Putting the Balance Between Life and Laundry: Meet Desiree C. Huff of Balance Wash and Fold

Virginia Beach, VA – In the bustling city of Virginia Beach, one local entrepreneur is making waves in the laundry industry with a unique approach to balancing life’s demands. Desiree C. Huff, owner and CEO of Balance Wash And Fold, has created a business that not only cleans clothes but also gives time back to busy families and individuals.

Desiree’s journey into the laundry business began with her own experiences as a single mother of two. “I would work just like any other single parent, eight to five, Monday to Friday,” she recalls. “When it was time to do laundry, I noticed that I was at the laundromat for at least three to four hours. That’s another part-time job!” This realization sparked an idea: create a service that would free up time for parents, professionals, and anyone else struggling to keep up with their laundry needs. In 2015, Balance Wash and Fold was born, with a mission to put the balance between life and laundry.

Balance Wash And Fold offers a range of services including wash, fold, steaming, ironing, and hang-dry options. What sets them apart, according to Desiree, is their personalized approach. “Our services are catered to each individual family, not just a client,” she explains. “We provide exceptional customer service and make the experience more personal.” The business operates on a pickup and delivery model, servicing Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and parts of Chesapeake. With convenient evening hours on weekdays and weekend availability, Balance Wash And Fold caters to a diverse clientele including college students, military families, busy professionals, and the elderly.

As a long-time Virginia Beach resident who grew up in the Seatack area, Desiree embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of the city. “The best thing about Virginia Beach is the opportunity to reinvent yourself,” she says. “The city offers a lot of resources for small businesses, including certifications, trades, and great business mentor programs.” This support has allowed Desiree to grow Balance Wash And Fold while also pursuing other entrepreneurial ventures.

Desiree’s professional background extends beyond the laundry business. As a certified medical biller and coder, she brings a wealth of experience to her business operations. Her expertise in this field was recognized when she received a prestigious “Leading by Example” award from Centura College, where she previously worked as the lead medical billing and coding instructor. This accolade underscores Desiree’s commitment to excellence in all her endeavors.

Outside of her business, Desiree finds time to give back to her community. She volunteers with her daughter’s dance team. This involvement showcases her commitment to balancing work and family life – a principle at the core of her business. When she’s not working or volunteering, Desiree enjoys dancing and spending quality time with her children. “They really do revitalize me after a long work week,” she shares.

As Balance Wash And Fold continues to attract more clients, Desiree has her sights set on expansion to cover more areas. Her vision for growth doesn’t stop with residential clients; Desiree is also looking to expand into the commercial sector. “In the future, I’m looking to work more with commercial accounts like barbershops, nail shops, hair salons, restaurants, massage therapists, and gyms,” she reveals, highlighting her ambitious plans for the business.

For those considering using a laundry pickup and delivery service, Desiree offers this advice: “It’s okay to ask for help with your laundry. We’re here to make your life easier and ensure your clothes are clean, fresh, and well-cared for.”

With its commitment to quality service and work-life balance, Balance Wash And Fold is more than just a laundry service – it’s a testament to the ingenuity and determination of local entrepreneurs like Desiree C. Huff who are making a difference in their communities, one load of laundry at a time. As she continues to grow her business and explore new opportunities, Desiree remains dedicated to her core mission: helping people find the perfect balance between life and laundry.
