Wash, dry & fold
What's included in wash, dry and fold?
Your everyday laundry - washed, dried and neatly folded, then delivered back ready to go straight into the drawers.
How should I prepare my washing?
Empty the pockets, mention anything delicate or stained when you book, and set aside anything you don't want washed. We'll guide you through the rest.
Do you separate colours and whites?
Tell us how you like things done when you book - we're happy to talk through your preferences.
Is there a minimum or maximum load size?
Load limits are being finalised - contact us with what you've got and we'll confirm.
How long does wash, dry and fold take?
We'll confirm your return time when you book - call or email and we'll let you know what's possible for your order.
Is there anything you can't wash?
If you're ever unsure about an item, just ask - some things need special handling or dry cleaning, and we'll let you know the best option before going ahead.
Ironing
Do you offer ironing?
Yes - ironing is one of our core services, with pickup and delivery from your door.
Can I book ironing on its own, without washing?
Get in touch and tell us what you need - we'll let you know how we can help.
What items do you iron?
Everyday garments and household items are our bread and butter. If you've got something delicate or unusual, mention it when you book and we'll confirm.
Will my ironed clothes come back on hangers or folded?
Tell us your preference when you book and we'll confirm what we can do.
How is ironing priced?
Ironing pricing is being finalised - contact us for an estimate on your items.
Stains
Do you offer stain removal?
Yes - stain removal is one of our services. Point out the stain when you book and we'll give it our best attention.
Can you guarantee a stain will come out?
We'll always give it our best, but honestly - no laundry service can promise every stain will disappear. It depends on the fabric, the stain and how long it's been there. If a mark needs specialist care, we'll tell you.
What should I tell you about a stain?
The more we know the better: what caused it, how long it's been there, and anything you've already tried. If you can, avoid hot-washing or tumble-drying a stained item before we see it - heat can set stains.
Can you treat stains on delicate fabrics?
Mention the fabric when you book - some delicates are best handled through dry cleaning, and we'll recommend the safest option for your item.
Does stain treatment cost extra?
Pricing details, including any stain treatment, are confirmed when you book - get in touch for an estimate.
Which stains are the trickiest?
Old or heat-set stains are the hardest - think dried oil, ink, or red wine that's already been through a hot wash. The golden rule: act fast, and let us see it before you experiment.
Dry cleaning
Do you offer dry cleaning?
Yes - dry cleaning is part of our service range, with pickup and delivery from your door.
How do I know if something needs dry cleaning?
Check the care label - a circle symbol or the words 'dry clean only' are your cue. Suits, structured jackets and many delicates fall into this camp. Not sure? Ask us and we'll advise.
How long does dry cleaning take?
We'll confirm timing for dry cleaning when you book - contact us and we'll let you know what's possible.
How much does dry cleaning cost?
Dry cleaning pricing is being finalised - tell us what items you have and we'll give you an estimate.
Linen
Do you offer linen services?
Yes - we launder linen for both homes and businesses, with pickup and delivery.
What kinds of linen do you handle?
Household and business linen - sheets, towels and the like. Tell us what you've got and we'll confirm we can help.
Do you handle towels and linen for beauty and massage businesses?
Yes - beauty and massage businesses are exactly who we love working with. Get in touch to talk through your weekly towel and linen needs.
How should I bundle linen for pickup?
Keep linen together in its own bag or bundle, separate from personal laundry, and give us a rough idea of quantities when you book.
How is linen laundering priced?
Linen pricing is being finalised - contact us with your quantities and we'll give you an estimate.
Bed making
Do you offer bed making?

Ask us to make up the beds when we deliver your freshly laundered linen - we'll confirm the details for your place when you book.
Is bed making only for Airbnbs, or for homes too?
Tell us your setup - home or short-stay - and we'll confirm what we can do for you.
How much does bed making cost?
Bed making pricing is being finalised - get in touch and we'll give you an estimate for your property.
Do I need to supply the linen for bed making?
Most bed making uses your own freshly laundered linen. If you're after a different arrangement, get in touch and we'll see what's possible.
Minor mending
Do you do clothing repairs?

What mending jobs can you do?
Minor repairs: buttons, hems and similar small fixes. For anything bigger, ask us and we'll point you in the right direction.

Our mending covers small jobs like buttons and hems. For zips or proper alterations, get in touch and we'll advise the best option.
How is mending priced?
Mending pricing is being finalised - mention the repair when you book and we'll confirm the cost with you.
Can I add mending to my laundry order?
Yes - just mention it when you book and point out the items that need attention.
What if a button needs matching?
If you have the spare button, pop it with the garment. If not, mention it when you book and we'll talk through the options.
Commercial customers
Do you work with businesses?
Yes - we work with small businesses of around 1 to 10 staff, including beauty, massage and other linen-heavy trades. Get in touch to talk through a pickup routine that suits your week.
