Ahh, summer in Boston, long days, sunny skies, Red Sox games, and… never-ending laundry? It’s true, as much as we love summer, it comes with its fair share of extra laundry loads. That’s exactly why reliable summer laundry services are a must for busy Bostonians.

Here’s your ultimate guide to surviving the summer laundry surge stress-free.
Key Takeaways:
- Summer means more laundry. Sweaty clothes, beach towels, and bedding pile up fast.

- Columbus Cleaners offers Wash & Fold, Shirt Laundry, and Household Item care to keep everything fresh.

1. Summer Means More Laundry. Here’s Why
If you feel like your laundry basket fills up twice as fast during the summer months, you’re not imagining things. The combination of heat, humidity, and summer fun leads to:
- Heat & Sweat: Hot weather increases perspiration, meaning shirts, shorts, activewear, and pajamas need washing more often.
- Bedding & Towels: Traveling, outdoor adventures, and sweaty nights lead to more frequent laundering of sheets and towels. We recommend weekly washes.
- Grime Buildup: Sunscreen, sand, grass stains, and outdoor allergens all contribute to needing extra cleanings, a summer laundry surge.
2. The Secret Weapon: Professional Wash & Fold
Let’s be honest, no one wants to spend their summer evenings stuck doing laundry. Our Wash & Fold service makes it easy to stay on top of laundry without sacrificing your free time. Simply drop off your laundry (or schedule a pickup, more on that in a minute), and we’ll wash, dry, and neatly fold your clothes. It’s that easy.
Perfect for:
- Every day summer clothes
- Workout gear
- Beach towels
- Lightweight blankets
Pro Tip: Get in the habit of sending in your beach towels and workout clothes weekly to avoid that musty smell that tends to sneak up during humid months.
3. Keep Your Shirts Crisp and Summer-Ready
Button-downs, polos, and linen shirts are summer staples in Boston, but keeping them looking fresh can be a challenge with the heat and humidity. Our professional Shirt Laundry service ensures your shirts stay crisp, stain-free, and ready to impress, whether you’re heading to the office, a rooftop bar, or a family BBQ.
We handle the washing, pressing, and searching, so your shirts look their best all summer long.
4. Don’t Forget Household Items
Summer isn’t just hard on your clothes; your household linens take a hit too. From BBQ sauce spills on tablecloths to sandy beach blankets, it’s easy to overlook these items until they start to look or smell less than fresh.
At Columbus Cleaners, we clean:
- Summer bedding and sheets
- Cushion covers
- Beach blankets
- Table linens
A quick refresh can make your home feel clean, cool, and inviting, exactly what you want for summer entertaining.
5. The Ultimate Time-Saver: Pickup & Delivery
Boston traffic? No thanks. Finding parking on Newbury Street? Forget about it.
With our Pickup & Delivery laundry service, staying on top of summer laundry is completely hassle-free. We’ll come to your home or office, pick up your laundry, and deliver it fresh, clean, and folded. No lugging heavy bags around the city. It’s perfect for busy families, high-rise residents, or anyone who’d rather be at the beach than the laundromat.
6. One More Summer Laundry Hack: Rotate Your Closet
Summer is the perfect time to declutter and simplify. Rotating your closet keeps your wardrobe organized and ensures you only have fresh, weather-appropriate clothes at your fingertips.
Here’s how:
- Pack away heavy sweaters, coats, and winter accessories.
- Bring lightweight fabrics, linens, and summer staples to the front.
- Consider having bulky winter items professionally cleaned and stored — they’ll be fresh and ready for next season.
Not sure where to start? We can help with off-season items like coats, household linens, or specialty fabrics, just ask!
7. Bonus Tips to Keep Clothes Fresh Longer
Want to stretch the time between laundry days? Here are some easy summer laundry hacks:
- Air-dry sweaty clothes when you get home — don’t let them sit balled up in a hamper.
- Rinse swimsuits after each use to prevent chlorine or salt build-up.
- Invest in breathable, natural fabrics like cotton and linen — they stay fresher longer.
- Spot-treat small stains quickly to avoid permanent marks.
Of course, when in doubt, let the pros at Columbus Cleaners handle it for you.
