Can you collect laundry and deliver it to my concierge/Maid?
Yes, we can! If you happen to have a concierge, reception or porter available at your address and they are able to receive orders, please leave a note in the app under ‘Comments’ when placing your order. If your order has already been collected, you can contact our customer care team via email ([email protected]), live chat, Whatsapp, and soon via phone, and we’ll be able to leave instructions for our agent on your behalf.

What are your cleaning methods?
Bio detergents contain enzymes which are effective at cleaning stains such as starch and fat found in food and sweat, however non-bio is gentler and better suited for sensitive skin or those with young children. As such, we use non-bio as standard for all laundered items.

What chemicals and detergents do you use? Can I make a request?
We typically make sure that our partners use industry grade fabric softeners. However, because these products are poured straight into high-tech machinery in bulk, intelligently measuring detergents and softener portions; we, unfortunately, cannot take requests. This machinery helps save waste and operate a much more environmentally friendly service.
