How do I pay for the laundry service?
When you place your order, you have the option of storing your card on file securely. Once your order is weighed and processed, we will send you an invoice via email. If the invoice is not paid by the time we are about to deliver, we will then charge the card on file. If an order is not paid, it will not be delivered. Any additional orders will be charged separately.
What types of detergent are used? Do you use dryer sheets? What if I have special instructions?
We use name brand laundry detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets. All standard orders will have a scent as we love nothing better than to hear from our customers how great their clothes smell. If you do not want scent or have allergies, please indicate in the special instructions when you place your order.
