WASHINGTON — Cleanly, the New York City-based service designed to reduce the time and stress associated with dirty laundry, recently expanded its operations to this area, Cleanly notes.
To date, the Cleanly platform has more than 15,000 people on a District of Columbia waiting list, the company says.
“Cleanly has deliberately taken a measured approach to expansion and growth, perfecting our business model and services before entering a new market,” says Tom Harari, CEO and co-founder of Cleanly.
The expansion is a result of booming business in its operational markets, where Cleanly is profitable on every delivery in all zones, in every hour, seven days a week, the company adds.
“Washington, D.C., is a city that’s been on our radar since our inception, and we’re happy to now provide our services to our nation’s capital,” Harari says.
Cleanly says it is streamlining laundry and drycleaning services to save users over 10 hours every month. Once an order is placed through its iOS app, Cleanly dispatches a valet (pre-screened through background check and trained to provide “white-glove service”) to pick up and deliver the customer’s laundry or dry cleaning within the desired one-hour window.
Turnaround time is 24 hours (or less) for wash and fold and 36 hours for dry cleaning, the company says; rush service promises same-day (or overnight) turnaround.
Cleanly offers an annual membership program with benefits similar to Amazon Prime that is growing in popularity, the company adds.
