Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions cover all services offered by Collect & Clean when you use them.

While we aim for accuracy in the information, descriptions, and images we provide, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of all our services.

We reserve the right to change, reject, or cancel your order when necessary. If we cancel and you’ve already paid, we’ll refund the full amount. It’s your responsibility to check your payment method for the refund.

Collect & Clean provides the following laundry services:

  1. Wash, Dry and Fold

  2. Pre-treatment and soaking

  3. Ironing

  4. Pick up & Delivery

Personal Items

Please check all of your garments for pens, money, jewellery or other valuables prior to handover. Be especially careful of leaving cigarette lighters and other dangerous flammable Items inside garments that may harm not only your items but our equipment during a wash or dry cycle. We cannot be held liable for the loss of any such articles or the damage it may cause your garments. Damage to our machines may result in repair costs being handed back to the customer.

A lost property box is held in our office so please feel free to contact us if you believe anything has been misplaced. Any lost property items not claimed within 30 days will be donated to the charity.

Pick up and Delivery

Collect & Clean reserves the right to determine the pickup and delivery times at its own discretion and reserves the right to reschedule such times upon prior notice to the customer.

Customers are responsible for making sure their laundry is ready for pickup on the scheduled date and time. This can be done in two ways:

  1. Someone must be at home during the booked pickup time.

  2. Laundry should be placed outside for collection at the scheduled time, but this is done at the customer’s own risk.

Collect & Clean will not be held responsible if the laundry is left unattended at the customer’s address. Not having the laundry ready for pickup may lead to a missed collection and service delays and/or surcharge.

We will strive to provide you with the best service within our advertised timeframe. However, if something beyond our control causes us to fail or delay in meeting our obligations under these terms, we won’t be held responsible.

Delivery

Customers must be home to receive delivery of clean laundry. If nobody is at the agreed upon address at the booked date and time, clean laundry will be left at the address in a location of our choosing unless otherwise agreed upon prior to delivery. Collect & Clean will take a photo as Proof Of Delivery.

Collect & Clean will accept no responsibility (in cases of weather, theft, damage or otherwise) for customers’ laundry being left unattended.

Garment Damage and Suitability of Laundering

We exercise utmost care in cleaning and processing garments entrusted to us and use such processes which, in our opinion, are best suited whilst using industrial washing and tumble drying machines.

Wash, Dry and Fold Orders

We will not be liable for damage to items as we wash by the load and do not inspect the care labels of each garment. For garments that need to be specially treated i.e. leather, silk, cashmere, fur, velvet and other delicate garments, please ensure that these items can be machine washed and tumble dried. We cannot be held accountable for any pre-existing weaknesses or defects in materials that might result in tears or small holes during the cleaning process. We can not guarantee against colour loss, colour bleeding, and shrinkage or against damage to weak and tender fabrics. Garments are cleaned entirely at your own risk, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any damage or fading as a result of the industrial cleaning process.

While we offer a pre-treatment and soaking option, there is no guarantee that all stains will be removed during the processing of the washing.

Laundry items are tagged by the load and not individually tagged, therefore, we cannot accept any liability for missing items. We exercise the utmost care in processing the garments received in order to avoid misplacement or loss of items.

We have CCTV technology and order tracking software to help us determine any loss in a quick and timely manner through each of our workflow processes. In the instances where items may be misplaced or lost, we ask that you advise us of any discrepancy within 24 hours of receipt of your garments so that we may investigate the matter with our CCTV cameras and make a determination. No claims for damages will be recognised unless you advise us of the same within 24 hours of collecting the garments.

Laundry Bags

Collect & Clean’s signature black and teal laundry bags remain the property of Collect & Clean. Our branded laundry bags can be supplied to customers for pick-up and delivery services. If bags are not returned when requested, a charge of $25 plus GST will apply per bag.

Privacy
