Future plans are being made for electric delivery vehicles. Lastly, we recycle our wire hangers.

We have a very accurate scale at our facility which has been certified and tested by the Orange County Weights and Measures Division. However, as an estimate a 13 gallon trash bag will weigh approximately 12 to 15lbs and a black garden leaf bag from 30 to 40lbs. If you want, get on a scale with and without holding the clothes and the difference should approximate the weight.

The clothes will be folded in like groups ( i.e. men’s tee shirts undergarments, pants, etc.) and held together with laundry wrap to prevent them from unfolding during transit. Socks are folded in pairs and some dress shirts and blouses are hung on hangers and covered in plastic wrap like you get from the dry cleaners. We do not iron clothes.

We have both scented and unscented detergents. Our unscented detergent was originally developed for the textile industry. It is environmentally safe, hypoallergenic, and unlike commercial laundry detergents like TIDE, it completely washes out of clothes during the rinse cycle which will help to naturally soften your clothes. It is fragrance free leaving your clothes smelling fresh not perfumed. We also add some additives to soften the water during washing. However, if you have special requests, we can also accommodate that as well.
