Question Laundry by the pound

Are there any cleaners that do your laundry, and charge by the pound? I'm new to the area, and first time w/o a washer/dryer and don't much like the idea of wasting my time in a laundry mat.

4th and queen does per lb., as well as the laundry around 8th-9th on south(on the south side of the street).

There's also a service called wewashit:

They pickup and drop off your laundry for the ultimate in leisure. Used them up until married life-and we also used them when the washer was broken-they do a pretty good job, and are very nice people.

Looks like its now a buck a pound...they also do dry cleaning.

They bring the stuff back in bags unless requested, so washed shirts may need additional ironing. I never used their drycleaning.

Default 4th and queen laundry

we used the laundry services at the laundromat on 4th and queen for about a year but at some point we noticed that one of the fellas that worked there was smoking either inside or very near the door.The clothes then came home smelling like we were smokers and ended up having to be febreezed just to be worn and that ended up creeping me out.

10th and ellsworth - .85/lb (10 lb. minimum)

honestly, it's so much cheaper to just do your own laundry and just spend the 45 minutes or so that you're there catching up on something that you'd normally do while you were doing laundry.

i certainly wouldn't want strange hands fondling my laundry.
