Dry Cleaning and Laundry Tips

5 Qualities that Set a Top-Tier Laundry Service Apart from the Others

Not all laundry services are made equal. Some offer deliveries and pickups, others are self-service. Then there’s your local dry cleaning service; sometimes they’ll do it right, other times there’s that one stubborn stain they just can't get rid of. 

The question, then, is what makes a good laundry service? What qualities or services should you look for that tell you they're the one? Here are some tips to narrow down your options: 

Knows What Laundry Labels Mean

Ever wondered what those symbols on your clothes' label tags mean? They're simplified laundry instructions. And with some clothes having specific requirements, the International Organization for Standardization or ISO devised the laundry care symbols. In a sense, they’re the universal hieroglyphs for laundry.

Some clothes are washing machine friendly; others not so much. Some should only be dry cleaned; others need to be washed at a certain temperature. If your laundry service provider religiously follows this set of instructions, keep them. It just means they can handle your clothes without ruining anything.

Has Wide Variety of Laundry Services

A good laundry service provider offers a lot of options and services to you. From their dry cleaning to self-service laundry, they ensure that you have a choice to pick which service best fits your current needs. Some of the services you should look for include dry cleaning for suits and wedding dresses, fur and leather cleaning and possibly a delivery service that brings your fresh clothes right to your doorsteps.

Delivers Good Service Quality On-Time

A timely yet high-quality service speaks to the company's dedication to its customers. It means that your clothes will be taken care of as soon as they're handed over. It also means they're not bogged down by a backlog; as professionals, they swiftly and accurately handle the situation, ensuring every client has clean clothing when they need them the most. Lastly, they make laundry easy for you. Whether it’s by having same-day pick-ups or next-day deliveries, professional laundry services ensure your clothes are taken care of and given to you where you’re most comfortable.

Has Competitive Prices yet Reliable Services

Know what you’re paying for. Good laundry service providers will charge you the right price for the service level they can provide. You might think some laundry prices are a steal, but what do you know about the quality of washing they do? Others might charge a premium, but they don’t always deliver the quality you want. You need to find the sweet spot between cost-effectiveness and reliable laundry services to find the one you want.

Your Comfort Matters

The best laundry places are those you can generally walk by and bring your stuff to them easily. Ideally, they're nearby or open seven days a week. If they can notify you when your laundry is ready to be picked, great. Better yet if they have same-day service.
