How the Drop-Off Process Works — Step by Step
Dropping off your laundry at Long Island Laundry takes just a few minutes. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you walk in to the moment your clothes are back in your hands.
- Bag your laundry. Toss everything into any bag you have at home — a laundry bag, a garbage bag, a reusable tote. There’s no need to sort your clothes first. No need to separate whites from darks. Just put it all in the bag and bring it in.
- Drop it off and share your preferences. Hand your bag to the team at the counter and let them know when you’d like it back — same day, next day, or at a specific time. If you have any preferences around detergent, water temperature, folding style, or specific items you’d like hung rather than folded, tell them at drop-off. No instructions are too detailed, and none of them cost extra.
- Your order gets tagged and tracked through every step. As soon as your laundry is received, it’s assigned an order tag using a tag with your customer information on it. Your order is tracked through every single stage of processing — from the wash cycle through drying, folding, and packaging. Your clothes are never mixed with another customer’s load. We’ll send you a text or email when your order is ready for pickup.
- Sorting, washing, and sanitizing. Your laundry is sorted into whites, lights, and darks and washed using our standard premium detergents — Tide, Downy fabric softener, and Bounce dryer sheets, with Clorox bleach on whites. If you have a preference, just let us know: we offer All Free & Clear or Dreft for sensitive skin, and Seventh Generation for an eco-friendly option. Every load is washed and dried at the right temperature for the fabrics inside — we rarely use high heat, since that’s one of the fastest ways to shrink clothes. Careful temperature handling is just part of how we protect your garments.
- Workflow Intelligence manages your order. As your laundry moves through the facility, Workflow Intelligence technology tracks order progress and keeps the process moving efficiently — no delays, no lost orders, no bottlenecks.
- Folded, packaged, and ready for pickup. Once dried, the team folds everything neatly and packages your order for collection. You come back at your requested time and pick up clean, fresh-smelling, perfectly folded clothes — ready to go straight into your drawers.
Same-Day vs. Next-Day Turnaround — What to Expect
One of the biggest advantages of dropping off your laundry in person at 61 Glen Street is access to same-day service — something the pickup and delivery schedule can’t always accommodate.
Same-Day Service
If you drop your laundry off in the morning, the team can have it washed, dried, folded, and ready for pickup by the end of the day. Same-day service is available on request and comes at no extra charge — you simply ask for it when you drop off. This option is ideal when laundry has piled up unexpectedly, when you’re heading out of town and need fresh clothes fast, or when you’ve had a busy week and don’t have time to wait.
Standard 24-Hour Turnaround
If there’s no urgency, the standard turnaround is 24 hours. Drop off today, pick up tomorrow. Most customers find this the easiest rhythm — especially those who drop off once a week and collect the next morning before work or during their lunch break.
Either way, the quality of the wash, the products used, and the folding precision are identical — same premium detergents, same careful temperature handling, same professional result.
What Happens to Your Laundry After You Drop It Off?
Once your bag is in the hands of the Long Island Laundry team, it goes through a systematic process designed to deliver consistently clean, well-cared-for results every time. You can learn more about the full wash and fold service process on the Long Island Laundry website — but here’s the core of what happens.
Every load is separated into lights, darks, and whites before any water touches your clothes. Mixing colors and fabric types is how garments get dulled, stretched, or damaged — and that never happens here. After sorting, clothes are washed with our standard premium detergents — Tide, Downy, and Bounce — chosen because they clean thoroughly without stripping fabric quality. Prefer something different? Just let us know and we’ll use it.
Every load is washed and dried at the appropriate temperature for what’s inside. We don’t default to high heat — that’s how clothes shrink. Taking care of your fabrics is something we take seriously on every single order.
After drying, the Workflow Intelligence system ensures your order is processed in sequence without unnecessary delays — then folded, packaged, and set aside for your pickup.
Can’t Make It In? Use Free Pickup and Delivery Instead
The drop-off option works perfectly for residents and businesses that are close to 61 Glen Street or have the flexibility to stop by. But if getting to the facility doesn’t fit your week, Long Island Laundry’s free pickup and delivery service covers the entire Glen Cove area and surrounding North Shore communities.
Through the easy online pickup and delivery scheduling system at longislandlaundry.com, you can book a pickup in under 60 seconds. Select the day, leave your bag outside your door, and the team handles everything from collection to return.

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly — or just whenever the pile gets too big.

What to Tell the Team When You Drop Off
One of the things that sets Long Island Laundry apart from a standard laundromat drop-off is the level of personalization available — and the fact that none of it costs extra. When you hand over your bag, you can specify:
- Detergent preference: Tide and Downy are the standard, used on every order unless you request otherwise. If you have a skin sensitivity or fragrance allergy, ask for All Free & Clear — no upcharge applies.
- Water and dryer temperature: Cold wash, warm wash, low heat, high heat — whatever your fabrics need, just say so.
- Folding or hanging: Standard folding is included, but if you’d prefer certain items hung on hangers rather than folded, the team will accommodate that at no extra cost.
- Bulky items: Comforters, weighted blankets, and oversized bedding require industrial machines and extended drying. These are handled as part of the facility’s comforter cleaning service — ask about piece pricing when you drop off.
- Commercial loads: Business owners dropping off towels, uniforms, or linens should mention the volume upfront. Long Island Laundry works with salons, medical offices, spas, gyms, sports teams, and more — see the commercial laundry service page for details on commercial pricing and scheduling.
There’s no limit to the special instructions you can leave. The team writes them down and follows them to the letter — every time, without charging more for the attention to detail.
