The Real Cost of Doing Laundry at Home vs. Using a Pickup Service

Most people assume that doing laundry at home is the cheaper option. But when you add up the real costs — water, electricity, detergent, and your time — it’s not always the budget-friendly solution it seems.

Let’s break down what it really costs to do laundry yourself vs. having Washwell pick it up, clean it professionally, and deliver it back ready to wear.

🧾 DIY Laundry: What You're Actually Paying For

Here’s a look at common costs per load (based on Metro Manila averages):

• If your time is worth ₱100–₱150/hr (as a working professional), the time cost quickly adds up.

And this doesn’t include:

• Machine maintenance or depreciation
• Cost of drying racks or laundry storage
• Missed opportunities (work, rest, family time)

🚚 Washwell Pickup & Delivery: What You Get

For ₱XXX/load (insert your actual rate), Washwell handles:

• Pickup and delivery
• Sorting, washing, drying, folding or pressing
• Professional stain treatment (when needed)
• No utility or supply costs
• No time wasted doing chores

It’s all done for you — using hotel-grade care we’ve perfected over 15+ years of servicing 5-star hotels.

🕒 Time is Money — and Laundry Eats It

Let’s say you do laundry twice a week. That’s 3–4 hours lost to:

• Sorting and separating
• Waiting for cycles to finish
• Folding and pressing
• And let’s be honest — most people put off folding for days.

Washwell gives those hours back to you.
