15382_590387704415843_9103239887356069894_nI do my own laundry and it sucks. It’s not waiting for a rinse from the machine that I hate, but the ironing especially on a lazy weekend after a whole week of toiling or evening at a party.

Sending them to Laundromat bothers me. You never know whose’ clothes or beddings he’s going to mix to save time as definately no one wants to stare at a waching machine the whole morning doing noisy rounds in the name of laundry.

Washist.com, a new and innovative on-demand laundry service has launched its operations in Lagos to help busy professionals like you and me to do our laundry via our mobile phones.

Promising convenience, top-notch  and a price efficient service, Washist.com is simple to use. You just fill in your details; Name, Address, Phone Number and Email, and a Washist will contact you to schedule a pickup of your laundry. Also, you’ll receive email and SMS notifications from Washist on the status of your lovely clothes from pickup to final delivery.

1962883_590407584413855_1927938631483145628_nWashist charges a very affordable flat monthly fee for its services and picks up your items 3 times in a month. A laundry bag is provided on your first pick-up. There is no extra charge for pick up and delivery of your items.

With investments from Oluwafemi Taiwo, Co-Founder of PrivateProperty.com.ng, Washist says the “major challenge faced by most busy professionals is the quality of service offered by their regular washman. The team has therefore put up its own style with own washing instructions and its trained personnel to ensure your clothes are long lasting, looking crisp and smelling fresh.

Washist“As an upwardly mobile professional, I found it tedious to make out time to do my laundry, I am also too busy to sort and drop my clothes at the dry cleaners/laundromat,” says Oluwadare Ajayi, MD of Washist. ” When Oluwadare spoke to me on the idea, I was sold on it as it’s a necessity for busy working class professionals. I also liked the fact that with a few clicks on a website, you could order for your laundry to be picked-up, washed, ironed and delivered”

Washist will pick up and deliver your clothes at most locations within Lagos and unlike other laundry services and it promises to be available round the clock and you can get started by simply requesting a pickup of your laundry online at www.washist.com.

It’s major competition is Kleen.ng and Washfly.
