Drop off your laundry in-store, and an attendant will weigh it, note your detergent preference, and give you an order ticket. We wash, dry, and fold your laundry, then text you when it’s ready for pickup.
We wash with Tide Original by default. If you’d prefer a fragrance-free option, just ask for Tide Free & Gentle at no extra charge.

Every pickup and delivery order is taken to City Suds by Off Main Laundromat at 101 Pajaro Street in Salinas, our full-service location and the home of our wash and fold service. We chose City Suds to process every order because it’s run by the same family behind Off Main Laundromat, with more than 30 years of laundry experience. The facility is spotless and well maintained, and our professional, trained staff handle every order with care, from sorting and stain pretreatment to folding and packaging. With commercial washers up to 120 pounds, your laundry is washed, dried, and folded efficiently and ready for delivery, typically within 24–48 hours.

We have two laundromats in Salinas:

- City Suds by Off Main Laundromat, 101 Pajaro St., Salinas, CA 93901: self-service plus wash and fold drop-off.
Both are part of the Off Main Laundromat family. Off Main Laundromat on Main Street is our newly renovated, self-service-only store with brand-new Speed Queen machines. City Suds by Off Main Laundromat on Pajaro Street is our full-service location: it offers self-service machines, too, and it’s where we accept wash and fold drop-off orders and process every pickup and delivery order.
At Off Main Laundromat, our Speed Queen washers range from 20-pound top loaders up to 80-pound front loaders. City Suds goes even bigger, with washers up to 120 pounds. Either way, comforters, sleeping bags, and bulky loads have a machine sized to fit.
Both locations are coinless. At Off Main Laundromat, tap to pay at any machine with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, or use a reusable $1 SpyderWash loyalty card. At City Suds, machines run on a $1 Laundroworks laundry card that you load with cash, credit, or debit at the in-store kiosk. Each location uses its own card.
Both locations give you bonus money when you reload your laundry card: add $10 and get a $1 bonus, or add $20 and get a $3 bonus. At City Suds, you can also add $50 and get a $5 bonus, or add $100 and get a $10 bonus. Ask an attendant for details.
