    Taking Out The Wash

    New Dallas on-demand services take the drudgery out of doing laundry

    We're busy in Dallas, and anytime we can get something delivered — fresh groceries, booze, cars, tacos — we're on board. Thanks to a boost from technology, Dallas now has two on-demand laundry services that are guaranteed to make life — or at least chores — easier.

    Residents in Uptown, Park Cities, Lakewood and North Dallas can mark washing, folding and dry cleaning off their to-do list with help from Laundri. In fact, there’s not much Laundri won’t clean: pet beds, tablecloths, sleeping bags, pretty much any soft goods that can be transported. Log in via the website — apps for Android and iOS are launching within the next couple of weeks — to schedule your laundry pickup. Keep an eye out for a shoe shine service starting in August.

    “Dallas is a great city for technology and especially for on-demand tech,” says co-founder David Burrows. “Our soft launch was in Highland Park earlier this year and people are going crazy for it.” And with good reason. Laundri’s 24-hour turnaround — and same-day service offered on Saturdays — makes it easy to look fresh and fabulous.

    And because we love companies that give back to the community, Laundri gets extra props for partnering with local charities in need of clothing and bed linens. Got a pile of old clothes you keep meaning to haul off to GoodWill? Ask your Laundri driver to pick up your donation on his or her next trip. Laundri will even wash, fold and bundle the donation items before delivering it to the local organization. To date, Laundri has donated more than 700 pounds of clothing to Genesis Women’s Shelter. David and co-founder John Sanchez are actively looking for more local organizations to help in the future.

    North Texas laundry-phobes can take advantage of a similar on-demand service from Wash-It-Kwik. Servicing all of Denton County, Frisco, The Colony, Lewisville and the Argyle/Lantana area, Wash-It-Kwik utilizes WashClub’s pickup and delivery service that lets you track your laundry in real time.

    With roots in Brooklyn, WashClub was born from a lack of customer service in the laundry industry. Founder and president Rick Rome realized about 10 months after opening his laundry business that poor communication, sub-par service and inconsistent cleaning were fairly standard.

    “I wanted to create a synonymous experience for my customers,” Rick said. “People have called us the Uber of laundry service, but that’s not quite right. We don’t contract out drivers; they all work for us. We want to be a trusted source for our customers and that’s one way we do it.”

    On delivery day, customers receive a text message or email alert when the driver is about 30 minutes away and can track their delivery in real time. More North Texas zip codes are slated to be added throughout the year.

    Dallas excels as one of America's best cities to start a career

    Dallas is the second-best Texas city to start a career.

    College graduates staying in Dallas are in the right place, according to a new WalletHub study. Dallas has made the top-15 on a new list of the best places in America for starting a career.

    Dallas ranked 12th out of 182 U.S. cities based on its quality of life and vast opportunities for new college graduates transitioning into the workforce. The study compared each city based on 25 relevant metrics, like the availability of entry-level jobs, each city's annual job growth rate, workforce diversity, median annual income, housing affordability, and others.

    Atlanta, Orlando, and Austin respectively comprised the top three best places to start a career.

    Dallas ranked No. 11 nationwide for its professional opportunities for new college graduates, and appeared 69th overall for its quality of life. Whether its starting a new business or entering a high-earning job field, Dallas has many more opportunities than the vast majority of other cities on the list.

    "The best cities for starting a career not only have a lot of job opportunities but also provide substantial income growth potential and satisfying work conditions," said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo. "It’s also important to consider factors such as how fun a city is to live in or how good of a place it is for raising a family, to ensure life satisfaction outside of your career."

    Three more North Texas cities made it into the top 100 best U.S. cities for early career professionals include Plano (No. 32), Irving (No. 42), and Fort Worth (No. 64).

    Other Texas hotspots for early career professionals
    Austin boasts the best quality of life out of all 182 cities in the report, and the 10th best professional opportunities. The state capital also outperformed all other U.S. cities with the highest monthly average starting salaries for early career workers after being adjusted for the city's cost of living. Austin also offers the 15th highest number of entry level jobs per capita, the report said.

    "In addition, Austin’s median annual household income is the 10th-highest in the nation, providing strong earning potential for those starting a career or a business," the report said. "Austin is also the sixth best city for singles, offering a vibrant social scene alongside strong career opportunities for young professionals."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Houston ranked 51st on the list, Amarillo ranked 73rd, and San Antonio was No. 85.

    The top 10 best cities for starting a career are:

    • No. 1 – Atlanta, Georgia
    • No. 2 – Orlando, Florida
    • No. 3 – Austin, Texas
    • No. 4 – Tampa, Florida
    • No. 5 – Miami, Florida
    • No. 6 – Charleston, South Carolina
    • No. 7 – Pittsburgh
    • No. 8 – Knoxville, Tennessee
    • No. 9 – Salt Lake City, Utah
    • No. 10 – Columbia, South Carolina
