Surrey, BC – For anyone typing "laundromat near me open 24 hours in Canada" into their phone at midnight with a basket of dirty washing, LaundryOnApp is positioning itself as the answer that doesn't involve driving anywhere at all.

The company runs a laundry pickup, delivery and drop-off service out of Surrey, BC, and its pitch is fairly simple: instead of hunting down a laundromat that happens to be open at an odd hour, customers book through the app whenever suits them and someone else handles the actual washing. It's not a coin-operated machine sitting in a strip mall. It's more like outsourcing the whole errand.

"People searching for a 24-hour laundromat are usually doing it because something's gone wrong with their normal routine," said Amrit Sandhu, who oversees operations at LaundryOnApp. "Maybe the washer at home's broken, maybe they're behind on laundry and need it sorted before work tomorrow. We can't put a laundromat on every corner, but we can make sure someone's available to help whenever that need comes up."

That flexibility runs through most of what the company has built. The laundry drop-off service in Surrey, for instance, lets customers leave their bags at a partner location on their own schedule instead of waiting for a courier to show up during a set window. It's aimed at exactly the kind of person who'd otherwise be scrolling through laundromat listings at 11pm, trying to figure out which one is genuinely open and which one just forgot to update their hours online.

Delta customers have been telling a similar story for a while now. LaundryOnApp has built up a decent reputation as one of the best laundry services in Delta, particularly with people who don't have their own washer or who'd rather not spend an evening babysitting a load of towels at a laundromat. Reviews tend to mention the same two things: it's straightforward to book, and the pricing doesn't have any nasty surprises tacked on at the end.

On that pricing, the model is weight-based rather than a flat per-visit fee. A basic wash and dry costs one rate, a full wash, dry, iron and fold costs more, and extras like bleach, fabric softener, scent or dryer sheets are optional add-ons priced on top. There's an unscented, hypoallergenic option too, for anyone who's ever stood in a laundromat wincing at the smell of someone else's fabric softener.

Whether the "24 hours" framing fully applies depends on what someone's actually looking for. LaundryOnApp isn't claiming to have a physical location with the lights on around the clock. What it is claiming is that booking, scheduling and drop-off flexibility work around the customer's day rather than a laundromat's posted hours, which for a lot of people solves the same underlying problem. If the actual need is "get my laundry done without it eating my evening," the app route arguably does more than a genuinely 24-hour laundromat would anyway, since nobody has to sit there waiting for a cycle to finish.

There's an obvious limitation worth mentioning too. Not every job suits a pickup-and-delivery model, and the company has stated policies around what it won't take on, including anything contaminated or clearly unsanitary, and size limits on bulky items like large comforters. It's a sensible boundary rather than a marketing angle, but anyone expecting a same-minute fix for an overflowing hamper at 3am should know there's still a booking and turnaround process involved, even if it's considerably less hassle than loading a car and finding parking outside a laundromat.

Sandhu was candid that the company's growth has come from solving practical, slightly unglamorous problems rather than chasing headlines. People don't get excited about laundry until it's genuinely inconvenient, and that's usually the exact moment they start searching for whatever's open, whatever's nearby, whatever will just make the problem go away. LaundryOnApp's bet is that being available and predictable, even without a physical 24-hour storefront, beats being the nearest open laundromat that may or may not actually have free machines when someone gets there.

For now, the company's footprint remains centred on Surrey and Delta, with drop-off and pickup options covering most of the demand that would otherwise send someone searching for an open laundromat late at night. There's no suggestion this replaces every laundromat trip, particularly for anyone who genuinely needs a machine in the next twenty minutes, but for routine loads, awkward schedules and the kind of laundry that's been piling up for two weeks, it's being pitched as the less stressful option.
