Fast wash, five-star service, and a purpose-driven culture in Oak Cliff.

Operator Patrick Elverum takes us inside Tide Laundromat & Tide Cleaners Dallas and the Oak Cliff launch—smart washers, 400G extraction, spotless spaces, and a “Take Laundry, Give Life” culture. Hosted by Arrington Roofing, serving Dallas & North Texas for 42 years.

Operator and entrepreneur Patrick Elverum takes us inside Tide Laundromat & Tide Cleaners in Oak Cliff (Jefferson & Adams)—where smart machines, spotless spaces, and a “Take Laundry, Give Life” culture are redefining laundry in Dallas. We cover site selection, hiring for heart, why 400G spin matters, and the surprising overlap between laundromats and roofing: trust, quality, and a great on-site experience. Plus: Oak Cliff pride, commercial accounts, and scaling from 4 stores toward 30+ across DFW.
