Quick answer
A wash-and-fold pickup bag is for everyday washable laundry: clothes, towels, socks, gym gear and washable basics. Keep delicate items, heavy stains, unsafe items, sharp objects and anything with special instructions out of the bag unless you ask first. The bag should close comfortably before pickup.
Step by step
- Add everyday washable laundry. Clothes, towels, gym wear, socks and washable basics are usually a good fit.
- Keep special-care items separate. Do not include delicate items, unsafe items or pieces that need unusual handling without asking first.
- Check for sharp objects. Empty pockets and keep anything sharp or unsafe out of the bag.
- Close the bag comfortably. Overfilled bags can be harder to carry and may move to the next size.
- Tell us useful notes. Building access, pickup location or detergent questions should be included before pickup.
How Davenport handles standard wash
