With the amount of lazy students in Cape Town, this is definitely going to be a winner in times to come. We are all looking for ways to make our lives less of a mission, and, these guys have thrown out a helping hand for everyone who HATES doing their laundry! Packing it all, lugging it down to the car, dropping it off, collecting it, unpacking it.. I’m already fed up and we haven’t even started folding yet!
WASHR is the new online laundry app, who basically offer a full service, around the clock laundry service. But that’s enough from me, here’s a word from the guys behind this rad initiative!
If you are hunched over your work, spilling sandwich crumbs on the keyboard or frantically ticking off chores on your to-do list, this could indicate your life is starting to burst at the seams when it comes to your time. Most hard worker South Africans put 60-80 hours per week at the office. According to a recent survey, 6 hours and 59 minutes is the perfect amount of free time in a day. Instead, 80% of workers surveyed said their leisure time was eroded by their busy days, leaving us on average, just 2 hours and 45 minutes of free time a day.
With growing pressures of modern life, this situation can only get worse Laundry is time consuming and the average urban professional dedicates 2.5 hours weekly to laundry and dry cleaning. Having 70 percent of young professionals reporting laundry as their least favorite household duty, laundry gets behind on the day-to-day duties that keep us organized and smart. Replacing regular laundry with an efficient service is the equivalent of getting an extra 3 weeks of free time each year.
Washr’s mission is to free people from undesirable household duties by offering an innovative laundry and dry cleaning service. Requesting Washr’s services is as easy as:
Place Order: Fill out a form with your address and a convenient time and Washr will be right over.
Pick Up: Washr’s friendly staff will appear at your doorstep ready to collect & take care of your laundry.
Delivery: Your clean clothes delivered within 24 hours.
I don’t think I need to convince you anymore than that to at least try them out and see for yourself… You can check out their website at washr.co.za/, follow them on Twitter @WashrZA or keep up with them on their Facebook page!
