I know of at least three laundromats within a few blocks of my apartment here in SF that offer dropoff wash and fold, at last check at about half the price of the pickup services I looked into (standard pricing, not promotions). I think the market for people willing to pay significantly more for what is honestly not much more convenient (they need access to your building or sometimes apartment, you have less control over the dropoff and pickup times, etc) is quite small. Investors funding "Uber for X"-style startups generally seem to miss the things that make Uber work so well -- on-demand low-trust service that fully replaces the alternative. Cleaning my house or doing my laundry can't effectively be done on-demand, and done in a scheduled manner involves a trust relationship too extreme to rely on reputation/rating systems.
