Frequently Asked Questions

1

Can you handle this stain?

Every stain is different - each requires an individual approach. We use various removal methods: mechanical (steam, compressed air, soft-bristled brush at the stain removal station) as well as chemical agents and soaking....

2

Do you wash and clean suits?

Yes, suits are one of our specialities. We treat the jacket and trousers as a set, so the shade and texture still match after cleaning....

3

Do you clean wedding dresses?

Yes, and we treat them with the care they deserve. A wedding dress is usually the most expensive and sentimental piece in the wardrobe, so we assess each one individually - lace, appliqués, the train and grass or wine marks all need a different approach....

4

Can you wash a cocktail or evening dress?

Absolutely. Dresses - from everyday to evening gowns with sequins and delicate detailing - get assessed for fabric and finish, then we choose a method that leaves the colour and shape untouched....

5

Do you wash duvets, pillows and bedding?

Yes. We have the equipment to handle large duvets and pillows - down-filled ones too - and bring back their fluffiness instead of flattening them....

6

Do you clean shoes?

Yes - from leather oxfords to sneakers and suede. Each type of leather and material calls for different products, so we don't throw everything in one bag....

7

Can you clean a coat or jacket?

Yes, outerwear is everyday work for us - wool coats, down jackets, parkas, transitional jackets. We wash down so it returns to shape after drying, and we treat wool gently, with no risk of felting....

8

Can you wash this fabric? (silk / wool / cashmere)

We have experience working with delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, and cashmere. We check each material individually to make sure the washing process is safe....

Click to read more →
9

Do you offer dry cleaning?

We mainly work with water-based (wet cleaning) and steam methods - for most fabrics they're safer and more eco-friendly than classic solvent cleaning. We match the method to the material and care label, not the other way around....

10

Do you serve customers in Ukrainian and English?

Yes. We'll help you in Polish, Ukrainian and English, so if you live in Lublin and are still learning Polish - no worries, we'll understand each other....

11

Do you work with businesses?

Yes. We serve hotels, restaurants, clinics, salons, designers and film crews - regularly and on demand....

12

Do you clean communion dresses and albs?

Yes, communion dresses, albs and accessories are seasonal routine for us. Delicate tulle, lace and grass or cake stains call for a careful approach, so we advise against a home machine - yellowing or deformation happen easily....

Click to read more →
13

How do I remove a wine, blood, grease or coffee stain?

The key rule: don't let the stain dry and don't wash it in hot water - that often sets it for good. Gently blot a fresh stain without rubbing, and bring the item to us as soon as possible....

14

My label says “dry clean only” - can you handle it?

Yes. That symbol means the fabric can't take ordinary water washing, but it usually responds very well to the gentle wet cleaning and steam we work with....

Click to read more →
15

Will my wool sweater or coat shrink at your place?

Wool shrinks and felts when it meets high heat, water and friction all at once - which is exactly what a home machine does. We wash it under controlled conditions, matching the method to the fibre and knit, so the risk is minimal....

Click to read more →
16

Do you wash down-filled items - jackets, duvets, sleeping bags?

Yes, and this is one case where professional washing really makes a difference. After a home wash and quick drying, down usually clumps into hard lumps and loses its insulating power....

17

Do you clean leather items - jackets, shoes?

Yes. Leather is a demanding material: it's cleaned with different products than fabrics, and home cleaning easily dries it out or stains it....

18

Do you wash carpets?

Yes, we wash smaller carpets and runners. Washing a large rug at home can be risky - it's hard to rinse and dry thoroughly, and trapped moisture can leave an odour....

19

Do you wash workwear and aprons for businesses?

Yes. Chef, waiter and hairdresser aprons, uniforms and workwear are a regular job for us, including for repeat clients....

20

Do you wash caps, wool hats and beanies?

Yes. We clean peaked caps so the visor keeps its shape and colour - a home machine easily ruins both....

21

Do you wash ski jackets and Gore-Tex membrane clothing?

Yes, and without ruining the membrane. Ordinary detergent clogs the membrane's pores and kills its breathability, so we wash these items with dedicated products....

22

Do you iron items without washing them?

Yes. If your items are already clean and you're just short on time or patience for the iron, we'll do ironing only - shirts, trousers, suits or bedding....

23

Can you wash a pleated skirt so the pleats survive?

Yes. Pleats are the most delicate part of such a skirt - home washing and drying can flatten them for good....

24

Can you remove pilling and bobbles from a sweater?

Often yes. Bobbles (pilling) are tangled fibres - we remove them safely without damaging the knit, and refresh the sweater along the way....

25

Can you fix a yellowed shirt collar?

Usually yes. Yellow marks on collars and cuffs are a build-up from sweat and cosmetics that home washing often can't shift....

26

Can you wash a printed T-shirt without cracking the print?

Yes. Prints and heat transfers crack from high heat and ironing straight over them - so we wash such T-shirts at lower temperatures and iron around the print....

27

Can you clean a stained silk tie?

Yes. A tie, especially a silk one, is one of those things you really shouldn't wash at home - permanent water marks and loss of shape happen easily....

28

Do you clean veils and wedding accessories?

Yes. A veil is often the most delicate part of a wedding set - thin tulle tears or yellows easily in a home wash....

Do you wash children's plush toys?

Yes, and it's often a rescue for a favourite cuddly toy you can't put in the machine. We wash plush toys so they keep their shape and softness, removing dust, mites and allergens....

30

Do you wash mattress covers?

Yes. A mattress cover collects sweat, dust mites and allergens, so it's worth washing regularly - but at home the thick, quilted layer is hard to dry....

31

Do you wash sleeping bags, including down ones?

Yes. A sleeping bag, especially a down one, loses freshness after a season, and washing it at home often ends in clumped down and moisture that's hard to remove....

Other Questions

1

Can you handle this odor? (sweat / smoke / food)

In most cases, the answer is yes. We have various odour removal methods - from gentle natural agents, through steam, to professional products that eliminate troublesome odours....

2

Can you wash curtains / bedspreads / blankets?

Yes, we offer washing of curtains, bedspreads, and blankets. We have appropriate equipment to handle these types of larger home textiles....

3

Do you waterproof clothing and fabrics?

Yes, we offer impregnation that restores fabrics' resistance to water and dirt - handy for jackets, raincoats and outdoor gear. Washing usually weakens the protective layer, so it's worth refreshing....

4

Do you mangle bedding and press tablecloths?

Yes. We mangle bedding, tablecloths and other large textiles - they come out smooth, folded and ready to go straight into the cupboard....

5

What if the item has no care label?

Not a problem - we'll manage. No label simply means we judge the composition and finish from experience, and when in doubt we run a test in a hidden spot....

6

What about buttons, decorations and appliqués?

We pay them special attention. Sequins, rhinestones, beads, leather inserts and metal fittings don't always survive standard washing, so we secure such elements or choose a gentler method....

7

What products do you use? I have allergies and sensitive skin.

We favour water-based and steam methods, plus products matched to the fabric type - no drowning everything in the harshest chemistry. If you have allergies or sensitive skin, mention it when you drop off your items and we'll pick gentler agents and rinse thoroughly....

8

How long do you hold finished items for collection?

Finished items will happily wait for you - they don't disappear if you don't collect them the very next day. If you know you'll come by after a longer while, just mention it when you drop them off so we set them aside somewhere safe....

9

Do you accept single items, or is there a minimum?

We accept even a single item - one shirt or one suit is a normal order for us, not a hassle. There's no minimum by weight or quantity....

10

Do you have a warranty on services?

The professional process we follow is itself a guarantee of the quality of our work. We always follow safety procedures and use the right method for each type of fabric....

Click to read more →
11

Could an item shrink or fade at your place?

The risk is far lower than with home washing, because we match temperature and method to the specific material, and for new, intense colours we run a colourfastness test. We won't risk washing if a fabric clearly isn't suited to it - then we suggest a gentler method or refreshing instead....

Click to read more →
12

How do you dry items? Do you use a dryer?

We match the drying method to the type of item. We dry knitwear and wool flat so they keep their shape, and down so it regains loft without clumping....

Click to read more →
13

How do you know which method and temperature to use?

We start with the care label and fibre content, then assess the item's condition, the type of soiling and the finish - cotton, silk and a membrane all get treated differently. When in doubt we test in a hidden spot before the actual wash....

14

How often should I wash a duvet, bedding or plush toys?

Bedding is best washed every 1–2 weeks, duvets and pillows 2–3 times a year, and children's plush toys every few weeks - more often if someone in the home has allergies. Regular washing removes the dust mites and allergens that build up in fillings....

15

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Tell us right away when you collect your items. If something can still be improved - a stain needs another attempt, say, or the item another pass - we'll take care of it....

Click to read more →
16

How can I be sure you won't mix up my items?

We label and handle every order separately, so your items don't get mixed with anyone else's. As a small, family laundry we have full control over this - we're not an anonymous conveyor belt where mix-ups happen easily....

Click to read more →
17

What if a stain can't be removed - do I still pay?

Not every stain can be removed completely - it depends on its type, age and the fabric. We always do everything we can, and we tell you honestly when a stain is permanent or already set by an earlier wash....

Click to read more →
18

Can you prepare an item for longer storage - a gown, a winter coat?

Yes. Before storing something for months, it's worth cleaning it thoroughly first - invisible sweat or food stains yellow over time and attract moths....

Click to read more →
19

Does your washing remove dust mites and allergens?

Yes. Duvets, pillows, mattress covers and plush toys are the main homes for dust mites and allergens, which low-temperature home washing often fails to eliminate....

20

Can you remove pet hair and odours from fabrics?

In most cases, yes. Hair and the smell of a wet dog or cat can soak into a carpet, upholstery or clothing so deeply that home washing won't touch it....

Click to read more →
21

Do you do minor repairs - sewing on a button, alterations?

We don't run a tailoring workshop, so we don't hem or take in garments. However, if we spot a loose button, an open seam or a torn appliqué during cleaning, we'll let you know so you can deal with it....

Click to read more →
22

Another laundry refused my item - will you take it?

Often yes - we like the tricky cases others can't be bothered with. But before we promise anything, we look at the item and honestly assess what can be done and where the risk is too high....

Click to read more →
23

What don't you clean? Are there any limits?

We handle clothing, footwear and home textiles from our price list - from suits and dresses to duvets, carpets and plush toys. We don't clean things that don't belong to a laundry, such as fixed upholstered furniture at the customer's home or industrial parts....

Click to read more →
24

Does washing at your place disinfect items?

Yes, to the extent professional washing allows. By choosing the right temperature and products, we effectively reduce bacteria, dust mites and microbes - which matters especially for bedding, hospitality workwear and children's items....

Click to read more →
25

Do turnaround times get longer in busy periods like wedding season?

Items are normally ready within 48 hours, but at peak times - during wedding or communion season, say - a higher volume of orders can mean we need a little more time. As a small laundry we prioritise quality, so we'd rather warn you about a longer timeline than let it show in the result....

Click to read more →
26

Can someone else collect my items on my behalf?

Yes, that's no problem - the person collecting just needs to know the name or phone number the order was taken under. As a small laundry we usually simply recognise our customers and their items....

27

Do I have to take down curtains or blinds myself, or will you?

Taking curtains or blinds down and rehanging them is usually the customer's part - we handle the washing itself. If you use pickup, just have them taken down and ready, and we'll collect them and return them clean....
