How it works

Three steps, and the hamper stays empty

  1. Request your pickup

    Pick a day and a morning window online, about a minute. We run hourly windows, 7:00am to 1:00pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 7:00am to 11:00am Tuesday and Saturday. We confirm by text and email.

  2. We pick up at your door

    A Timeout driver collects your bag in the window you chose, Monday – Saturday. No need to be home.

  3. Washed, folded, delivered

    We weigh it, wash it your way, fold it, and bring it back to your door within 36 hours on orders under 100 pounds, or 24 hours on Express. You are only charged after weighing.

Say the number

Every price Timeout charges is published. You should not have to fill in a form to find out what a load of laundry costs.

Timeout is $1.40 a pound. Most laundry delivery services around here publish $1.99 to $2.50. The ones that go lower usually attach a delivery fee or a larger minimum on top.

Our minimum is $25, against $30, $35 and $45 at the delivery services nearby.

Published rates, checked August 2026.

Wash and fold rates per pound
DetergentPer pound
Commercial detergent$1.40
Tide$1.65
Gain$1.65
Hypoallergenic$1.75
Express — flat, any detergent$2.00

Minimum order is $25, about 18 pounds at the $1.40 rate, or $40 for Express. Bedding, comforters, bath mats, pet beds and patio cushions are priced per item, so one bulky thing never distorts a per-pound bill.

Why Timeout

Prices you can read before you book

The whole list is on the site: per pound, per item, and every add-on. No quote request, no "contact us for pricing."

The detergent is your choice

Most delivery services wash everything in one commercial detergent. Tell us what you use at home and we will use it, including hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.

An owner who still runs the route

Robert Lindsay runs Timeout himself, with his own drivers. The person accountable for your laundry is not three levels up in a call centre.

We cover the corridor, not "greater Atlanta"

DeKalb County and East Atlanta, focused on the Moreland Avenue corridor. If you are in it, we are close.

Twenty years running operations. Four years doing this.

Robert Lindsay started Timeout Services after two decades managing retail and restaurant teams across two states. Laundry pickup and delivery is a logistics business before it is a laundry business, and that is the part he already knew.

Questions, answered plainly

Before you hand us the hamper

Is there a minimum order?
Yes. $25, which is about 18 pounds at the $1.40 rate. Express has a $40 minimum, 20 pounds at the $2.00 express rate. Smaller bags are welcome, they just come to the minimum.
How soon do I get my laundry back?
36 hours on orders under 100 pounds, or 24 hours if you order Express. Anything picked up Saturday comes back Monday. If your order is bigger than 100 pounds we will tell you when you book, not after.
Can I choose the detergent?
Yes. Commercial, Tide, Gain, or hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. You pick when you book, and we use it every time after that.
Do you do dry cleaning?
Not currently. Timeout is wash and fold, plus bedding and specialty items by the piece.
Do I need to be home?
No. Tell us where to collect and where to leave it, and put the detail in the instructions box once. It stays on your account.
