Hello All!

Just a little update… I’m still operating here in CB with complimentary pickup and delivery with a $10 minimum.

I charge per pound of laundry and items are weighed once dry. My rate has increased 5% to $1.37 per pound, but existing customers were locked in at the old rate through 2023. The typical individual produces 16 pounds of laundry per week, which would be $22 per week.

My turnaround time is 2 to 3 days. I typically arrange a regular pickup and delivery time with new customers when we start.

I do offer a 10% discount for households over age 65, but the $10 minimum does still apply.

Feel free to message with questions.

Thank you!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Wishing all the goblins fun and safety tonight while they trick or treat for goodies 🎃👻🎃

Some trick or treat safety tips to keep in mind:

🎃 Drivers, Be Alert! - Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.

🎃 Go only into familiar neighborhoods, and stop only at houses that are well lit.

🎃 Check Your Porch Lights - If you are wanting children to come to your door, turn on that light and if you aren't, don't forget to shut it off.

🎃 Carry flashlights and use reflective tape on clothing and bags.

🎃 Homeowners: Only give out commercially wrapped snacks.
Keep pets inside.. costumes and loud noises may scare them.

🎃Treats look suspicious? When in doubt, throw it out.

Have a spook-tacular Halloween! 👻🎃

Happy Sunday Morning!

I am implementing the following changes in order to protect my small profit margin and also to keep my service affordable to most.

Unfortunately, I can now only provide full service, including pickup and delivery, within Council Bluffs. I can allow my customers to bring their orders to me and pick them up, if anyone would like to explore that. I very much appreciate those from other communities who helped me get started.

I am eliminating promotion of my 48 hour turnaround. I need to minimize driving and protect my personal time. 48 hours will not be possible in all instances.

Also, as a friendly reminder, there is a $10 minimum charge for each order that is picked up and delivered.

Thank you for your support!

Also, yes, exciting news is still to come! The Laundry Lady was in a little accident, which has delayed things a bit. 😉 💛

Folks in the Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska Area…

Here’s how this works…

I offer free pickup and delivery for orders over $10. We setup pickup and delivery days and times when you sign up, generally 48 hours apart. My fee is $1.30 per pound and your items are weighed when they’re dry. Google says the average person creates 16 pounds of laundry in a week, which would be $21 per person, per week, but my costumers average lower bills than that.

I will iron by request for an additional $2 per item, and I can also do some simple mending by request.

Payment is due at delivery. I accept cash, PayPal, Venmo, or Google Pay.

I am small enough that I can tailor your service. For example, would you like your towels rolled instead of folded? My default products are unscented and wool dryer balls to prevent static, but I keep many products on hand and can use whatever you like. Would you like your items covered when they’re returned to you, with plastic or cotton sheeting? Let me know!

Pet friendly disclaimer- My business is in my home, which is dog friendly. The dog does not linger in the laundry space, but my service may not be appropriate for those who are severely allergic to dogs.

Thank you for reading! Happy to answer any questions!
