100 Faces of Small Business – Read our story!

Last month, at The Laundry Lady, we were very humbled to be named one of the QLD Government’s 100 Faces of Small Business! The program showcases the human stories behind our state’s diverse small businesses and highlights their unique experiences and inspiring stories. It aims to inspire others to start, grow and employ more staff for their own small business.

What you might not know about the Laundry Lady is that we now hire 11 independent contractors throughout Southeast Queensland. All of our contractors are mums or grandmothers, who want a flexible working arrangement that they can work around their kids, lifestyle and other commitments. They want to be their own boss, work on their own terms, and work from their own homes. The Laundry Lady model offers that, and we are growing all the time!

By supporting The Laundry Lady you truly are supporting small business, local business!

Mobile Laundry Service now available on the Sunshine Coast

The Laundry Lady is excited to announce we are now providing our mobile laundry service to residents and businesses on the Sunshine Coast.

Our Laundry Lady Sarah has joined our team and is ready to pickup your washing and ironing from Peregian in the north, to Caloundra in the South!

Our business has been established on the Gold Coast for 5 years and we are now bringing our popular services to Brisbane and Sunshine Coast. Our Laundry Lady will come to you, collect your washing or ironing and bring it back to you the next day.

Our services are very popular with busy families who love the extra time a laundry service pickup can save them on their weekends and getting ready each morning. There are also lots of retired people who no longer want to do their own washing or ironing, and love that we can do this for them without them even needing to leave the house! And it’s much easier then lugging your washing along to a laundromat if you don’t have a washing machine!

We also service businesses who might need towels, sheets, uniforms, linen washed or ironed, particularly beauty salons, acupuncturists, massage therapists, daycare centres, medical centres, worksites, real estates and more. We specialise in airbnb and can service your hotel guests with their laundry needs as well.

Our 24hour turnaround, easy online booking, and pickup and delivery services mean you can finally get on top of your laundry and save yourself time!

But don’t take our word for it! Check out some of our customer reviews and see for yourself.

Check our Sunshine Coast page for a list of suburbs we currently service. If we are not in your suburb let us know and we will see what we can do. We can also arrange to meet you at work or in a carpark in the service area!

We’re hiring! Join the Laundry Lady team and start your own work from home business

Before I started The Laundry Lady, I had a corporate career working 9-5 (plus all the extra hours!). I loved the work and loved the lifestyle. Then I become a mum. Balancing work with being the mum I wanted to be suddenly became very complicated. I know this is something that many working mums question when they first return to work. Maybe they find a “part-time” compromise that works for a few years, until the kids start school and the reality of the 3pm school pickup sets in. Maybe they are lucky enough to have an employer who supports and allows flexible working hours. Many don’t. Maybe they quit work altogether and struggle to survive on one family income. The struggle is real!

This is why I started The Laundry Lady. My entrepreneurial spirit craved my own business. Something where I could be my own boss, work my own hours, be there for my kids, balance family life, AND earn income for the family budget. When my kids were young I wanted to have time for mothers group, for swimming lessons, for coffee catchups. When my kids started school I wanted to have time to volunteer for reading time at school, go on the excursions, be at the school concert, watch the athletics carnival. I knew these were things I couldn’t do working in the “traditional” way. I knew my existing career would not support this. So I decided to jump in head first into something completely different… and The Laundry Lady was born.

This business has allowed me to do all of those things and more. When my kids have been sick I could be at home with them. In school holidays we have plenty of time together. I’m able to schedule my work around these things. Sometimes it means doing a bit more work at night after the kids are in bed so I can have the daytime with my kids, I get to choose when to work, when it suits me. The benefit is bringing in constant income for my family, but not missing out on the things that really matter.

I love being my own boss. I love the flexibility. I love choosing when I work. I love being able to watch TV while I work in my own home!!

I also love the difference The Laundry Lady makes in people’s lives. Unless you live in a nudist community, laundry is ongoing, never ending. Sometimes it can be overwhelming for people. Sometimes people just need a little help at home to keep going. We’ve had customers who are new mums and need extra support so they can concentrate on their new babies. We’ve had customers with injuries stuck in hospital who just want clean clothes. We’ve had customers suffering illness that impairs them. We’ve had customers whose washing machine has broken and haven’t had clean clothes for weeks. The gratitude from these people when you help them with their laundry can be so rewarding.

My vision for The Laundry Lady was always to develop a business that would support other people to start their own business. Other working mums. Other stay at home mums. Other stay at home dads. People who couldn’t find suitable work with an “employer”. People who craved their own business, to be their own boss. People who wanted to work from home for whatever reason.

We now have Laundry Lady contractors throughout Brisbane and Gold Coast and we are looking to expand our team. We have big goals to grow in 2018, and you could be part of that! We are now recruiting in:

  • Sydney northern suburbs
  • Sunshine Coast
  • Brisbane Western suburbs and inner city

You get to be your own boss, run your own business, choose the hours you work. We offer training, marketing, support and an online booking system unique for the industry. This really is a rewarding business that you can setup around your life.
