If Laundry Feels Like It's Always There, You're Not Alone
It piles up while you're at work. It waits for you on Sunday. And no matter how many loads you finish, there's always another basket calling your name.
You didn't sign up for endless laundry cycles. You signed up for a full life—and laundry keeps stealing hours you'll never get back.
The mental load is real. Sorting, washing, drying, folding, putting away. Then doing it all over again three days later. It's exhausting.
What if you could just... not?

Why should I choose Columbia Pike Laundry over a laundry app
We have an app too! But the difference is that the other laundry delivery services are actually middlemen. So you never know who's actually handling your clothes or how they'll be cleaned. With us you'll get the same convenience of the app, but with the familiarity of our drivers and see how our in-house team folds every item with care.
Do you clean comforters, blankets, and bulky items?
Yes. We handle comforters, duvets, and other bulky items. Pricing is shown on our Pricing Page.
Can I schedule recurring pickups?
Absolutely. Many families schedule weekly or bi-weekly recurring pickups so laundry runs on autopilot. You can adjust, skip, or cancel anytime with no fees or penalties. We have a special discount for taking advantage so its a double-win!
How do I track my order?
You’ll receive SMS updates throughout the process from pickup to delivery. You can also check status from your online account.
How fast is turnaround for laundry pickup and delivery?
Standard Fairfax laundry orders are turned around in 48 hours. Express next day laundry service is available for a fee. Note: Dry Cleaning orders have a 4 day turnaround.
What's included in wash and fold service?
We wash, dry, and fold all your laundry using high-quality, free and clear detergent. We also have options for softener and scent boost available. Your clothes come back folded, organized, and ready to put away.

Yes! If you schedule before noon, we can often pick up the same day across most of Northern Virginia. Next-day pickup is guaranteed when you book before 5pm. Same-day delivery is available on a case-by-case basis.
Do you serve apartments and condos?
Yes. We pick up from houses, apartments, and condos in Fairfax. You can add access details or any special instructions in your address notes.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We get it! You can cancel or reschedule anytime with no fees. Just give us at least 2 hours notice before your scheduled pickup by calling, texting, or updating your account online.
How do I book a pickup?
You can schedule a pickup online at https://www.columbiapikelaundry.com/booking and choose the best time window for your schedule.
Do I have to separate my laundry before sending it?
No, you don’t need to separate your laundry before pickup — we handle that for you. Our team sorts by lights, darks, and fabric type so you don’t have to. If you have special requests, like washing delicate items separately or using a specific detergent, just include a note with your order and we’ll take care of it.
