Terms and Conditions

123 CLEANERS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Our overriding aim with our T&Cs is fairness. Please read where applicable.

  1. Wash Dry and Fold (Service Washes)-
  1. We do not take responsibility for sorting through soiled laundry prior to washing. Please prepare it as if washing it yourself.
  1. Separate and sort your colours (preferably into different bags).
  2. Check the suitability of all items for;
  1. Washing
  2. Tumble drying is at 60c. (Unless you clearly request lower drying temperature.)
  3. Do not leave dry cleaning only or non tumble dry items in your bag!.
  1. Check garment pockets etc for pens, tissues etc.
  1. We do not accept claims for missing items in service washes - It is not practical or cost-effective to individually ticket all of your items therefore we have no record of what is in your bag. However, CCTV and thorough inspection of machines throughout processing ensure every sock is returned!
  2. Wash & Fold is priced in multiples of 6 kg machine loads. For example, bags weighing less than 6kg are one load, less than 12kg two loads, less than 18kg three loads etc. A bag of mixed colours weighing less than 6kg which has to be separated into 2 different machines will be charged as 2 loads!. Large and bulky items weighing less than 6kgs will be charged as 2 loads if they are too large to fit in a 6kg machine.
  3. Non-tumble dry, hand wash and feather filled items cannot be included in Wash & Fold.
  1. Curtain Cleaning We will proceed with cleaning your curtains on the basis that you understand the following risks;
  1. If a manufacturer's care instructions are not affixed to your curtains, cleaning will be at the owners risk.
  2. Ultraviolet damage or sun rot may occur when curtains have hung in a window for prolonged periods. The movement in cleaning can damage/tear the weakened material.
  3. Blackout/vinyl-backed linings - There is a high risk that these linings may blister and peel in the cleaning process. Manufacturers should use materials/linings suitable for dry cleaning but often do not. We estimate 1 in 10 blackout linings will be damaged in dry cleaning.
  4. Shrinkage may occur when cleaning curtains for the first time especially if they are interlined. It can be typically 3%. To minimise the risk of shrinkage asks for our specialist cleaning. (Which includes lower temperature drying and steam stretching during the finishing process).
  5. Stains cannot always be removed. Water-based stains are particularly difficult.
  6. Hems & linings - The curtain dry cleaning process involves movement. We do not accept responsibility for weak stitching coming undone in this movement.
  1. Leather cleaning- We will proceed with cleaning your suedes and leathers on the basis that you understand the following risks;
  1. Loss of colour - Some dyes are soluble in the cleaning solvent. The original colour cannot always be restored.
  2. Imperfections in skins - Scars, tick marks, veins, wrinkles and texture change may be more apparent after cleaning.
  3. Shrinkage - Skins overstretched during tanning may shrink.
  4. Colour shading from adhesives - Glues used during construction that are not solvent resistant may seep through the leather causing dark areas.
  5. Multi-coloured garments - Dyes may bleed onto adjacent leather, suede or fabric.
  6. Stains - Some stains cannot be removed without causing damage to the colour or skins.
  7. Vinyl trim - The vinyl could peel, harden, or bubble. School jackets are especially vulnerable to the cleaning process. (Also, some dyes used in the jackets are not colourfast and can fade or bleed onto one another!)
