the spins
laundry is a chore.
the brand is the reason you'll remember.
The Spins runs the operational layer on top of Exeter laundromats. You hand off the bag, we do the running around — wash, dry, fold, back at your door inside 48 hours.

- 03Founder Bag™ included.Big, branded, anti-loss tagged. Replaces the IKEA blue bag with something you actually want to carry.
- 04Mixtape in every cycle.QR-coded Spotify playlist on the bag, fresh each drop. Curated by student DJs and local promoters.
four steps. one bag. no thinking.
If you can put it in a bag, we can wash it. The system was built for the version of you that is hungover, slept-through-an-alarm, and somehow has no clean socks.
book a pickup
Choose your slot online. Tuesday morning, Thursday evening, whatever fits. One tap once your card's saved.
leave the bag
Outside your door, in the hall lobby — wherever we agree. We text when we arrive. No queue. No quarters.
we spin it
Wash, dry, fold. Photographed at pickup and handback. You get SMS updates the whole way through.
back at yours
Inside 48 hours. Folded. Smelling clean. With this cycle's mixtape QR taped to the side.
the bag is the brand.
and the bag gets better.
Every Founder gets a Standard bag at launch. The more cycles you do, the better the bag gets. Stitched upgrades, hidden tags, embroidered detail. You don't ask for them. They show up.
Legend bags are earned in person at the termly party. Never auto-mailed. That's the point.
the founder's guarantee
Any week we miss a pickup or return your laundry late — that week is free.
And if you ever quit because we let you down — not because you graduated, moved out, or just lost interest — we'll write a £20 cheque to your favourite Exeter society as an apology.
Conditional. Named. With teeth. Because we mean it.
for the parent reading over their shoulder.
The Spins is run by one student, in Exeter, with insurance, a Companies House filing, and a real guarantee. Here's what that looks like.
- Monthly SMS to you."Your kid did laundry this week." That's the whole peace-of-mind subscription. Off by default — only sent if your kid opts you in.
- Locked-in Founder pricing.£90 for the term as long as your kid is at Exeter. No annual hikes, no surprise top-ups, no creep.
- Insured, ICO-registered, trademarked.Public liability cover, GDPR-compliant data handling, registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. Trademark application filed at UK IPO.
- Cancel any time.Reply STOP. No re-billing, no exit form. And if we let your kid down, we send £20 to their favourite Exeter society on the way out.
- One person. Same face. Your kid's phone.It's the same student every week — Leander, in person, with your kid's name in his phone. Not a gig driver who's never been to Exeter.
what the monthly text looks like:
One text a month. Plain English. No marketing.
i'm not a laundry company.
i'm just a student who got fed up.
I'm Leander. I'm starting at Exeter this September. I talked to a lot of students. They all said the same thing: the laundrette's a queue, the machines in halls are constantly broken, and a Sunday spent on it is a Sunday wasted.
So I'm doing something about it. I've spent months designing the bag, building the brand, lining up laundromat partners. The Spins is a real service with real insurance and a real guarantee — but it's run by one person, on a bike, with a trailer.
The Founder Cohort is the first 50 households I take on. Locked-in rate for as long as you're at Exeter. Free Founder Bag. Invite to the launch party. Your name's on the wall at the partner laundrette.
After that, the price goes up — and I close the route until I've got more capacity. So if you want in, get in now.
laundry is our job.
the party is yours.
