What are my options if my apartment has no washer or dryer?

If your Salt Lake City apartment has no washer, your main options are: laundromats (3+ hours per trip), shared building laundry rooms (often full or broken), mobile laundry vans (weather-dependent), or pickup and delivery services like Foam that handle everything for $25 per week with same-day turnaround.

Is laundry pickup service worth it for apartment renters?

Yes, especially for apartments without in-unit laundry. Laundry pickup eliminates hauling bags through elevators, waiting for shared machines, and spending 3+ hours at laundromats. At $25 per week with Foam, you save time and often money compared to laundromat costs plus transportation and your hourly value.

How much does it cost to use shared apartment laundry vs pickup service?

Shared apartment laundry typically costs $2-4 per wash and $2-4 per dry cycle, totaling $8-16 per week plus your time. Foam costs $25 per week flat with no hidden fees, no quarters needed, and zero time spent doing laundry yourself. Many renters find pickup service is actually cheaper when you factor in convenience.

Can I use laundry pickup service in my apartment building?

Yes, Foam serves most Salt Lake City apartments including downtown high-rises, Sugar House complexes, The Avenues, and University of Utah housing. You can leave your laundry bag outside your door, with your concierge, or in a designated pickup spot. Check your zip code at cart.foamlaundry.co to confirm coverage.

What if my apartment has shared laundry but it is always full?

Shared laundry rooms in Salt Lake City apartments are notoriously busy, especially evenings and weekends. Instead of waiting for machines or doing laundry at midnight, you can use Foam to schedule pickup when convenient for you. No more competing for machines or finding out they are all broken.

Do I need to buy a washer and dryer for my apartment?

No, many Salt Lake City renters skip buying washers entirely. A washer and dryer set costs $800-1200 upfront, requires hookups, increases utility bills, and needs maintenance. Foam costs $25 per week with no equipment investment, no installation, and you can pause or cancel anytime if you move or your needs change.
