What should I beware of when looking for an online laundry or dry cleaning company?

Many online laundry and dry cleaning companies that come up in search results are nothing more than an nice website or app. They are middlemen that pickup your garments and outsource them to another company or large cleaning plant in Long Island City. In many instances, they place customers laundry in mesh bags and wash them together in the same washer/dryer. 

We feel like it is our duty to let potential customers know about this. Many customers come to us after having a negative experience with these companies. 

Make sure that any laundry or dry cleaning company that you use has storefronts and their own Laundromat. 

We have been in business since 2006 and have storefronts and our own Laundromat. This is how we are able to maintain consistent quality and offer customization for laundry. When you have a question, we are only a text or phone call away.

How do I get started with Todd Layne Cleaners?

It’s so easy to get started!

If you would like to text, send the message “new customer” and we’ll handle the rest. Contactless free pickup and delivery is available.

If you have never sent out your laundry before, we understand that there can be some confusion. You can use a laundry bag of your own or we sell a large laundry bag with carrying strap at a substantial discount. If you also have dry cleaning or laundered shirts, separate these items in a separate bag. We can also provide a bag to use for these items in the future.

We store all of your preferences and special requests in our system to make it as simple as possible for you. The Care Preferences section of our website tool allows you to select from a choice of premium detergent, stain fighter, fabric protector and scent booster…and give us any special instructions.   Whether you create an account online or by phone/text, we will always keep your information up to date.

How do you choose a laundry or dry cleaning business in NYC?

There are a few important factors to consider:

Do they have their own storefronts and laundry facility? This is the most important question…

Many new online dry cleaners are nothing more than an app. For instance, Laundryheap is just a technology platform and outsources all of the laundry and dry cleaning to other cleaners. They have no staff on the ground in New York and outsource even the pickups and deliveries to independent contractors.

At Todd Layne Cleaners, we have had storefronts and our own Laundromat on the Upper East Side since 2006. We control the entire process with our own staff that have an average tenure of eight years. Trust us for your laundry and dry cleaning needs.

Do they offer eco-friendly services?

All dry cleaning at Todd Layne Cleaners is eco-friendly. There is no chemical smell with exceptional stain removal, color retention, fabric longevity and gentle steam pressing. Most cleaners in NYC use a cleaning agent that is toxic and classified as a carcinnogen by the state of California.

We also offer eco-friendly laundry services with scent-free options from Seventh Generation and Tide. For clients with allergies or a need for baby laundry, we can handle that too.

Do they offer delivery in NYC?

We offer free pickup and delivery in NYC seven days a week with a quick 30 minute time window.

Can they handle special requests?

No request is too complicated for Todd Layne Cleaenrs. Gym gear and delicates that need air drying? No Problem. Specific detergents and scent booster? No Problem. Want to select your water and dryer temperature? No Problem. Allergy or chemical sensitivity? No Problem. We can handle any of your unique requests, ask us and see how we can help. Introducing LaundryLayne, the unique and customized path your laundry will thank you for.

How long have they been in business?

Many new competitors have tried to copy our business model without success. We have been trusted in Manhattan since 2006.

What is the difference between Wash and Fold, Laundering, Dry Cleaning and Puffer Coat cleaning?

Option 1: Wash and Fold; Clothing is washed, dryed at a safe low temperature and given back to you folded and fresh, customized anyway you want it! We offer free choice of detergent, fabic protector, stain fighter, and scent booster. Air and hang drying are available for delicates and gym gear. For more information click here.

Option 2: Laundering; Dress/Button down shirts are washed with natural solvents/soaps and gently steamed by hand for a perfect finish. At TLC we scrub the cuffs and collars of all shirts before they are cleaned. These can then be given back on hangers or folded in a box, whichever you prefer. For more information click here.

Option 3: Dry Cleaning; We find that most people don’t understand what Dry Cleaning really means. In simple terms, it is a process where garments are placed in what looks like a giant washing machine, but with much more technical sophistication. Conditions are controlled for humidity, stain removal and other factors. There is a liquid inside the machine that most dry cleaners use that is toxic (our’s is not) and classified as a carcinogen by the state of California. We use a quick and safe drying process, followed by a gentle steaming by hand for a perfect finish.

Our Eco-Friendly process is more unique because we have an experienced “spotter” that treats all stains before the cleaning process. Whites come out whiter and darks maintain their color. There is never a chemical smell because we use eco-friendly solvents resulting in your garments having a longer lifespan. For more information click here.

Option 4: Puffer Coat Cleaning; We use a specialized process for coat brands like Canada Goose, Mackage, Moncler,etc. Our specialist uses a very delicate and unique Eco-Friendly cleaning process to gently remove stains and restore that coat to its original look by maintaining vibrant colors and proper feather distribution.  For more information click here.
