The same hands, every time

No drop-store counter and no rotating staff. The same small team handles your clothes on every order and learns how you like them.

What You Need

Three ways we care for your clothes

Pick one, combine them, or send everything at once. Same free pickup, same hand-ironing, back in four business days.

Our Signature Service

Cleaned in water, ironed by hand, including your dry clean only pieces.

Every piece gets looked at by hand before anything happens to it. Stains treated individually. Fabrics sorted by what they can actually take. Then washed in water and biodegradable detergent instead of PERC solvent, and ironed one garment at a time. Wet cleaning handles most dry clean only labels safely, wool and silk and lined tailoring included.

Ironing Only

Hand-ironed, so your buttons survive.

A shirt machine clamps your garment between two heated plates and presses everything at once, buttons included. When the pads on that machine wear out, the buttons take the pressure. That is where cracked buttons come from, and shine on the lapels, and a crease down the sleeve that was never supposed to be there. We iron around every button, seam and pleat by hand. It takes longer. Your shirts last longer.

Everyday Laundry

Sorted before it is washed. Never mixed with anyone else's.

Your load is sorted before it is washed. Colors, fabrics and delicates never go in together, and your clothes are never washed with another household's. We pick the detergent for the fabric instead of running one default cycle for everything.

Pricing

  • Wash & Fold$2.50 / lb

Wash & Fold is priced by the pound at $2.50 per lb. Not sure how much you have? Text us a photo of the pile and we will quote it before we pick it up.

The Process

You will always know where your clothes are, and exactly what you sent.

No calling to check on your order and no guessing when we will arrive. You get a text at every step, your order comes back four business days after pickup, and you choose the delivery window.

Schedule Your First Pickup
1

Book your pickup

Book online or by text. Any weekday, Monday through Friday.

2

Get a 30-minute heads-up

We text you 30 minutes before we arrive, so you are not waiting around for a window. Not going to be home? Leave your bag at the door.

3

Get a photo receipt of your pickup

The moment we collect your bag you get a text with a photo and an item count. We take the same photo again at delivery. If anything is ever in question, it is not your word against ours. There is a record.

4

Choose your delivery day and window

You get a text when cleaning starts and another when your order is finished. Standard orders come back four business days after pickup. Then you pick the delivery day and window that suits you, morning, afternoon or evening, with the same 30-minute heads-up before we arrive.

Why EcLife

A personal alternative to the drop-store dry cleaner

Your clothes are never on a rack with two hundred strangers' garments. The same small team handles every piece from pickup to hanger. One of us inspects it and one of us irons it, and we clean in water and biodegradable detergent rather than PERC solvent.

  • 1

    No PERC solvent, ahead of the federal phaseout

    We clean in water and biodegradable detergent. In December 2024 the EPA finalized a rule phasing PERC out of dry cleaning over ten years. We already do not use it.

  • 2

    Hand-ironed, never rushed

    Every garment is ironed by hand, one at a time. This is why four business days and not one.

    We remember how you like your shirts

Our Promise

What we promise on your first order

We are new in San Antonio. We would rather earn your review than borrow someone else's.

✓

"Send us one shirt on your first order. Look at the collar and the buttons when it comes back. If the finish is not better than what your last cleaner gave you, we re-clean it free."

Our first-order promise

No minimum, no card required

✓

"Your bag is photographed and logged at pickup, and again at delivery. You get that record. Nothing about your order depends on anyone remembering it correctly later."

Our accountability promise

A photo receipt on every order

✓

"Four business days, every time. Pick up Tuesday, back Monday. If we are going to be late, you hear it from us before the day it was due, not after."

Our timing promise

Same-day and next-day express available

Send us one shirt. You will see it at the collar.

Free pickup Monday through Friday across 29 San Antonio neighborhoods. Back in four business days, ironed by hand, on hangers, in a garment bag.
