Best mates Nic   Marchesi and Lucas Patchett (top), both 21, wanted to do something to help the homeless. give it a go. 
It started small.
The Brisbane boys took an old van nicknamed Sudsy, fitted it out with a generator, water tanks and two large washing machines and driers.
Then they started driving around town offering to clean the clothes of those sleeping rough.
Often they would park their laundry near food vans and free barbecues, allowing the homeless to have their clothes washed while waiting for a feed.
Armed with enthusiasm to make a practical difference and strong social media skills,   Marchesi and Pachett quickly expanded the service to Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast.
Their charity Orange Sky Laundry - named after one of their favourite songs - now operates in 36 locations and washes 350 loads each week.
Last year, they expanded their mobile laundry service to natural disaster relief by travelling to North Queensland to wash the clothes of residents affected by Cyclone Marcia.
This year they want to keep opening in new locations across the country, giving more Australians access to something that many of us take for granted: clean clothes.
