Laundry Service for Seniors
A safe, gentle, and reliable laundry service designed specifically for seniors and elderly residents. Lux Laundry provides free pickup, professional wash & fold, and home delivery in approved service ZIP codes, so seniors never need to lift heavy laundry again.
How Our Senior Laundry Service Works
Schedule a Pickup
Family members or caregivers can book online or by phone in minutes.
We Pick Up from the Home or Facility
Our friendly driver collects the laundry directly from the residence, apartment, or senior community.
Gentle Professional Wash & Fold
Laundry is cleaned using premium detergents and commercial equipment, with special care for delicate items.
Delivery Back Safely & Neatly Folded
Fresh, clean laundry is returned directly to the senior’s door, neatly folded and easy to put away.
Ordering for a parent?
Often the person booking senior laundry is a son or daughter. Maybe you’ve been driving over every weekend to pick up Mom’s hamper, or you noticed the laundry piling up on your last visit.
You can set everything up for your parent: book the pickups, choose a weekly schedule, and get the updates yourself. Your parent just leaves the bag at the door.
Book from anywhere
You don’t need to live nearby. Create the account, add your parent’s address as the pickup spot, and manage everything online. We pick up Monday through Friday in Bethlehem, Allentown, Whitehall, Catasauqua, Emmaus, Slatington, Easton, Nazareth and nearby towns. Prefer to talk it through? Call or text (484) 246-9163 and we’ll help you set it up.
Updates go to you, too
You get a text when we’re on the way to pick up and when the clean laundry is back. No calling Mom to ask whether the driver came.
No baskets on the stairs
Laundry rooms are often in the basement, and carrying a full basket up and down those stairs is a real fall risk. With pickup, nobody carries anything. We collect the bag right at the door and bring it back to the same spot, washed and folded.
Gentle, careful washing
Every order is washed on its own in commercial machines, never mixed with anyone else’s. Hypoallergenic detergent is available for sensitive skin. Sheets, towels and blankets are welcome. For an oversized comforter, send us the size and care label first so we can confirm.
We’re a family-owned business. Your parent’s laundry is washed by our own staff at our shop on Front Street in Catasauqua, not sent to a third-party plant.
Back the next business day
Picked up Monday, back Tuesday. Friday pickups come back Monday.

What’s Included in Our Senior Laundry Service
Perfect for seniors who want comfort, safety, and reliability.
Pickup service or a helper at home?
Some senior laundry services send a helper into the home to use your parent’s washer and dryer, and charge by the hour. We work differently: we pick up the laundry at the door, wash and fold it at our shop in Catasauqua, and bring it back the next business day.
Helper at home
- Someone comes inside the home
- Uses your parent’s own washer and dryer
- Billed by the hour
- Can also put clothes away or change the sheets
Lux Laundry pickup
- Nobody needs to come inside
- Washed in our commercial machines, never mixed with other orders
- Billed by the pound, with prices listed below
- Monthly plans have no contract and can be cancelled anytime
Monthly Plans
The easiest way to set this up for a parent is a monthly plan. Pick a size, choose a weekly pickup day, and nobody has to remember to book.
Light Load Plan
60 lbs/month
$105
Effective rate: $1.75/lb
Perfect for singles or couples who want a steady laundry routine at a great value.

Every plan includes free pickup and delivery, washing, drying, folding, and text updates for the family. The Light Load plan costs $15 less a month than paying per pound for the same 60 lbs.

My parent doesn’t want help. How do we start?
Many seniors want to keep doing things themselves. A good start is one pickup for the heavy items, like sheets, towels and blankets, while they keep handling the small loads. Your parent can also book it themselves by phone, so it’s their decision.
Do you serve assisted living and senior apartments?
Yes. Add the building name, unit and any front-desk or access instructions when you book, and we’ll pick up and deliver to the door.
Can you wash bedding and heavy blankets?
Yes. Sheets, blankets and many comforters are fine. For an oversized comforter, send us the size and care label first so we can confirm.
Who washes the laundry?
Our own staff at our shop on Front Street in Catasauqua. Every order is washed on its own, never mixed with anyone else’s.
Do I need a smartphone or an app to book?
No. Call or text (484) 246-9163 and we’ll set up the pickups for you. Family members can also book online.
Does someone need to be home for pickup?
No. Leave the bag outside the door on pickup day, and we’ll bring the clean laundry back to the same spot.
Do I need special laundry bags?
No. Any bag works.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly plans have no contract, and you can cancel anytime.
