How I Finally Washed All The Stuff in My Costume Box
This post is made possible by the fine folks at Tumble. Get your laundry picked up in 30 minutes & delivered back clean and folded in 4 hours, for only $30 when you sign up right here.
If there’s one thing that we love to do in San Francisco, it’s put on weird costumes and party. Whether it’s Bay to Breakers, How Weird Street Festival, Burning Man, Halloween, or whatever bizarre new “holiday” ends up on the calendar this year, partying in random outfits is our specialty.
But most of us have a very dirty secret: none of the stuff in our costume boxes has ever been washed. Ok, maybe some articles were washed like seven years ago because something egregious happened during Santa Con, but you and I both know that most of your costumes are filthy.
I mean, who wants to spend a bunch of time and money washing a decade’s worth of costumes?
Luckily, there’s Tumble!
With Tumble you get:
Same-Day, Lightning Fast Laundry: Your laundry is picked up in 30 mins and dropped off within four hours!
Price Per Bag, Not Per Pound: While other local S.F. laundry services leave you to add up mystery math, Tumble’s flat pricing makes handing over your precious laundry a ‘no-brainer’.
In-App Tracking, Real-Time Status: Get mobile notifications using Tumble’s app so you can keep tabs on your laundry, and leave more time for planning your next wild outfit.

I had A LOT of costumes that hadn’t been washed in a very long time – if ever – so I teamed up with Tumble to make the hilarious video below:
