About Us

wake wash team

Wake Wash was launched in the fall of 2007 when three friends, Julie Musgrave, Eleanor Smith, and Scott Graber, grew tired of doing their own laundry. From the beginning, Wake Wash has been committed to providing exceptional service to the Wake Forest community.

Over the past two years, Wake Wash has grown significantly and now includes a physical location in the basement of Luter Residence Hall, a partnership with Salem Dry Cleaners, and several dedicated student employees. The business venture has been a phenomenal learning experience for the three founders and has paved the way for other entreprenuerial businesses on campus. Wake Wash has formal ties with the Wake Forest’s Center for Entrepreneurship and the University’s Residence Life and Housing. Additionally, in the spring of 2009 Wake Wash became a limited liability corporation.
