How Laundry Pickup Works (And What It Costs)
Curious about pickup laundry but not sure what to expect? Here's a plain-English breakdown of how the process works, what it costs, and what you get with Cents Wash House.
Pickup laundry service sounds almost too good to be true — someone comes to your house, takes your dirty clothes, and brings them back clean and folded? Yes, that's exactly what it is. And it's simpler (and more affordable) than most people think.
Here's a plain-English breakdown of how it works with Cents Wash House, serving Hueytown and Bessemer, AL.
Step 1: Book Your Pickup Online
Head to our booking page and fill out a quick form. You'll choose:
- Your pickup date — we'll come to you on the day that works best
- Your estimated load size — small, medium, or large
- Any add-ons — ironing, steaming, custom detergent, or extra hangers
The whole thing takes under two minutes. No phone calls, no back-and-forth.
Step 2: We Come to Your Door
On your scheduled pickup day, we come to your home and collect your laundry. You don't need to be there — just leave your bags in an agreed spot and we'll handle the rest. No trips to the laundromat, no waiting around.
Step 3: We Wash, Fold, and Deliver
Your clothes are washed with care using quality detergent (or your preferred detergent if you choose that add-on), then folded and packaged neatly. We deliver everything back to your door, ready to put away.
What Does It Cost?
Our pricing is straightforward:
- Base rate: $2.50 per pound
- Ironing add-on: available for dress shirts, pants, and other items that need a crisp finish
- Steaming add-on: great for delicate fabrics
- Custom detergent: bring your own or request a specific type
- Pickup fee: varies by location — see our services page for details
There's a $25 nonrefundable deposit at booking, which goes toward your total. No surprise charges.

Is It Worth It?
For most customers, the answer is yes — especially once they realize how much time they were spending at the laundromat. At $2.50/lb, a typical medium load runs $20–$35. Compare that to two or three hours of your Saturday, and the math starts to look pretty different.
