Dry Cleaning and Laundry Tips

Whether it be because of time constraints, lack of necessary equipment, or simply for the convenience, a lot of people use laundry and dry cleaning services. To respond to the rising demand, the industry saw the birth of new laundry businesses everywhere. But between promises of clean and pressed clothes, same-day deliveries, and special fabric detergents, how do you know your particular service provider is the best option out there?

To help you out, we've compiled a list of qualities to look for in an excellent laundry and dry cleaning service.

 1. Quick turnaround time

Time, or your lack thereof, is one of the main reasons for having your laundry done by pros. Because of this, a quick turnaround time is essential, especially if it's your everyday clothes that you regularly send in.

Some companies (like us) also offer same-day service guarantees. This will always come in handy for people with busy schedules.

2. Clothes are in a wearable state

A laundry service that delivers on time hardly means anything if the clothes are not in a wearable state. After using a laundry service, ask yourself these questions - Do your clothes smell bad? Have they shrunk? Are they too wrinkly? Are many of them lost or damaged? If you answer yes to even one of these questions, you should look for another company.

You'll want a laundry service that delivers spotless and crisp clothes, which tells you at least two things - they mean business and they use high-quality detergents.

3. Existing policy for loss and damages

Speaking of damaged clothes, find a laundry service that has a clear policy on loss and damages. It may not happen often, but when it does, you'll thank yourself for thinking ahead.

This is also an indication that the company has good customer service. Issue resolution makes for loyal customers.

4. Convenient pickup and delivery system

Whether you like to bring your bags to them or the other way around, make sure your laundry service is consistent and prompt when it comes to pickups and deliveries. Ideally, you'll hardly have to fit these into your busy schedule.

As an example, our Valet Drive Thru service gives you the option of simply driving through one of our locations. We'll be the ones to take the clothes out of your car without you even opening your door.

5. Reasonable prices

Clothes are not created equal, especially in terms of how to wash them. A wedding dress will need more attention than a pair of socks. When asking around for pricing, take into consideration the different prices of different services like dry cleaning and wash and fold. The convenience of getting all your clothes washed in the same place may mean a little more cost.

Other Things to Consider

• There is growing interest in eco-friendly options - and for good reason! Find out how much your laundry service shows its love to Mother Nature.
• Some laundry services offer convenient ways of notifying you when your clothes are ready. We prefer text alerts.
• Business hours can make or break businesses. Choose the laundry service that will be available to you all seven days of the week.
