Sorting lines, steam tunnels and the final check — how your laundry moves through our shop in under 24 hours.

Every Foldly morning starts at the intake wall. Bags are weighed, photographed, and tagged with a barcode that follows them from sorting to delivery — so nothing is ever just a pile of clothes.

Sorting decides everything: whites, colours, delicates, bedding, and stain-treatment each take their own lane. Wash formulas match the lane, dryers run by fabric — never by guesswork — and pressers finish shirts while steam tunnels relax everything else.

“Two thousand bags before noon — and every one still gets a hands-on inspection.”

Before a bag seals, it passes the final table: count check, fold check, sniff check. Only then does it get packed, routed by borough, and loaded for its two-hour delivery window.

Why it matters for you

Tracked bags mean on-time delivery, correct sorting means longer garment life, and photographed intake means full accountability on every order.
