STUDENT LAUNDRY SERVICE

Student laundry service
for UT, done for you

Between class, work, and everything else, laundry doesn't need to eat your Sunday. We pick it up, wash and fold it at $2.00/lb, and bring it back clean the next business day — with a standing weekly slot that fits your schedule if you want one.

WHY STUDENTS USE IT

Get your time back for the stuff that matters

A load of laundry is never just a load of laundry. It's a walk to the machines, a wait, a swap to the dryer, another wait, and then the folding you'll probably put off until the pile takes over your chair. That's a couple of hours you could spend studying, working a shift, or actually having a weekend.

Our wash & fold service hands that time back. You bag it up, we do the rest, and it comes back clean, folded, and ready to put away. No quarters, no fighting for an open machine, no laundry day. If you're weighing it against doing it yourself, we broke down the real trade-offs in wash & fold vs. DIY.

HOW IT WORKS

Bag it, book it, get it back

Pickup and delivery runs through the Cents app, and the whole thing takes about a minute to set up:

  1. Bag your laundry. Toss everything in one bag — no sorting, no separating lights and darks. We handle that.
  2. Place your order in the app. Open the Cents app, pick a pickup time, and tell us where to grab it.
  3. We wash and fold it. Everything is washed, dried, and neatly folded at $2.00 per pound in our bright, attended store.
  4. We bring it back. Your laundry is delivered the next business day, folded and ready to put straight in the drawer.

A STANDING SLOT

A weekly pickup that fits your class schedule

The easiest way to never think about laundry again is to put it on repeat. We can set a standing weekly pickup slot on the day and time that works around your classes and shifts — say, every Thursday afternoon between labs — and we'll show up for it each week without you having to rebook.

It's the same simple deal every time: bag it the night before, leave it out, and it's back clean the next business day. If your schedule shifts between semesters, just tell us and we'll move the slot. To lock in a standing pickup, call us at (865) 281-3381 and we'll set the day and window with you.

FOR PARENTS

Set it up for your student, or gift it

Parents set this up all the time — sometimes because a first-year has never touched a washing machine, sometimes just to take one thing off a busy student's plate. You can place the order in the Cents app from anywhere, or call us and we'll walk you through arranging a standing weekly pickup for them.

Prefer to give it rather than manage it? Reload their loyalty card and they can put it toward wash & fold all term — load $20 get $22, load $40 get $45. Either way, they get clean, folded laundry and you get one less thing to worry about from a few hundred miles away. Questions? Get in touch and a real person will help you set it up.

Wash & fold is a flat $2.00 per pound — that's the same rate whether you drop it off or use pickup and delivery. Delivery itself is priced per route depending on where you live, so call (865) 281-3381 with your address for current pricing. Turnaround is next business day; we don't do same-day, so bag it up a day before you need everything fresh.

SERVICE AREA

Serving Fort Sanders, The Strip & the campus area

Our store sits at 1021 Heiskell Ave, a short hop from campus, and our route covers Fort Sanders, The Strip along Cumberland Avenue, and the neighborhoods around the University of Tennessee. If you live in a dorm, an apartment off Cumberland, or a house in the Fort, you're almost certainly on the map.

Because routes and distances vary, we quote delivery pricing per route rather than posting a flat fee. Give us a call with your address and we'll confirm coverage and pricing on the spot. Closer to campus and want to walk your load over instead? Here's our laundromat near the University of Tennessee.
