This On-Demand Laundry App Will Pick Up Your Dirty Clothes in an Hour

Here's another service for advanced humans/lazy people who prefer to outsource menial life tasks via their phone. If buying more underwear and clothing isn't an option, smartphone-powered laundry app Washio's new on-demand pick-up and delivery service will deal with the dirty work for you.

The company's new Washio Now service allows tech-savvy, time-pressed Angelenos to request laundry or dry cleaning pick-up or delivery between 6am to midnight. For no additional charge, a "Washio Ninja" can pick up your goods within the hour (even as soon as 10 minutes) and will deliver cleaned and pressed merch to your door in 24 hours. Now all you'll need to do is actually get off the couch.

Wash and fold service is $1.60 per pound (minimum 15 pounds); deliver is free for orders over $35. The app's available for iPhone and Android; see if your nabe's eligible here, download Washio here, and see the full menu of dry cleaning pricing and more here.
