Question 1

Is there a minimum order cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our pick up and delivery laundry/dry cleaning service has a minimum charge of $40, plus tax. This can be a combination of per-lb laundry service, individually priced items, or dry cleaning.  If you think your order may be below the minimum amount, try adding some towels or individually priced items (comforters, pillows, etc.) to get full value for your money.      Our minimum order charge for in-store wash and fold is $20.  And our minimum order charge for in-store wash and go is $15.

Question 2

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

You can pay using your credit or debit card. Fresh laundry company uses Stripe which is a secure payment system. If you do not have a credit card you can pay cash but please note that our drivers DO NO CARRY ANY CASH for change.  In-store orders can be paid by cash, credit, or debit. And our attendants can exchange bills for the change needed in the machines.

Question 3

Are there any add ons or hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

Pick up and delivery is included in pricing. We try to be transparent and fair in our pricing and make it easy to understand, as we ourselves hate hidden charges.  All charges will be fully disclosed to you before we proceed with services. Please take a look at the pricing section so there are no surprises.  Sometimes prior to washing we may see special handling needs (stained items, sequins, suede etc.). If any extra labor, products are required or if it is outside our expertise, we will contact you to discuss any such additional charges before proceeding.

Question 4

Are there any cancellation or rescheduling fees?

Accepted Answer

You may cancel until 2 hours before your pick up time. You may edit your order until 1 hour before pick up time.   (with no cancellation or rescheduling fees) If the pick up is cancelled when the driver arrives at your door there is a $15 cancellation or missed pick-up fee. If your order is cancelled after pick up but before we have started the cleaning process there is a $40 cancellation fee.  Orders may not be cancelled after the cleaning process has commenced and full charges for the service will apply.

Question 7

Do I need to separate my laundry?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to sort your laundry.  We will do it for you. However, we believe it is beneficial to you to separate your laundry prior to dropping it off for the following reasons: 1. You will see if you have enough of one type (e.g. a full load of whites) to send or whether you should hold it until your next pick up 2. It will help you to catch dry clean only items mixed in prior to dropping it off. 3. Sorting gives you one last opportunity to check your pockets before dropping it off We recommend that you sort into two or three groups. Whites – Hot or Warm wash (with or without optional bleach or oxi-clean) Colors – Cold Wash Darks – Cold Wash (colors may be added to your dark load) Sorting your laundry gives you the final decision on how you would like to have your garments laundered.

Question 8
