Terms & Care Policy

Before you hand over your clothes

  • Tell us about your garment — a tiny tear, loose sequin, faded spot or tricky stain. The more we know, the better we care for it.
  • Stain alert: tell us what it is (chai? oil? ink?) and how long it's been there so we pick the best treatment.
  • Delicate item? Silk, wool, heavy-work sarees — let us know so it gets VIP treatment. Without specific info we apply our standard excellent care.
  • Pocket check! Please empty all pockets. We're not responsible for anything left behind that gets lost or damages clothes during cleaning.

Our cleaning promise & limits

  • Stains: we're stain fighters, not magicians. Old or certain stains may not vanish completely, and treatment can occasionally alter the look slightly. Asking us to treat a stain means you accept these risks. Stain removal is charged only when successful.
  • Colours & fabrics: hand-dyed, unbranded or heavily embellished garments may run, fade, bleed, shrink or change texture. We can't be responsible for the fabric's original dye or construction quality. Without a care label we use our best judgement.
  • Delicate & designer wear: beads may loosen, sequins may dull, zari may lose a little shine despite extra care.
  • Hidden issues: weak seams, aged fabric or non-colourfast dye are pre-existing and not our responsibility — we'll point them out when we see them.

If something goes wrong

  • If we genuinely damage or lose a garment through our proven mistake, our responsibility is limited to 0.001× the cleaning charge for that item or its current market value (considering age and condition), whichever is less. Please present your original bill.
  • Not covered: buttons, zippers, small decorative items, minor changes in feel or a faint cleaning smell.
  • Complaints: tell us at pickup or within 24 hours. Don't wear or wash the item again — bring it back with the original bill for inspection.
  • Unclaimed clothes: please collect within 30 days of the promised date. After 60 days items may be donated or disposed of.
  • Delivery times are estimates. Power cuts, machine issues or unexpected delays can happen; we can't be responsible for inconvenience from a late item.
  • Every garment that comes to us is handled with the same care we'd want for our own. On the rare occasion something genuinely goes wrong despite that care, we kindly ask for your understanding that the cost of the garment itself can't be reimbursed — we'd rather work with you, in good faith, to make it right than have this feel like a cold policy.
