Just looked at their pricing, that's a bit high...

They'd be charging me almost as much just to do wash & fold than I pay for someone to clean my whole house....

So the $70 a month plan seems interesting. I spend maybe an hour on and off doing laundry a week. Add in time to start and stop whatever I’m doing so let’s say 1.5. So that’s 6 hours a month. That’s a touch less than $12 an hour. My time according to work is more valuable than that.

I can see it being worth it for people who make a decent income and spend that time doing something else. It’s pretty much the same as any service for things that need to be done regularly. As your time becomes more valuable, it makes sense to delegate those tasks off.
