Suitability for Laundering and/or Dry Cleaning;
By using our service, you agree that your clothes are suitable to be washed in water, on a normal cycle, and dried using heat in a tumble dryer. Dry cleaning will be completed using solvents, steam, or other methods to clean “dry clean only” items. We cannot be responsible for any damage to clothing that is not suitable for these industry standard cleaning processes. Similarly, we reserve the right to refuse to service items that we feel will be hazardous to our staff or does not meet the conditions above for standard laundering or dry cleaning.
Damages;
We are unable to check your pockets to see if you have left anything in them. Therefore, we cannot be held responsible if something left in your laundry (like lipstick, chewing gum, or a pen) causes any damage. Similarly, if you call and tell us that you left your favorite bracelet, or anything else, in your pocket, we will try but we can’t guarantee that we will find or return it. All processes, regardless of how gentle, cause normal wear and tear on clothing. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any wear and tear of items, including loss of buttons, fading, fatiguing, holes, or abrasions. Similarly, we reserve the right to decline cleaning any particular item if we think it will lead to damage or further damage of an item. We also can’t be held responsible for the re-disposition of colors (aka bleeding) or dimensional changes (aka shrinking or stretching).
Lost Laundry
We cannot be held responsible for any lost laundry; we simply have no efficient way of verifying that we received any particular piece of laundry in the first place. Rest assured though; we carefully track your dry clean only clothes. If you do believe you are missing something from your delivery, please notify us within 24 hours of receiving your clean clothes — we are much more likely to find misplaced laundry if it is reported early. Claims Process should there be a situation where your laundry cannot be located or we damaged an items and accept responsibility we offer a claim process to insure fairness to both our customers as well as us.

Dry Cleaning Terms Please be sure to label and separate dry clean only items from wash and fold items and clearly mark that bag. We will inventory all dry cleaning items once they arrive at the facility to be cleaned. This inventory is final, and we will track your items carefully to return them to you. However, in the event of loss or damage of dry cleaned items, we will reimburse up to 50% of the replacement cost of any item, with a max claim amount not to exceed ten (10) times the total cost of the original order amount. A claim must be submitted and proof of purchase or verification of a replacement cost must be provided.
We reserve the right, at our own discretion to deny a claim if we suspect fraud or abuse of the claims reimbursement process. As with our standard process, we cannot be held responsible for wear and tear resulting from cleaning, for very delicate items such as buttons or sequins, or for clothing missing proper care labels. “Extras” will be charged at our discretion, in order to process your garment the best way possible. These charges will be added to your final invoice. Items such as leather require longer turnaround times and could take up to two weeks to be returned.
