Week 9 (#3): SpotlessCity

SpotlessCity is a new website that allows users to find a dry cleaner or laundromat in their area that will pickup and return their laundry, without the user ever needing to leave his house. Although pickup and delivery services previously existed, this is the first online-based service of its kind.


How It Works:
1) Enter in your address to find all of your local dry cleaners and laundromats
2) Select a dry cleaner and schedule a FREE pickup and delivery
3) Sit back and relax! Your dry cleaner will pickup, clean and deliver your clothes back to your home


The service puts the responsibility on the dry cleaner to follow through with the order, and SpotlessCity doesn't take a cut from the customer but instead gets a payment from the dry cleaner for streamlining their business. Dry cleaners in SpotlessCity's network operate in the Village, SoHo, the Upper East Side in Manhattan, in and around Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn, and are expanding to all of NYC shortly.

SpotlessCity's mission is: "To make city life more livable, one load at a time."
