We Do Laundry is a residential and commercial laundry pickup and delivery service operating across Christchurch, New Zealand, since 2024. The service follows a simple four-step process: free pick-up from the customer's location, professional washing, careful folding, and free drop-off once the laundry is ready.
We Do Laundry positions itself as a fit for a wide range of customers, including motorhomes and campervans, cruise ships, medical clinics, residential households, hotels, motels and Airbnbs, sports teams, hair salons, and restaurants. Laundry is separated into lights and darks and washed using both hot and cold water cycles on energy-efficient equipment calibrated for optimal fabric care, then folded and packed ready for return. Each customer's laundry is processed individually in its own machine cycle rather than combined with other customers' loads.
The standard turnaround is 2 days at no extra charge, and the service covers a large number of suburbs across Christchurch. Dry cleaning is not currently offered.
For anyone in Christchurch who'd rather skip the laundromat altogether, We Do Laundry offers a straightforward pickup-and-delivery wash service that's been running since 2024. The pitch is simple: they collect your laundry, wash and fold it professionally, and bring it back to you — no drop-off trip required.
The service runs on a four-step process. First, a free pick-up collects laundry directly from the customer's location. From there, items are professionally washed — separated into lights and darks and cycled through both hot and cold water using energy-efficient equipment calibrated for fabric care. Once clean, everything is folded with care and packed up, ready for a free drop-off back to the customer. The standard turnaround is 2 days, and that timeframe is included in the service at no extra fee — though if a customer needs their laundry back sooner, the team says they can make arrangements.
We Do Laundry markets itself to a broad mix of residential and commercial customers. On the road, it's suited to motorhomes, campervans, and even cruise ships needing laundry sorted while docked. On the business side, it serves medical clinics, hotels, motels and Airbnbs, sports teams needing kit washed, hair salons, and restaurants — alongside standard residential households simply wanting laundry taken off their to-do list.
A few operational details set expectations clearly. Each customer's laundry is processed individually in its own machine cycle — it's never combined with anyone else's wash. For a first pick-up, customers can use any bag or basket; after that, a dedicated laundry bag is provided for all future regular services. Customers are asked to check pockets and remove personal items like jewellery, watches or cash before pick-up — while the team does check machines, they're not responsible for damage to items left behind, though anything found is returned in a sealed bag.
Dry cleaning is not currently offered by We Do Laundry, so it's worth checking whether an item is suited to a standard wash cycle before booking. If a customer isn't home when the driver arrives, the service can collect or leave items at an agreed safe place, or a key to a locker or business area can be arranged in advance.
While the wash-fold-return service itself doesn't carry a listed per-load fee in the public information, missed pickup or drop-off slots may incur a $30 charge — something customers can avoid by rescheduling at least 3 hours ahead of their scheduled time. On the payment side, regular clients can be billed weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, while one-off services need to be paid within 3 working days via bank transfer, with details provided on the invoice.
We Do Laundry covers an extensive list of Christchurch suburbs, from Addington and Aranui through to Woolston and Yaldhurst, plus areas like Diamond Harbour and Duvauchelle further out. With that reach, most Christchurch residents and businesses should fall within the service area.
Starting the service is simple — customers send an email or text to arrange a pick-up time that suits them. We Do Laundry can be reached by phone at 021-783-000 or by email at [email protected], and the business is based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
