Using a service for the first time can be stressful—especially with something as personal as your laundry. Will your favorite sweater come back in the same shape? Do you need to separate your whites and colors beforehand? How long does it usually take? These are all good questions, and getting the answers can help you feel confident about your decisions.
At Martinizing Cleaners, we understand the importance of dependable service. As industry experts, we’re here to walk you through exactly what happens when you schedule a Wash and Fold Service—from arranging pickup or drop-off to returning your garments neatly folded and ready to wear.
In this blog post, we explain what you can expect from your very first wash and fold experience with us, so you can see how convenient it really is.
How Does the Wash and Fold Laundry Service at Martinizing Cleaners Work?
Using wash and fold for the first time can feel strange, but at Martinizing Cleaners, we simplified the entire process to make it as easy as possible. Our goal is to handle your laundry with professional care while giving you more time for what matters most. Whether you drop off at one of our locations or schedule a pickup, we have you covered from start to finish.
Step 1 | Place Your Order—Your Way
We offer multiple ways to schedule your laundry service, such as:
- Call us at (925) 938-5000
- Send us a text
- Place an order through our app
- Send us an email
After you reach out, we’ll confirm the details and arrange for your laundry to be picked up or dropped off. No need to go to a laundromat or waste time waiting for machines—we come to you!
Step 2 | Drop Off or Schedule a Pickup
You don’t need a special bag—just place your laundry in any type of bag and leave it outside for pickup. Prefer to stop by in person? Bring your laundry to your nearest Martinizing Cleaners location, and we’ll check it in quickly.
Step 3 | Professional Sorting and Washing
Once your laundry arrives at our facility, our team sorts it by color, fabric type, and washing requirements. We make sure whites stay bright, colors stay vibrant, and delicate fabrics are handled with care.
If you have specific preferences—such as using fragrance-free detergent or skipping fabric softener—just let us know, and we’ll customize the process to your needs.
Step 4 | Expert Cleaning and Drying
Your laundry is washed using high-quality detergents, commercial-grade washing machines, and carefully controlled water temperatures to ensure the best results. Unlike home washing, where you might overload the machine or skimp on detergent, our professional equipment cleans your clothes thoroughly and efficiently.
After washing, we dry your garments at the appropriate temperature to prevent shrinkage or damage. Items like towels and sheets are dried on high heat for extra freshness, while delicate fabrics receive a gentler approach.
Step 5 | Folding and Packaging
Once everything is clean and dry, we meticulously fold and package your laundry so it’s ready to be put away. No more wrestling with wrinkled clothes or mismatched socks—we return your laundry perfectly folded and organized.
Step 6 | Pickup or Delivery—Your Choice
When your laundry is ready, we notify you for pickup or deliver it back to your door if you scheduled a delivery service. No need to worry about laundromat hours or finding the nearest laundry service—we handle everything for you.
