Outsourcing Dirty Laundry
Laundry nights might become thing of the past if Washio has its way. You place your laundry and dry cleaning order via app, the laundry is picked up and then delivered all clean and folded to you the next day. (Both Ashton Kutcher and Calvin Harris are investors.) Currently the company boasts door-to-door service in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Santa Monica and Washington, D.C. More cities will be added soon.
For companies wishing to extend the privilege of effortless clean laundry to employees, there is Washio for Enterprise, which is available in Los Angeles and San Francisco only. Washio estimates that the time an employee saves from not having to do his or her laundry is equivalent to an extra three weeks of vacation a year. Besides, as everyone knows, clean-smelling clothes makes for happy coworkers.
