How Ta'Da Laundry Pick-Up & Delivery Works in Rogers Park

Ta'Da Laundry Pick-Up & Delivery takes laundry off your list in six steps: book in our app, we pick it up, wash, dry and fold it at our Devon Ave store, and deliver it back in a 30-minute window you choose. Prices start at $1.99 per pound, detergent included.

If you live in Rogers Park, Edgewater, West Ridge or nearby, you already know the drill. You haul a heavy bag down the block, hunt for quarters, and hope the machines are working. Then you spend half your Sunday waiting on a dryer. We built Ta'Da Pick-Up & Delivery so you never have to do that again.

This guide covers exactly how it works, what it costs, what happens to your clothes behind the scenes, and how to get the best value out of every order.

How Ta'Da Pick-Up & Delivery works, step by step

Think of it like grocery delivery, but for laundry. You tap a few buttons, and clean, folded clothes show up at your door.

1. Download the app. Get the Ta'Da Laundry Co. app on the Apple App Store or Google Play and create your account.
2. Schedule your pickup. Choose the pickup time that works best for you. Pick your turnaround: same-day (8 hours), next-day (24 hours) or two-day (48 hours). Add any special instructions, like "separate whites and darks" or "fragrance-free detergent."
3. We pick it up and weigh it. Your driver collects your bag and brings it to our Devon Ave store. We weigh it and text you the total weight and price, so you know your exact cost before we start.
4. We wash, dry, fold and bag it. Our team inspects, pretreats, washes, dries, folds and bags your laundry using professional equipment and detergent we provide.
5. You choose your delivery time. When your order is done, we text you. You pick a delivery time that suits you.
6. We deliver it. Your driver arrives within your chosen 30-minute window with fresh, folded laundry.

That's it. No quarters, no detergent to buy, and no carrying a 30-pound bag down Devon.

How much does laundry pick-up & delivery cost?

You pay by the pound, based on how fast you want your laundry back. Detergent is always included, and there's a 20 lb minimum per order.

Turnaround                        Price per pound

Two-day (48 hours)          $1.99

Next-day (24 hours)          $2.40

Same-day (8 hours)          $2.90

What a typical order costs: most orders weigh about 30 lbs. On two-day turnaround, that's $59.70 before delivery.

Delivery charge: Our drivers' fees are based on Uber and Lyft pricing, so the charge depends on how far you are from our store. The closer you are to Devon Ave, the less you pay.

Specialty items

Bulky and delicate items are priced per piece, plus the delivery charge.

Item                                             Price

King/Queen comforter           $29.95 each

Twin/Full comforter                 $24.95 each

Winter coat                               $28.00 each

General jacket                          $15.00 each

Large dog bed                         $15.00 each

Small dog bed                          $10.00 each

Sneaker cleaning                    $25.00 per pair

Hat cleaning                             $15.00 per hat

No subscriptions. You only pay when you order. More on why below.

Which turnaround should you choose?

Our honest recommendation: choose next-day. It's what most of our customers pick, and for good reason. About half the time, we finish next-day orders the same day, so you often get same-day speed at the next-day price.

• Same-day (8 hours): For when you're in a pinch. Your laundry must reach our store by 10 AM, and it's ready by 6 PM. Book an early pickup window to make the cutoff. We can't guarantee same-day for laundry that arrives after 10 AM.
• Next-day (24 hours): The sweet spot for speed and price.
• Two-day (48 hours): The best value at $1.99/lb, if you can plan a little ahead.

We hit our turnaround times 100% of the time. If we promise it, it's ready.

What happens to your laundry behind the scenes

Handing over your clothes takes trust. Here's exactly what we do to earn it.

• Your order is never mixed with anyone else's. Before your driver ever reaches your door, they stop at Ta'Da to pick up a tag assigned to your order. That tag goes on your bag at pickup and stays with your laundry until it's back in your hands.
• Every item is inspected twice. We check each piece for stains or damage before washing, then again fresh out of the dryer. If we spot a damaged item, we message you.
• Stains get pretreated. We treat stains before anything goes in the washer, which gives them the best chance of coming out.
• Colors are protected. Want whites and darks washed separately? Just add it to your special instructions. Otherwise, we wash them together with a color catcher so nothing bleeds.
• Machines are sanitized before every cycle. Our hydro water purification system sanitizes each washer before every wash. That's a level of clean you won't get from a shared building laundry room, or from someone else's washer at home.
• You choose your detergent. Detergent is always included, and we offer hypoallergenic and fragrance-free options.
• Folded like it came from a store. We use folding boards for shirts and towels, so everything comes back uniform and stacks neatly in your drawers. Smaller items like baby clothes are folded by hand, and yes, we pair your socks.
• Nothing in your pockets gets lost. If we find something in a pocket, we put it in a small bag with the rest of your laundry and text you to let you know.

The team behind the folding boards

Every Ta'Da order is handled by trained staff in our own store, not by contractors working out of their apartments.

Our team is led by General Manager Brandon. Brandon brings experience managing teams at large-scale events, plus the attention to detail he built working in the software industry. That mix of people leadership and process thinking is exactly what keeps every order accurate and on time.

Brandon trains every team member using the Ta'Da Way, our in-house playbook that documents everything we do and how we do it. It covers order processing, folding standards, machine operation and customer care. The same standards apply to the store itself: the team follows a 50-point cleaning checklist that covers every corner, including the utility room most customers never see.

Why we do pick-up & delivery differently

Ta'Da founder David spent 20+ years launching and scaling businesses before opening our Devon Ave store. Looking at the laundry industry, he saw one that still ran the way it did 20 years ago, with outdated machines, little technology, and almost no attention to the customer experience.

Pick-up & delivery is the next chore people are ready to hand off, the same way Instacart and grocery delivery changed how we shop. But how it's done matters.

Professionals, not gig workers. Many app-based laundry services send your clothes home with independent contractors, who wash them in their own machines with their own supplies. You don't know the condition of those machines or how that person was trained. At Ta'Da, your laundry is processed in our store, on commercial equipment sanitized before every cycle, by staff trained to one standard.

No subscriptions. We deliberately don't offer subscription plans. We think most people have subscription fatigue. It's easy to forget you signed up, then feel burned when you notice months of charges for a service you didn't use. That's not how we want anyone to feel about Ta'Da. You order when you need us and pay only for what you send.

Real stories from our neighbors

The same team, machines and standards behind our pick-up & delivery service handle every order at our Devon Ave store. Here's what that looks like for real customers.

The vacation save

Mya was about to leave on vacation. She had a full workday ahead, nothing packed, and a pile of laundry to deal with. She stopped by before work, unsure whether we even offered same-day wash and fold. We did, and it cost less than she expected. She planned to pick it up after work, but her laundry was done early enough that she grabbed it on her lunch break.

With pick-up & delivery, she wouldn't even have needed to stop by. Book a same-day pickup by 10 AM, and your laundry is back by evening.

Laundry that's no longer a chore

One of our regulars works in bars and restaurants on weekends. Their old laundromat was a long trek away, and when they got there, machines were often broken, there was nowhere to sit, and they had to haul their own detergent. Because the walk was so far, they could only carry half their dirty clothes at a time.

Now that Ta'Da is close by, detergent is included, and there's comfortable seating to work on a laptop, they told us their whole outlook on laundry has changed. Another customer admitted they were dirtying clothes faster just to come back. We'll take it.

Who uses Ta'Da Pick-Up & Delivery?

Our pick-up & delivery customers are mostly busy working professionals, single or married, who would rather spend their free time enjoying life than sorting socks. Dual-income families are another big group. If laundry keeps eating your evenings and weekends, this service was built for you.

Before your first order: FAQs

• How do I prepare my laundry? No special prep needed. Put everything in a bag and check your pockets for personal items. That's it.
• Can I give special instructions? Yes. Add them in the app when you book: separate whites and darks, fragrance-free detergent, or anything else you'd like us to know.
• Is there anything you can't wash? We can't wash leather items. The one exception is leather sneakers, which go to our Sneaker & Hat Spa for professional cleaning.
• Can I send comforters, coats or dog beds? Yes. These are priced as specialty items (see the pricing table above), and you can add rush service to get them back faster.
• How do I know what I'll pay? We weigh your laundry when it arrives and text you the weight and price. Your total is the per-pound rate for your turnaround, plus any specialty items and the delivery charge.
• What if something is lost or damaged? We work hard to prevent problems: tagged orders, two inspections, stain pretreatment, and a text if we find damage or items in your pockets. Please note that Ta'Da isn't responsible for lost or damaged items, so leave anything irreplaceable out of your bag. [Link to full terms]
• Is there a minimum? Yes, 20 lbs per order. Most orders are around 30 lbs.

A note from our founder

"I started Ta'Da because laundry is something nearly everyone in Chicago has to do, yet people were stuck going to run-down laundromats with bad or no service, old machines, dingy stores and tons of quarters. I set out to build a piece of the community where laundry isn't a chore; it's a small win during your week. Fresh clothes come with fresh energy. You should be able to choose how you do your laundry, whether that's dropping it off, doing it yourself in a fun, clean space, or scheduling a pickup right from your phone. Ta'Da is for people who value their time, their space and their peace of mind. We're not just cleaning clothes. We're raising the standard for what a laundromat can be."

David, Founder, Ta'Da Laundry Co.
