In recent years, consumers have become more aware of their environmental impact — from the food they eat to the products they use daily. Laundry is no exception. The detergents we wash with, the water and energy we use, and the waste we generate all contribute to our environmental footprint.
At Washry, we believe in offering a premium laundry service that doesn’t compromise the planet. Our eco-friendly laundry service in New Jersey is built on sustainability, innovation, and responsibility. Here’s how we help your clothes — and the earth — stay clean.
The Environmental Impact of Traditional Laundry
Traditional laundry practices can be surprisingly harmful:
-
Harsh chemical detergents affect waterways and aquatic life
-
Excessive water use depletes local resources
-
Energy-heavy machines contribute to carbon emissions
-
Non-recyclable plastic packaging adds to landfill waste
With Washry, we’ve made it our mission to challenge and change these norms.
Eco-Friendly Detergents and Stain Solutions
Our partner cleaners use plant-based, biodegradable detergents that are free from:
-
Phosphates
-
Artificial fragrances
-
Chlorine
-
Optical brighteners
These gentle cleaners are tough on stains but kind to your skin and the environment. Our stain removers are also non-toxic, ensuring garments get a deep clean without harmful chemicals.
Energy-Efficient Machines
Our partnered facilities use high-efficiency washers and dryers that consume less water and electricity than conventional units. This not only reduces environmental strain but ensures faster, more consistent results for every load.
Reusable Packaging and Hampers
Say goodbye to plastic bags. Washry provides reusable laundry hampers and garment bags for both wash and dry-cleaned items. Not only is this more sustainable, but it keeps your clothes organized and protected.
Localized Service for Reduced Emissions
Because Washry partners with local cleaners and drivers across New Jersey, your clothes don’t need to travel far. This local-first approach minimizes fuel use, reduces carbon emissions, and supports neighborhood businesses.
No Waste, No Overuse
Thanks to our app’s precise ordering system, Washry processes only what you need — no overloading, no wasted resources. You can even choose to bundle items by fabric or care level to ensure optimal washing and drying cycles.
Educational Outreach
We don’t just offer eco-friendly laundry; we also help customers make smarter clothing care choices. Our blog, service guides, and in-app tips promote better washing habits, extending the life of garments and reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Sustainable Dry Cleaning
Conventional dry cleaning often uses perchloroethylene, a toxic chemical. Washry supports green dry cleaning through our partners who use liquid CO₂ or hydrocarbon alternatives. These methods are:
-
Non-toxic and odorless
-
Gentle on delicate fabrics
-
Safe for both people and the environment
Eco-Conscious Add-ons
Need extra garment care? Our optional eco-upgrades include:
-
Cold-water wash cycles
-
Air-drying for delicates
-
Low-heat tumble dry
These settings preserve your clothes and lower energy use.

As we grow, our commitment to sustainability grows with us. We’re continuously exploring better, safer ways to serve customers while reducing our ecological footprint. Every pickup is a step toward a cleaner wardrobe and a cleaner world.
