New On-Demand Laundry Service in DFW Is Perfect for Busy Families

If there’s one thing all parents can agree on, it’s that having kids means you’ll be doing lots and lots of laundry. From the moment you bring them home until they’re tossing their socks on the floor of their rooms as teens, the piles of clothes, whether they’re dirty or clean, never go away. What if there was a way to (literally) lighten the load? A new on-demand laundry service has just come to North Texas, and if getting your laundry done is something you’d love to check off your to-do list permanently, NoScrubs could be the perfect fit.
Co-founder and CEO, Matt O’Connor, launched Instacart in Austin, so he’s no stranger to helping people make their busy lives easier. "Unfortunately, the laundry burden usually falls on moms. I grew up with a working mom who didn't have time to do the family's laundry. When people would come over, we would make sure to shut the laundry room door because the floor was covered in laundry waiting to be done," he says.

How does NoScrubs work?
Your clothing will be picked up, washed, folded, and returned to your home in as little as four hours. It’s as simple as downloading the app or using the website. Create an account, choose your preferred pickup time within a two-hour window between 9am and 6pm, seven days a week, and a “Scrubber" will swing by for your laundry. If you aren’t home, simply leave your clothing on the front porch. If you’re in a hurry, you can opt for the ASAP four-hour pickup window for priority service.
You can even include specific washing and drying instructions—air dry, cold wash, delicate cycle, and more. The service only uses unscented, hypoallergenic, and dye-free detergents, and if you have a preferred detergent, simply include it in your laundry bag, and NoScrubs will use that instead.
How much does NoScrubs cost?
There are two set plans: Standard and Family. The standard plan includes two pickups a month at 20lbs a pickup for $59 with 50% off your first month, while the family plan includes four pickups a month at 40lbs a month for $198 a month with 50% off your first month. If these don’t fit your needs, you can create a customized plan to best fit your family's needs.
Yes, this is an expense, but you're saving something you can't ever get back or create more of—time. "Families are pulled in 10 different directions, and laundry is constantly accumulating. The typical family will spend 400 hours per year doing laundry—that's an insane amount of time for a chore. NoScrubs can be outsourced, returned in real time, and done at professional quality,” says O'Connor.
Which areas does NoScrubs serve?
The service launched on July 8 and is currently available in most neighborhoods in Dallas, including University Park, Preston Hollow, Oak Lawn, Bishop Arts, Lakewood, M Streets, the Design District, Turtle Creek, Uptown, and more. NoScrubs is also available for anyone living in the Soutside neighborhood of Fort Worth.
