Tide University Laundry

(972)-620-8588

Baylor Campus Living and Learning has partnered with Tide Cleaners to offer you laundry service.

The Baylor experience is full of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities; by enrolling in Tide Cleaners’ wash & fold service, you save up to 80 more hours over the academic year to invest in academics and campus life. Tide Cleaners is offered as a more time conscious solution than do-it-yourself laundry. We recommend you register for service and invest the time you save into something that makes your Baylor experience incredible.

Students and faculty can bring dirty laundry to the blue Tide bin located in the following residence halls: North Russell, South Russell, Heritage House, Brooks College, Penland, Collins, Alexander, Earle, and Teal. Tide Cleaners separates by color, then washes, dries, and folds your clothes into a tidy package for return to campus as soon as they’re ready. Service runs August - May. Payment for wash & fold service will be handled separately by Tide Cleaners, a Procter & Gamble company. If you have any questions, please contact Tide Cleaners directly.
