Dry Cleaning and Laundry Tips

Have you ever given some thought to how much time you spend doing household chores? A recent survey on 2,000 American parents found that respondents spend an average of 5 hours and 54 minutes per week (or 23 hours and 36 minutes per month) cleaning and carrying out household chores.

If this is time that you don’t have, there are other ways to get your laundry done without having to spend that amount of time hunched over the washing machine.

At Starcrest Cleaners, you can opt for laundry pickup and delivery or a coin-operated laundromat.

Leave It to the Laundry Specialists

Many are hesitant to call on the pros for any type of service for fear of costs. This is not the case for door-to-door laundry services. Sure, you’ll spend more than if you do the washing yourself, but the benefits are more than worth every penny.

Below are the benefits of laundry pickup and delivery, and the circumstances where you’re better off using this service.

Convenient - All you need to do is pack your laundry in laundry bags or baskets and get them ready for pickup. Although you’re always welcome to bring them over to the laundry shop yourself, you can also take advantage of door-to-door pickup and delivery and have our staff pick up your laundry from your home. Afterwards, we will also deliver your newly cleaned and folded clothes to your doorstep.

Cost-effective -The additional cost of pickup and delivery services is worth the convenience and time you get to spend on more important matters. You could spend your weekends on your side job, for example, or uninterrupted quality time with your friends. Best of all, you won’t be stressed or tired, which often drives people to spend impulsively on things that will bring them comfort, like food and online retail therapy.

Efficient - Professional laundry services have machines big enough to accommodate large loads of laundry. We also have machines that are better at washing comforters, bed sheets, and blankets than the standard home washing machine. If you must do more than twice the usual load you do at home, it will be faster, more economical, and more sustainable to have us do your laundry in one go.

Expert Washing - If you have clothes that are heavily stained and require special attention, our professional laundry specialists will take care of them. Starcrest Cleaners uses effective, non-toxic detergent that won’t harm the fabric of your clothes. You’ll get them back clean and in excellent condition.

Do It Yourself, But Not At Home

If you do have the time to spare to do your own laundry but don’t have a washing machine and dryer at home, you can go to the laundromat instead.

A coin-operated laundromat offers the same benefits as pickup and delivery: they’re convenient, cost-effective, and efficient. You can take advantage of big, state-of-the-art washers and dryers and not worry about the water and electricity bill. While waiting, you can rest, read a book, catch up with friends on Facebook — things you usually set aside for work, chores, or family time.
