MONZIT compares hotel laundry rates with app-based wash-and-fold pricing in New York City

MONZIT is using a New York City price comparison to show how travelers may save on laundry by using its app-based wash-and-fold service instead of hotel laundry. The example puts a $249 hotel bill against MONZIT’s $49 offer for up to 15 pounds, underscoring how sharply laundry costs can vary.

Why it matters: - Travelers in New York City can face steep hotel laundry charges that quickly add up during a trip. - MONZIT is positioning app-based laundry pickup and wash-and-fold as a lower-cost alternative for hotel guests, Airbnb visitors and other travelers. - The company’s comparison suggests potential savings of $200, or about 80%, under the example used.

What happened: - MONZIT published a comparison of one New York City hotel’s listed laundry prices with its own wash-and-fold service pricing. - The hotel example priced cleaning 27 everyday clothing items at $249. - MONZIT priced wash-and-fold service at $49 for up to 15 pounds of laundry. - MONZIT said the service is available through the U.S. App Store, Google Play and online booking at more information.

The details: - The hotel price list in the example included men's shirts, pants, T-shirts, undershorts and socks, plus ladies' blouses, T-shirts, bras, panties and handkerchiefs. - The listed items totaled $249 across 27 garments. - The comparison assumes the garments would qualify for MONZIT wash-and-fold service and weigh no more than 15 pounds. - MONZIT connects customers with local drivers, independent washers and laundromats for laundry pickup, wash-and-fold service and next-day return to hotels, Airbnb properties or other accommodations. - The service includes app ordering, on-demand pickup, upfront pricing at pickup, 24-hour turnaround and provider selection. - MONZIT also offers optional ironing.

Between the lines: - The comparison is designed to frame laundry as another trip expense where app-based services can undercut hotel convenience pricing. - The example also highlights MONZIT’s reliance on independent local gig workers and laundromats as part of its service model. - Founder and CEO Franco Lagudi said the company wants to help travelers keep more money in their pocket while supporting local providers.

What's next: - MONZIT will likely continue using price comparisons to highlight cost differences between hotel laundry and on-demand service. - Actual savings will vary based on hotel rates, garment weight, wash-and-fold eligibility and the provider selected. - Travelers weighing convenience against cost may compare hotel pricing with app-based pickup before ordering laundry service.

The bottom line: - MONZIT is betting that clear upfront pricing and next-day service can pull travelers away from expensive hotel laundry options.
