Start A Mobile Laundry Service

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, many people have little time to wash their clothes at home. Most prefer having a mobile dry-cleaning service within their locality, picking the clothes from their homes or business.

If you are an entrepreneur looking for a profitable business model, a mobile laundry service could be it! To start, invest in commercial-grade washing machines and dryers. You will need a pickup and delivery van to reach your customers conveniently.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a mobile laundry service:

They signed up 100 third-party laundry service providers and served 50,000 customers in their first year. With funding from accelerators and venture capitalists, the company expanded to more than 15 cities, processing 1,000 orders daily through their franchise model.
