LaundryHeap, a UK-based laundry and dry cleaning service with same day collection and delivery within 24 hours, has successfully secured its initial £850,000 funding target on equity crowdfunding platform Seedrs. As previously reported, the company described itself as the “Uber for Laundry.” LaundryHeap is based in London and has already expanded to Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin, and Dubai. The company stated:
“We are following the steps of companies like Uber and Deliveroo, bringing existing industries to the booming ‘on-demand economy’. Customers can book directly on our website or via our iOS and Android apps, with just one click. They have the option to track their driver on a map in real time, which makes the experience incomparable to traditional laundry and dry-cleaning services. We believe that this is a highly scalable model, as we are working with third party facilities for the cleaning and with self-employed drivers for the deliveries.”
To use the laundry service, customers simply book through the company’s website or mobile apps. The company’s scouts then pick up and deliver to customer’s doors within a 24 hour period.

All funds from the Seedrs round will be used to continue the expansion of LaundryHeap’s services. The campaign is set to close later this winter.
