Laundry Service Request Guide

UI Laundry Service charges $1.75 to wash/sanitize your lab coat.  Lab groups needing to set up an account shall:

  1. Create an Inter-Departmental Requisition
  2. Print and provide signatures in the end user and departmental approver sections located in the lower, left-hand corner. 
  3. Email the signed requisition to: melanie-shifflett@uiowa.edu, UI Laundry Service.  
  4. Melanie will provide you with an assigned lab group number.  

If you already have an account number set up:

1. Gather all items you would like to have laundered into a laundry bag. If you need a laundry bag please send an email to melanie-shifflett@uiowa.edu. to request one.

2. Once you have the items bagged up please fill out a laundry checklist form in Chemistry Stores. These are currently located on the front desk. Fill out the checklist form and attach it to your bag of laundry by taping or stapling it to your bag. Place the bag of laundry with checklist attached within the yellow laundry bin outside of the shipping and receiving room located next to Chemistry Stores. 

Pick-Up Times:

Laundry will be picked up every Wednesday at 8AM. Please have your laundry bag placed in the proper pick up area with the checklist attached by Tuesday afternoon to ensure it is picked up on time.

Clean Laundry:

Laundered items will be returned within 7 days. Which means they should be available to be picked up by the following Wednesday.
