💩 Why it's ugly

Laundromats hide lint in vents, behind machines, under dryers, and inside every gap designed by someone who never cleaned one. Add detergent sludge, lost socks, hot dust, and midnight foot traffic.

💰 Why it prints money

Owners need lint removed for fire risk reduction, machine efficiency, uptime, and basic customer experience. The market is less crowded than residential dryer vent cleaning, and one owner may control multiple stores.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
