Some Obvious things you should already know

Prior to picking up, sort your laundry the way you would like to have it washed (e.g. Whites – Hot Water Wash, Colors/Darks – Coldwater Wash). Sorted laundry will be charged at the sorted laundry price which may be found at Driftlaundry.ca/prices

Where there is no indication that a sort was completed and marked, we will assume that all items can be washed together in cold water.

Delicates such as fine lingerie should be placed in a lingerie bag to protect them during the laundry process.

Do not place laundry and dry cleaning items in the same bag as Drift Laundry does not offer Dry Cleaning service. Driftlaundry.ca will not be responsible for garments labelled “hand wash only” or “dry clean only” and is not responsible for checking for these labels in customer’s garments.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that laundry bags do not exceed 40lbs and that they are clearly identified with the customer’s name (affixed nametag, or written and inserted inside the bag to prevent loss), and is closed/ tied/sealed to prevent loss during transportation.

The customer will provide written instructions for all special handling requests, including, but not limited to, wash and hang dry, hot water wash, low heat dry, delicate cycle, etc. Additional charges may apply.

Unable to Pick Up or Delivery Order

Driftlaundry.ca will make every reasonable effort to pick up and deliver orders within 24-48hrs. In the event that an order was placed by a client and confirmed for pickup or delivery, but either the order or the person responsible to hand off or receiving the order is unavailable at the scheduled time period, a $10 ‘placed but unavailable’ charge will apply.

Alternative Pick up/Drop off Authorization

If you are unable to be at home at the scheduled pick up/drop off time, you can save yourself a second attempt charge by providing us with an alternate pick up/drop off arrangement that you believe is secure. (Neighbor, Concierge, Security, foyer, porch, garage etc.).

We will text/email you when the pickup/drop off is made. This service is provided solely for the benefit of the customer and Driftlaundry.ca assumes no responsibility whatsoever for such an arrangement.
