AFTER having a laundry epiphany, a hustler has turned dirty clothes into a million-dollar money maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laurel Hess is the co-founder of a company called\u00a0Hampr<\/a>, a service that outsources all of your laundry needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As laundry became a nuisance to the mom of two, Laurel decided to turn her pain into profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laurel told Time.com<\/a>, “I had a stay-at-home mom friend who was always asking if she could do things for my marketing company to earn extra money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “She couldn\u2019t shop for Instacart, she couldn\u2019t drive for Uber \u2014 she had five kids at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I told her I didn\u2019t have any work but offered my laundry as a way to earn extra money,” she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was then that Laurel realized there was an entire market for people who needed to make extra cash<\/a> from the comfort of their own homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After successfully pitching the idea to the partners at the marketing firm she worked for, they collaborated on turning this concept into a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Much like other convenience apps such as Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart, Hampr provides a service to those looking for a little help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The personal laundry app customizes all of your laundry needs – from temperatures down to detergents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customers can choose whether their clothes are sorted by family member, color, detergent preference or even soil level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Users just input all the details about their laundry into the app and a “washr” will wash each load according to their specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once they are finished, the washr will return them fresh, clean, and folded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company launched in 2020 and has over 10,000 users on its platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In total, 500 of them are called “washrs” which are contractors who pick up and wash clothes for Hampr members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start, you must download the free Hampr app, and choose your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customers have the option of two plans: hampr Lite or hampr Loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hampr Lite is pay-as-you-go. Lite users can utilize the service without an annual membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This plan allows you to use 13-gallon kitchen bags to place your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just note that one bag is equal to one load and the cost per load depends on your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hampr Loaded is a full membership that comes with four antimicrobial hampers, access to promo codes, and same-day orders where available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The annual membership for this plan is $39 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your plan is picked, users will then be given a welcome kit with four pop-up hampers, instructions, and QR codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You then load up your laundry, schedule your order, and a washr will pick up, wash, dry, fold or hang, and deliver your laundry within 24 hours or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Hampr, the company has over 500 washrs with their top earner averaging $2,000 in a four-week period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to be eligible, hampr washrs must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washrs are paid 70 percent of what Hampr charges per hampr\/load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, Hampr charges a service fee on orders of less than four loads with washrs receiving a portion of that fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washrs get paid weekly with the money being deposited directly into your bank account by Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, washrs keep 100 percent of all tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As always, keep in mind that any extra income is taxable<\/a> and must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plenty of other laundry services too, simply search on Google to see what’s available in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun reveals how a hustler makes $39,000<\/a> a month taking old buttons and making them into necklaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is Hampr?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
