How Much is 20lbs of Laundry?
If you're on our Standard Plan, each pickup includes 20 pounds of laundry. But what does that actually look like?
To give you a clearer picture, here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect to fit into a 20lb order:
🧺 Typical 20lb Load Includes:
3–5 pairs of jeans
5–7 t-shirts
2–3 hoodies or sweatshirts
7–10 pairs of underwear
7–10 pairs of socks
1 set of bed sheets and pillowcases
1 towel or 2 small towels
This can vary slightly based on fabric weight, clothing size, and if your laundry is damp or dry when weighed—but overall, 20lbs is enough for one average-sized person’s laundry for a week.
👖 Approximate Weight of Individual Items:
