I'm in the process of searching for an apartment, and throughout my search I have noticed a frequent deterrent to my interest in rentals is the lack of washers/dryers in the apartment, or onsite. I don't really want to drive to a laundromat and sit around forever waiting for my wash to finish.
NO ONE wants to do that!
My idea is to begin a laundry service for people in this situation. I would collect their laundry every week, wash/dry/fold it, and return it to them. I would charge a monthly fee for the service, maybe $30, not sure yet.
A problem I foresee is privacy. Many people probably would feel some discomfort at the thought of someone else handling their underwear and things of that sort. A possible solution would be to provide a mesh wash bag they could put those sorts of garments in. This would help conceal what is inside, and would allow me to wash and dry the clothes without ever needing to handle them directly.
Another possible problem would arise if only a few people in each complex would want the service. This would make me have to drive all over to collect the laundry, using gas and wasting time. If there were some way to ensure a lot of participation it would be helpful. Perhaps I could speak to apartment managers and have them include it in the rent.
Solutions? Other problems?
Thanks!
