Laundry is truly one of the pain points of living in New York City. No one wants to spend their time at a laundromat, waste time dropping off dry cleaning, or lugging a bag full of clothes up to the fourth floor of a walk-up apartment.But finding a laundromat nearby that offers fair pricing as well as pick-up/drop-off can be difficult. YC-backed Cleanly wants to change that.Cleanly’s mobile app offers on-demand laundry pick-up in less than 30 minutes with a 24-hour turnaround. 

Cleanly, a just-launched laundry and dry cleaning delivery service, lets busy New Yorkers schedule pickup of their soiled clothes and delivery of fresh, clean ones.
