img6Rocket Internet wants to disupt everything. The firm has today launched a new startup aimed at helping users have their laundry picked and cleaned at the click of a button.

Dubbed ZipJet , the startup aims to help Londoners have their dirty clothing picked from wherever they are and have them returned clean within 24 hours. This comes after  Rocket Internet launched a self storage firm SpaceWays and a food delivery service EatFirst in London.
ZipJet is available on App Store or Google Play and is serving  users in Camden, City of London, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster.
“Behind ZipJet there is a big mission. We all lead busy lives whether we work, study or manage a family. We’re all short on time and too much domestic work keeps us from doing what we love. Saving our customers time for things in life that really matter is what drives us”, says Dr. Marco Sperling, Co-Founder of ZipJet.

Competing other services in London such as Zoots and Laundry Republic ZipJet aims to be Londons biggest on-demand laundry service that collects, washes and delivers clothes within 24 hours. Now serving London, the firm is set to expand into other makerts soon.
