What Cleanly does
We started Cleanly to create an alternative to your typical laundry and dry cleaning experience. An alternative where delivery occurs at the tap of a button and happens around your schedule. Where people are friendly and knowledgeable about the way your clothes are treated. Cleanly checks one item off your to-do list: Laundry day, done. Learn more about Cleanly on our website:

Company
Cleanly
Laundry & Dry Cleaning delivered
We built Cleanly to simplify laundry and dry cleaning by handling pickup and delivery on the customer's schedule, all at the tap of a button. Our service connects people with trustworthy cleaning professionals and handles everything from order to delivery so you never have to visit a dry cleaner in person.
We live in New York, NY and our company is based here. After YC, we would continue building from New York.
New York is where the demand for convenient laundry delivery is highest, and it's where we've built relationships with cleaners and customers. Being local helps us solve logistics and service quality directly.
