A Little About Us

Megawash Group is a family run laundry business and operates three laundromats, two in Northern California and another in Sparks, NV. All laundromats provide self-service, drop off laundry and pickup and delivery laundry service. We operate our businesses on three principles:

1. Sustainability
First, the washers and dryer in our facilities are typically more energy and water efficient than your home laundry equipment. For example, a top loader washing machine holds 12 pounds of laundry (one load) and uses the same amount of water as a 40-pound (four loads) front load machine. The front load washers are efficient washers and are much better at removing stains and preventing fabric damage than top loader washers. That is why all of our locations have around 90% front load commercial washers. When you come in, help ease the water crisis in NorCal and Nevada try one of our front loader machines.

From the NY Times: "Fabric care: A good washing machine should be able to remove stains and odors while minimizing wear or damage to fabric. In our tests, we’ve found that front-loaders almost always accomplish this better than top-loaders…"

Second, Megawash Laundry uses Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) delivery vans in our fleet to delivery laundry. CNG vehicles are environmentally friendly as they have far less tailpipe emissions than their gas or diesel counterparts. They also average 22 MPG so they are very energy efficient. With little carbon deposits from natural gas, we only have to change the oil every 15 thousand miles (so three times less used oil to recycle!) and the vehicle’s engine will last much longer due to less carbon buildup.

2. Employee and Customer Focused
What we learned from the Covid-19 pandemic is if we take care of our employees they in turn will help us take care of our customers. We try and offer our employees a living wage and as many benefits as we can afford to. We always promote from within, and we create a career path for those willing and able to take on new responsibilities. Free laundry and employee discounts are some of the benefits we provide to our staff. Some staff members have been with us since we first opened over 5 years ago, and we value their ongoing contributions and loyalty. All of our customers enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi at all of our locations. We have multiple TVs that we tune to major sporting events. Each location has a convenience store and/or vending machines so you can purchase a cold beverage or eat a snack while you do your laundry. Our laundromat layouts includes plentiful seating and open space with large folding tables. This is the ideal set up for a virtual office to work and do your laundry at the same time.

Laundry machines can be started with coins, laundry card or via an app depending upon which location you are visiting. Some of our customers are too busy or unable to do their laundry due to disabilities. We started our laundry drop off service to accommodate them. This next day service allows you to drop off your laundry in typically less than 4 minutes and get on with your busy life. Our staff will wash, dry and fold it and call you the next day when it is ready.

We enhanced this service by adding laundry pickup and delivery service. You can create an account using a web or mobile phone browser and then order laundry service on demand. Our friendly drivers will come to your home or business to pick up your laundry at a scheduled time and bring it back the next day washed, dried and folded. We include one complementary reusable laundry bag with this service. This is part of our sustainability initiative. We prefer to use a reusable laundry bag that we wash, dry and sanitize with each visit instead of single use plastic that adds to our landfill problems.

3. Community
Megawash Laundry supports many charities and we work with organizations to help solve problems in our communities. Some examples include:

  • Costco Wholesale – Supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals​
  • Inner-city Action – we fund the laundering from the Manteca Homeless Navigation Center
  • Washoe County Human Services Agency – we provide laundry service to launder clothing from the Our Place Homeless Navigation Center
  • Manteca Chamber of Commerce – we executed a project to launder over 4,000 US Flags that are used around the City of Manteca to celebrate national holidays like Veteran’s Day and the 4th of July
  • Work with local school districts to provide laundry services for families with students who are experiencing homelessness
