How It Works

 

How do I start?
All you need to do is visit our website and create an account or sign in through Facebook or Google+.

Where shall I drop-off my clothes?
Please choose while placing your order if you would like us to pick it up from your doorstep or concierge. We service Apartments, Condos, Businesses and houses. Please place your laundry in a disposable bag and label it with your name and address or if its your second order, then you would have a reusable garment bag from Simply Laundry that you can reuse.

How will I know that my laundry has been picked-up?
Once you place your order, Simply Laundry gets notified that your laundry is ready for pick-up. Our team will swing by to collect it from your concierge or doorstep (as per your chosen option) and we will change the status of your order to "Picked-up" in your account.
 

How will I know that my laundry has been dry-cleaned and delivered?
Simply Laundry will send you an email or SMS to let you know your clean, fresh laundry has been dropped off as per your request. That can be either your doorstep at your house, condo or apartment building or at your concierge.

What if I don't have a concierge?
A scheduling system will pop-up and you can schedule for a pick-up time from your Door-Step.

My concierge doesn't accept laundry. What shall I do?
While placing your order, please choose a Doorstep pick-up if your concierge doesn't accept you dropping it off.

What shall I do if I have a big order with many bags?
Please send us an email to inform us that you have a big order so that we can send a large vehicle to pickup your bag. Please state in your email your name, location and number of bags so we can send the appropriate car.

To place your first order, simply visit our website and create an account – you also have the option of signing in through Facebook or Google+. Once your account is set up, you can place an order whenever you like by clicking the ‘Place Order’ tab on our website.

How do I prepare my order for pick-up?
After submitting your order, place your dry cleaning or laundry in a bag with your name, address and unit number(If any). Your name and unit number is only required for your first order, Simply Laundry will return your clothes in a reusable Eco-friendly garment bag with a customer identification tag that you can use for future orders.

How can I let you know about specific requests?
If there are any special care instructions not included on the label, you can let us know when placing your order by including your comments in the ‘Special Instructions’ section.

Do I need to count the items in my order?
Absolutely not, counting items is all part of the service. Simply Laundry will take care of that on your behalf.

Is there a minimum order amount?
Yes, the minimum order is $20 for Dry Clean. The minimum order for Wash and Fold is 13lbs. The minimum order for Wash and Hang service is also 13 lbs. If your order is less than the minimum, we will charge you the minimum order.

Can I cancel my order?
If you decide to cancel your order, please do so within 24 hours of placing your order either by emailing info@simply-laundry.com, otherwise your order will be processed. If we attempt to pick-up and weren't able to do so, we will charge you $10 "Unavailable Claim". We don't accept any text messages.

Turnaround time is usually 48-72 hours, not including Sundays and public holidays. We also provide a rushed service for an additional charge of $30. Rushed Service is currently only offered for Wash and Fold service.

If you are still facing issues in placing an order, you can email us your name, building and unit/house number and service type (Dry cleaning, Wash and Fold).

What happens to my laundry bag?

Once the driver starts a pickup task, the customer will receive an SMS notification informing them that the driver is on his way. The SMS message will include drivers name and phone number in case customer needs to contact driver.

What happens if I don’t sort my order between Dry Clean and Wash & Fold?
We most certainly can sort your items on your behalf for an extra charge of $20. Also, you would be agreeing that if we added any item to either service, its not our responsibility. For example, if you wanted your sweaters to be wash and folded, but we chose the Dry Clean service as we were worried about shrinkage of the item, then its the customer responsibility, as we tried to sort the order to the best of our ability.

In these rare instances, the following guidelines dictate how customers are reimbursed and compensated for missing or damaged items:

Damaged Items

If an item is damaged through our delivery or cleaning process, we will send your damaged item to a third party clothing repair specialist for assessment and repair.

If the item can be successfully repaired, then we will repair it free of charge. If the damage cannot be repaired and was a result of the delivery/cleaning process, then we will assume full responsibility and provide either a replacement (if available), full reimbursement, or credit for use on future orders (subject to the exceptions below).

• Normal wear and tear, which includes slight shrinkage, slight fading, thinning of fabric, small rips or tears from repeated laundering, and color discoloration due to deodorant, perfumes or colognes.

If the item(s) in question were damaged due to “normal wear and tear”, then we will not provide compensation for the item(s).

Occasionally, vendors will return items unwashed as further washing or dry cleaning may result in possible or further damage. Should this be the case for one of your item(s), you will not be charged for the garment(s) in question.

Is Simply Laundry in my region?
There is a map on our homepage whereby you can enter your postal code and can identify if we service your region or not.

Can you recycle my hangers?
Absolutely. If you wish to recycle your hangers, please place them inside your garment bag on your next order.

Does your laundering process address customers with sensitive skin?
We address any and all concerns with regards to how your clothes are laundered, including adjustments for those with sensitive skin. If your order requires special treatment, simply fill out the details in the ‘Special Instructions For Your Order’ section.

Can I add my special preferences to my account?

You most certainly can do that. Please update your order perferences for the Wash and Fold service. These preferences will be saved for all future orders.

What is the difference between Wash and Fold and Laundered shirt?
For all of your laundered shirts, they get pressed. Wash and Fold is just washing, drying(in the dryer) and neatly folding your clothes for you.

How much laundry is 13lbs?
13lbs is approximately one week worth of your laundry.

I am very hygienic and worried about my clothes. How do you care for my clothes?
All washers and dryers get sprayed and wiped down between every customer to ensure each customer gets a perfect experience, and we don’t think that its hygienic to just wash all your clothes together like what other competitors do!

Our black bags are for your dry cleaning, white bags are for all your Wash and Fold, and green bags are for the Wash and Hang service.
