This is just an anecdote. Once a year, i go on a two week business trip where i work 8-5 for 14 days straight. I always send a load of laundry out towards the middle. Its usually one load, and for straight wash and fold, picked up and delivered, its $30-40.

I love the experience of getting clean, folded clothes back. If i were rich, I’d live like that.

When I first saw 1000 thread count sheets, I wondered if they would be as nice as that shirt. "1000 thread count\* sheets are a lie. They roll 3 threads into a yarn, and sell you a _333 yarn_ sheet that’s rough to the touch.
