St simons wash
We had so much fun shooting summer fashion at St. Simons Wash. This newly renovated, woman-owned, one-stop self-serve wash for your car, your clothes, and your dogs is located at 2801 Demere Road on St. Simons Island. Here, it’s easy to tackle three projects at once and they also offer super convenient drop-off Wash • Dry • Fold laundry service and an unlimited car wash membership! With our lovely models in fun clothes from local retailers, playful pooches, and some sweet rides, it was a great opportunity to show everything they have to offer and illustrate our Summer Fun - Rinse - Repeat feature!
It’s clear from the moment you step in the laundry at St. Simons Wash that a woman’s touch was involved in the remodel. From the flamingo print wallpaper to the super large and super fast machines, owner Christie York knows how to make unenjoyable tasks more enjoyable!
