General Questions

8
Can you clean my clothes while I'm away on holiday?

Yes, we can offer:

  • Extended storage
  • Holiday cleaning packages
  • Holding items until you return
  • Delivery to a safe place or a neighbour
  • Rescheduling your delivery slot to suit you
Do you offer a 24-hour service?

Yes. Orders collected before our 2pm cut-off can be back within 24 hours at no extra charge, as long as the garments are suitable for the 24-hour service. Some items need more time.

For a thorough clean, we recommend our three-day service, as some stains need two or more cleaning cycles to come out.

Do you use eco-friendly cleaning methods?

Yes, we use environmentally friendly solvents.

How do you handle delicate or valuable items?

Delicate items receive:

  • Individual assessment
  • Specialised cleaning techniques
  • Hand cleaning if necessary
  • Careful inspection before and after cleaning
How often should I dry clean my suits and formal wear?

It depends on how often you wear them and where. As a guide, clean suits every 2 to 3 wears and formal wear after each use.

How safe is my stored data?

All data we collect is used and stored in line with current government guidelines.

What can I send for wash and fold, and what's the difference between standard and premium?

You can send day-to-day laundry that can go through a washing machine and tumble dryer, such as T-shirts, trousers, bedding and underwear. Items are washed at 30°C and tumble dried as standard, and pricing is based on the weight of your order. Ironing is not part of this service.

Please don't include items that can't be machine washed or tumble dried, anything marked dry-clean only, bath mats, duvets or other bulky items, shoes, pet beds or pet items, or flammable items including heavily greased fabric.

Standard wash and fold is a straightforward wash and fold service. Premium wash and fold uses premium detergents and a premium fold, giving your laundry a wardrobe ready finish. Just let us know at the time of booking if you'd like the premium option.

What's the difference between dry cleaning and regular washing?

Dry cleaning uses environmentally friendly solvents instead of water. It protects the fabric and prevents shrinking, so it is ideal for delicate items. Laundry uses water and detergent, and is ideal for everyday machine washable clothes.

Collection & Delivery

5
Do you offer free collection and delivery services?

Yes, collection and delivery are free. All orders are subject to a £25 minimum.

Do you offer same day express service?

Yes. Orders collected before our 12pm cut-off can be back the same day, with a 25% surcharge.

How should I prepare my clothes before collection?

  3. Put everything in a strong bag or one of our branded bags
  4. Have it ready for the driver at your booked time slot
  5. If you will be out, leave the bag in a safe place and add a note to your online order saying where it is

Service & Pricing

Can you clean designer trainers and handbags?

Yes. We check the material, brand and condition of every pair and bag before we start. If we think cleaning could harm it, we call you before doing anything.

Can you clean mould or mildew from fabrics?

Specialised treatments are available, but success rate depends on fabric type, extent of mould, and age of the stain.

Can you perform alterations or repairs on my clothes?

Yes. Hemming, button replacement and minor repairs are available for an extra fee. We also do more complex alterations, which may need a fitting.

Can you remove all types of stains?

Most stains can be cleaned, but some set-in or old stains may be difficult to completely remove. We always do a stain treatment prior to laundry or dry cleaning, then do a final check afterwards. We sometimes re-clean to make sure the stain is cleaned.

Do you clean handbags?

Yes. Leather, suede and fabric bags are cleaned inside and out, conditioned and polished. Prices start from £35 for fabric bags and £89.95 for a standard leather handbag. Allow up to 2 weeks from collection.

See our handbag cleaning service.

Do you clean large items like duvets and curtains?

Yes, large items such as duvets, curtains, blankets, and comforters can be cleaned.

Do you clean shoes and trainers?

Yes. Trainers, leather shoes, suede and boots are cleaned by hand and deodorised. Prices start from £19.50 a pair for leather shoes, £25 for trainers and £50.95 for boots. Most pairs are back in about 3 days, while sheepskin and UGG-style boots can take up to 2 weeks.

See our shoe cleaning service.

How long does dry cleaning typically take?

We aim to process most laundry and dry cleaning within 1 business day. Large household items may take a little longer. Same-day and next-day express services are also available for urgent orders.

What is the difference between Clean & press and Iron only?

Clean & press means we clean the item, then press and finish it. Iron only is for items that are already clean and just need pressing, and costs 20% less, except for shirts.

What items can be dry cleaned?

Suits, dresses, coats, wedding gowns, curtains, delicate fabrics, leather, suede, silk, wool garments, down jackets, and formal wear can all be dry cleaned. Care label below.

Will my shoes or bag come back like new?
