley, Davis and Sulphur.
Book in the Wash Bar app or online, pick your day and time, and leave your laundry by the door, or wherever you tell us in the app. You don't have to be home. We text you when the driver is on the way and again when your order is delivered. Pickup & delivery orders are usually back within 24 to 48 hours.
Trying it for the first time? First-time pickup & delivery customers get 35% off their first order in the Wash Bar app. See where we pick up and deliver.
Who Wash & Fold Is For
Busy families. Sports uniforms, school clothes, sheets and towels pile up fast. Drop them off and get your evenings back.
College students. If you're at East Central University in Ada, a weekly drop-off beats spending your Saturday at the machines.
Vacation rental hosts. Sheets and towels between every guest add up quickly, and our biggest washers hold up to 80 lb, so comforters and bedspreads fit with room to spare. Hosting several homes? Our commercial laundry service sorts and packages linens by the room.
Anyone who'd rather not. That's a perfectly good reason, too.
How to Get Your Laundry Ready
Empty every pocket. Pens, lip balm and tissues are behind most laundry mishaps.
Bag delicates separately. Put anything that needs special care in its own bag and add a note to your order.
Keep dry cleaning apart. Suits, dresses and dry-clean-only pieces go in their own bag so they head to dry cleaning, not the washer. They come back on hangers.
Tell us how you like it. Hang-dry items, how you like things folded, Free & Clear detergent: put it in your notes and we'll take it from there.
Wash & Fold or Do It Yourself?
Some weeks you'll want to do it yourself, and our self-serve side is ready for that: American-made Dexter washers and dryers, washers that hold up to 80 lb, ozone-infused water in every washer, and the FasCard app, so you can pay from your phone and check on your machines while you run an errand. Every store is open daily, and the last load starts at 8 PM.
Other weeks you'll want those hours back. That's what wash & fold is for.
