If there’s one thing all parents can agree on, it’s that having kids means you’ll be doing lots and lots of laundry. From the moment you bring them home until they’re tossing their socks on the floor of their rooms as teens, the piles of clothes, whether they’re dirty or clean, never go away. What if there was a way to (literally) lighten the load? A new on-demand laundry service has just come to North Texas, and if getting your laundry done is something you’d love to check off your to-do list permanently, NoScrubs could be the perfect fit.

Co-founder and CEO, Matt O’Connor, launched Instacart in Austin, so he’s no stranger to helping people make their busy lives easier. "Unfortunately, the laundry burden usually falls on moms. I grew up with a working mom who didn't have time to do the family's laundry. When people would come over, we would make sure to shut the laundry room door because the floor was covered in laundry waiting to be done," he says.
