We write about the laundry problems people in Toronto actually have: shared machines in condo basements, winter coats caked in road salt, and duvets too big for a front-loader.
Most posts are written so you can fix the problem yourself. Where it's genuinely easier to hand the job off, we say so, and explain how pickup and delivery works.
The blog has four sections. Laundry covers routines and how a wash-and-fold service fits in. Fabric Care goes item by item. Laundry Tips is short, practical fixes. Lifestyle is everything around laundry, including what it's like to earn money doing it as a Washer Hero.
Prices quoted in our posts are checked against the live rate card, so a figure you read here should match what you'd pay. Every post also shows when it was last updated, so you can tell how fresh the advice is.
Each section page lists its newest posts first, so if you come back in a month, the top of the page is where to look for anything new.
