First pickup

Your first pickup — what to expect

New to SundayFree? Here's exactly what happens from the moment you schedule to the moment your laundry is back — clean, folded, and ready to put away.

Schedule your first pickup
01

How do I get started?

Create your account, confirm your address is inside our coverage area, and choose your wash preferences — temperature, detergent, softener. Add any notes for the driver, pick a date and time, and you'll get instant confirmation. Your first order defaults to Single Pickup ($2.10/lb, 18 lb minimum, no commitment) — or you can start directly on a subscription plan for a lower rate.

02

What hours do you pick up and deliver?

Every pickup and delivery happens between 8 and 11am, Monday through Saturday. We're closed on Sundays — turns out even we could use a Sunday off.

03

What bag should I use the first time?

Any bag you already have at home works — a trash bag is perfectly fine. From then on, we send your clean laundry back in a reusable SundayFree bag you can use for every future pickup. Because it's always the same size, you'll quickly get a feel for how much a full bag weighs — making it easier to estimate your order's price before we even pick it up.

04

Do I need to sort my clothes first?

No — that's our job. We sort everything by color and fabric before washing, on every order. Stain treatment is included automatically on our Starter, Plus, and Concierge plans; on a one-time Single Pickup, tell us about any stains in your notes and we'll do our best, though treatment isn't included by default.

05

Do you wash pet items too?

Yes — we wash pet beds, blankets, toys, and other pet items, billed per item instead of by weight. See the full list and prices on our pricing page. If you're also sending a regular laundry order in the same pickup, pack pet items in a separate bag: laundry is billed by weight and pet items by piece, and we wash them in a separate load for hygiene, since pet hair and allergens shouldn't mix with your regular clothes.

06

Do I have to be home?

Not at all — unless you'd like to meet our drivers. Leave clear instructions for where to drop off and pick up the bag, and you'll always know exactly what's happening: first, we text you when your driver is on the way to pick up your order; once it's being processed, we send you a photo of it on the scale so you can see exactly what you're being charged for; you can check the full status anytime in the app or on the website, so you always know where your laundry is; and finally, we text you again — with a photo — the moment your order is delivered.

07

How is my clean laundry packed?

Every order comes back neatly folded inside your SundayFree bag. On our Plus and Concierge plans, it also comes separated into individual bags by category — shirts with shirts, towels with towels — so putting it away takes minutes.

08

How often should I schedule pickups?

Totally up to you. Try a Single Pickup with no commitment, or save more per pound with Starter (every two weeks), Plus (3 times a month, with priority pickup), or Concierge (weekly, our fastest option). Compare all the details on our pricing page.
