Why Long Island Businesses Choose Long Island Laundry Company for Uniforms
Uniform programs come with real operational pressure, no matter the industry. A restaurant needs server uniforms and aprons ready before the dinner shift. A medical practice needs fresh scrubs hung and waiting before Monday morning. A service crew needs clean polos loaded on the truck before rollout. Corporate teams need branded apparel cleaned without fading logos after 100+ wash cycles. Security companies need crisp, professional uniforms that hold up to daily wear.
Across every industry, the needs are the same: a reliable schedule, transparent pricing, and a direct line to the owner when something urgent comes up. That’s exactly how we run our uniform laundry service. We’ve been family‑owned on Long Island since 2005, and our entire system is built around consistency, communication, and doing the job right every single week.
Family-Owned and Local Since 2005
Anthony Perfetti has run Long Island Laundry Company at 61 Glen Street since 2005. That’s 20+ years of Long Island commercial routes. We also serve households across the same 65 towns through our Residential Laundry service.
100% In-House Processing at Our Glen Cove Facility
Your uniforms never leave 61 Glen Street. We wash, dry, fold or hang, and package each order at our own facility. No subcontractors, no third-party operators. The same hands that wash a restaurant’s kitchen aprons fold and package the dining room server polos. One point of quality control for every load.
W2 Staff, Not Gig Workers
Every driver and everyone at our Glen Cove facility is on our payroll. No gig contractors. For recurring uniform accounts, that matters. The driver picking up at your business this week is the same driver next week. Your manager, your team, and our driver all know each other by name. Consistency comes from staff stability.
No Contracts. No Long-Term Commitments.
Our commercial uniform accounts run month‑to‑month, no long‑term contracts, no auto‑renewal traps, no fine print. We earn your business with every pickup, not with a signature on a multi‑year agreement. That’s a big difference from the national rental companies like Cintas, Aramark, and Alsco, whose contracts often lock businesses in for multiple years with automatic renewals. Local service should be flexible, and that’s exactly how we operate.
Direct Access to Anthony, the Owner
When something needs to change, you call Anthony. A schedule adjustment for a busy season. A rush before a corporate event. A stain issue on an embroidered polo. Not a ticket queue. Not a customer success rep. Not an app. The person who can fix it is the person who answers the phone. Read more on our Commercial Laundry service page.
What Uniforms We Clean for Long Island Businesses
If your team wears it to work, we can clean it, restaurant uniforms, medical scrubs, security apparel, service‑industry workwear, and more. Every industry is different, so we tailor the wash to what your uniforms actually need. If you have an unusual item or special request, just ask. We’re happy to accommodate.
Restaurant & Food Service Uniforms
Chef coats, server shirts, kitchen aprons, dishwasher uniforms, bartender wear, and catering staff apparel. We deal with grease, cooking oil, sauce stains, and the kind of build-up that develops across a busy Saturday rush. Restaurants from Manhasset to Huntington count on us for crisp uniforms night after night. We also offer towel rental for restaurants that need a steady supply of clean kitchen towels.
Medical & Healthcare Uniforms
Scrubs, lab coats, nursing uniforms, dental office attire, and vet clinic workwear. Medical uniforms are thoroughly cleaned with hot water and commercial-grade detergent to professional standards. For facilities with broader linen needs like gowns, sheets, and lab linens, see our medical and healthcare laundry service.
Corporate & Office Uniforms
Polo shirts, dress shirts, branded apparel, and company-logoed workwear. We take care with embroidered logos and printed graphics so they hold up wash after wash. Roosevelt Field commercial businesses, downtown corporate offices, and front-facing teams across Long Island count on us. We keep their teams looking sharp.
Service & Trade Uniforms
Plumber uniforms, landscaper crews, electrician shirts, HVAC tech workwear, cleaning company staff, and pest control uniforms. If your team is out on job sites across Long Island and comes home with dirt, sweat, and everyday wear, we get them cleaned up and back to looking professional.
Fitness & Recreation Uniforms
Gym staff shirts, personal trainer polos, country club employee attire, and adult recreational sports league uniforms. For high school, middle school, or college athletic uniforms, our dedicated School & Sports Laundry service handles those needs. Gyms and fitness centers that also need towel service can visit our towel laundry service page.
Hospitality & Security Uniforms
Hotel staff uniforms, housekeeping attire, valet shirts, security guard uniforms, government agency apparel, esthetician and spa staff uniforms. We handle specific folding and hanging requests so uniforms are ready to wear the moment we deliver. For hotel property operations with broader linen needs (sheets, towels, guest linens), see our hotel linen laundry service.
Built for Long Island Commercial Uniform Programs
Commercial uniform programs don’t run on a Monday–Friday schedule, they run on shift cycles. A restaurant server starting a 5pm shift needs that apron ready by 4. A medical practice opening Monday morning needs scrubs hung and waiting Sunday night. A service crew rolling out Monday needs polos ready the night before. A corporate team prepping for a trade show needs embroidered polos cleaned and ready before the event.
That’s why our uniform laundry service is built around your operational schedule, not ours.
We set up a routine pickup and return schedule at your business based on how your operation actually runs. Daily during busy multi‑shift weeks. Weekly during steady periods. Event‑driven for seasonal businesses. Pickup at the time you choose, and delivery the next day, folded or hung, exactly how your team prefers.
We also adjust the wash process to match the uniforms you use. Hot‑water cycles for grease‑heavy items like kitchen aprons, and chef coats. Cold water cycles for delicate pieces like corporate polos, embroidered apparel, and branded uniforms. Everything is processed at our Glen Cove facility with the goal of keeping your uniforms clean, consistent, and long‑lasting.
What if my business needs same-day or emergency uniform turnaround?
Commercial uniform emergencies happen. When something goes wrong, call us first. Same‑day pickup and delivery isn’t part of our regular commercial route schedule because those routes run tight and planned. But same‑day drop‑off is always available at our Glen Cove facility, bring it in earlier in the day and we’ll turn it around same‑day through our Wash & Fold Drop‑Off service.
For true emergencies, call Anthony directly at (516) 674‑4123. We’ll do everything we can to help, whether that means re‑routing a driver mid‑day or moving your load to the front of the production line.

Long Island Uniform Laundry Service Pricing
Our commercial uniform laundry minimum is $35 per pickup. Most commercial accounts comfortably exceed this on a single pickup. So the minimum rarely affects the price. The per-pound rate is custom-quoted based on four factors. Most commercial accounts pay less than our standard $1.95 per pound rate.
Laundry Volume:
How many pounds of uniforms per week. Higher volume gets a lower per-pound rate.
Service Frequency:
Daily during multi-shift weeks, weekly during steady periods, or on-demand for seasonal operations. More frequent service is often more economical per pound.
Item Mix:
Server shirts versus medical scrubs versus heavy work uniforms versus corporate polos. Chef coats and aprons (high grease) priced differently from corporate polos (delicate). Embroidered and printed uniforms get extra handling care.
Location & Turnaround Time Needed:
Businesses closer to our Glen Cove facility see lower pricing thanks to shorter routes. Flexibility on turnaround helps. 48-hour processing instead of next-day priority often quotes a lower per-pound rate. Most of our 65 service areas get next-day turnaround. A smaller group of further-out Suffolk locations runs on 48-hour standard.
What's included in your quote:
- Pickup and delivery, always free, no fuel surcharges, no service fees
- Commercial detergents and fabric softener
- Stain pre-treatment included
- Custom folding and packaging
- No weekend upcharges, no peak-season upcharges
No long-term contracts required. Commercial accounts run month-to-month. We earn your business with every pickup, not with a signed commitment. For uniform programs with seasonal volume changes, scale up or down with ease.
Full pricing details for our other services are on our Pricing page.

Customer-Owned Uniforms vs Uniform Rental
Most Long Island commercial uniform programs have two realistic options. A national or regional uniform rental company that supplies and launders the uniforms. Or a local laundry service that cleans uniforms you already own. Both models have legitimate use cases. Here’s how they compare.
The Uniform Rental Model
With uniform rental, the provider owns the uniforms. You pay a monthly rental fee plus a cleaning fee, and your team wears whatever comes from the provider’s standard stock. Contracts usually run 3–5 years, and you’re charged for damaged or missing items. This model works best for operations that need pressed dress uniforms or go through uniforms quickly. National companies like Cintas, UniFirst, Aramark, Alsco, and medical specialists like ImageFIRST, focus on this type of program.
How the Customer-Owned Model Works (what we do):
You own your uniforms. We clean them. That’s the whole model. You choose the uniform brand, style, fit, and replacement schedule. Your branded apparel and embroidered logos stay yours. We handle the cleaning side professionally at a price for cleaning alone, not cleaning plus a rental markup.
Honest Positioning: What We Don't Do
Our laundry service is fold or hang only. We do not press uniform items via laundry service. For pressed uniform items, our dry cleaning service handles the pressing side. Dress shirts. Polos that need crisp finish. Chef coats for formal service. Branded apparel for trade shows. And if your operation requires pressed formal dress uniforms across the entire team daily, uniform rental may be the better fit for those specific items.
Why This Matters for Long Island Commercial Operations
Long Island has a deep commercial market across every business tier. Independent service trade operators. Corporate offices. Medical practices. Restaurant groups. The pressed dress uniform requirement isn’t universal across that range. Many restaurants, medical practices, service trades, fitness operations, and corporate offices use uniforms that don’t need pressing. Customer-owned operational laundry means you’re not paying for items you don’t need. No standardized stock you didn’t choose. No multi-year contract when your business mix changes. Your uniform program stays yours.
Trade-Offs With Uniform Rental
- Multi-year contract commitments with auto-renewal clauses
- Per-item damage fees on uniforms you don't own
- Less inventory control (you use provider's stock)
- Cancellation often difficult
With Customer-Owned Uniforms
- You keep your own brand and inventory
- One price for cleaning, pickup, and delivery
- Month-to-month flexibility for seasonal volume changes
- No per-item damage fees on items you own
If you’re considering switching from uniform rental, or just want to compare options before your contract renewal, call Anthony at (516) 674-4123. He’ll walk through what the transition would look like for your specific uniform program.
Operational Details That Protect Your Uniform Investment
Uniform investment is a real line item for commercial customers. Branded apparel is expensive: embroidered logos, custom fits, color-matched inventory across a team. A stained uniform, a faded logo, a misshapen polo can mean replacement cost. These operational details are what we do every load to keep that from happening.
Every Account Washed Separately
Your laundry is washed by itself. Every load. Every time. We don’t batch it with other customers’ loads, not other uniform accounts, not commercial accounts, not residential. This is true for every customer we serve.
Water Temperature Matched to Uniform Type
Different uniforms need different water temperatures. Hot water washes for grease heavy items like restaurant aprons, chef coats, mechanic coveralls, dirt stained landscape uniforms. Cool water washes for delicate items like corporate polos with embroidered logos, branded apparel, color-safe items. Cold water rinse for sensitive scrubs and color-fast preservation. Standard part of our process, no extra charge.
Premium Detergents and Stain Treatment
Tide or Gain for standard wash. Downy for softener. Bounce for dryer sheets. Shout for stain pre-treatment on aprons, work uniforms, and embroidered apparel. For whites requiring brightening (chef coats, white scrubs, white server uniforms), we use Clorox bleach. For color-safe stain treatment on colored items, OxiClean. For staff with allergies or sensitivities, All Free & Clear or Dreft is available on request. Both are fragrance-free and dye-free.
Stain Inspection on Every Load
Every load is inspected for stains during processing. We pre-treat with Shout and re-wash to lift tough operational stains. Sweat on server polos. Grease and food spills on restaurant aprons and chef coats. Grass stains and dirt on landscape and athletic uniforms. Paint and ink on service and trade uniforms. The build-up that comes from busy weeks. We also preserve embroidered logos through this process so company branding stays crisp wash after wash.
If a stain doesn’t lift after treatment, we let you know. We don’t return damaged items without flagging them. That protects your inventory and tells you what’s actually happening with your uniforms across operational cycles. Which polos are wearing out. Which aprons are taking permanent stains. Which scrubs need replacement.
If your operation uses bar towels or kitchen rags alongside uniforms, see our Towel Laundry Service.

Uniform Laundry Service FAQs for Long Island Businesses
- What types of businesses use your uniform laundry service?
We serve commercial uniform programs across Long Island for restaurants, medical and dental practices, corporate offices, service trades (plumber, HVAC, electrician, landscape, cleaning), hospitality operations, fitness operations, esthetician and spa businesses, summer camps, and government agencies. Active accounts range from small operations with 3 employees to large operations with 300+ staff in uniform.
- Do you press uniforms or only fold and hang?
Our laundry service is fold or hang only, no pressing. For pressed uniform items (dress shirts, crisp polos, formal chef coats, branded apparel), our dry cleaning service handles the pressing side. If your operation requires pressed formal dress uniforms daily across the entire team, uniform rental from Cintas, UniFirst, Aramark, or Alsco may be a better fit for those specific items.
- How fast is turnaround for uniform laundry?
Most Nassau and close-in Suffolk businesses get next-day turnaround on routine pickup and delivery service at their location. A smaller group of further-out Suffolk businesses gets 48-hour turnaround. For urgent same-day needs, drop-off at our Glen Cove facility is always available. Drop off by 11am for same-day return through our Wash & Fold Drop-Off page. For emergencies, call Anthony directly at (516) 674-4123.
- How much does uniform laundry service cost?
Uniform laundry pricing is custom based on volume, frequency, item mix, and location. Higher volume gets a lower per-pound rate while the $35 minimum stays the same. Businesses closer to Glen Cove see lower pricing thanks to shorter routes. Flexibility on turnaround helps too. Most commercial accounts pay less than our standard $1.95 per pound residential rate. No surcharges, no upcharges.
- Do I have to sign a long-term contract for uniform laundry service?
No. We never require contracts. You can use our uniform laundry service weekly, daily, or on-demand, and change or cancel anytime. There are no cancellation fees and no long-term commitments. We keep your business by doing great work, not with a contract.
- Will my uniforms be washed with other businesses' laundry?
Your laundry is washed by itself. Every load. Every time. We don't mix it with other customers' loads, not other uniform accounts, not commercial accounts, not residential. If you have specific detergent, water temperature, or folding preferences, we follow them on every single load. This is true for every customer we serve.
- What's the difference between uniform laundry service and uniform rental companies?
Uniform rental companies like Cintas, UniFirst, Aramark, Alsco, and ImageFIRST own the uniforms and rent them on multi-year contracts (typically 3-5 years) with per-piece fees and standardized stock. Our service cleans the uniforms you already own: no rental fees, no contracts, pay-by-the-pound pricing. You keep control over styles, brands, and replacement. For pressed formal dress uniforms team-wide, rental may be the better fit. For customer-owned operational uniforms, we're the better fit.
