Don’t worry; we don’t expect you to be an expert, that’s what we are here for! As long as the items are placed in a pick-up bag on collection, we will clean all items in accordance to the manufacturer's instructions and to what would create the best end result. If there’s any doubt or we can’t find a care label, we’ll return the item to you uncleaned so there’s no possibility of damage to your items. As Wash, Tumble Dry & Fold orders tend to be on the larger side, we won’t be able to check every garment so please separate dry clean items in advance.

Don’t worry about a thing. All you need to do is have all of your laundry ready to go. Your Washapp Agent will arrive at your chosen location with a handy Washapp bag to place your loose clothes in, so it helps to have them all together. In your 03rd order, your Washapp Agent will leave you with a reusable bag upon delivery, so you can collect clothes together for future orders. It couldn’t be simpler.

It happens. Simply show any extra items of laundry that you have to the member of our team upon collection. He will take care of it. And later We will update the order accordingly and notify you via an E-mail.

We are proud to provide a speedy laundry service and in most cases we aim to collect your clothes, clean them to a professional standard and get them back to you all within 72 hours. If you’d prefer we went a little slower then that’s not a problem – just let us know when you want your clothes back. We’re flexible so don’t hesitate to give us a time frame that suits you.

Once your items have been collected, they will then be delivered to our FULLY OWNED top notch Washapp Facilities and sorted by one of our laundry experts. This is where the magic happens. They will then be returned to you sparkling clean at a time to suit you.

Once your Washapp Agent has dropped off your order, we do suggest some good practices for aftercare. Firstly, take a moment to check through your order to make sure you are satisfied with everything - Washapp offers a 24 hour Quality Guarantee so if you are unhappy with anything, you can get in contact with our support team who will look to resolve this for you. Feel free to give any packaging and hangers back to your driver. We can then look to recycle what we can and dispose of anything remaining rather than clogging up your house.

Here at Washapp, we pride ourselves on providing a top quality clean. Unfortunately, some stains can’t be removed even when we try our best and repeated applications of the chemicals can result in damaging the fabric. If this is the case, we will send the item back with a special tag explaining this. If you don’t receive this tag, you don’t believe the stains were there previous or your generally unhappy with the quality of the cleaning, please do get in contact with our Customer Care team through customercare@washapp.lk and we can look into this alongside our 24hr Quality Guarantee.

On occasion, we will receive an item we are unable to clean due a number of reasons. You should receive and Order Update email to confirm the amendment as we will update your order to ensure you aren’t charged. On delivery, the item will be received with a special tag to give you the full details. So why wouldn't we clean an item? Some items are received without a care label and so we cannot be sure of the exact fabrics it is made from. We can most certainly suggest the best way to clean these items however there is an increased risk due to the unknown aspects. If you are happy for us to clean it as we see fit, send it back on your next order and leave a note in the special instructions to give us the go ahead and we would request you waive liability of damage through cleaning. Some items are received with pre-existing damage which we will make a note of in our system. Cleaning these items can accentuate that damage so we don’t want to risk it without your go ahead. If you would like us to clean the item and accept that risk, please send it on your next order and leave a note in the special instructions.

The fundamental difference between dry cleaning and wet washing is water; dry-cleaning does not use water while wet washing does. Most dry cleaners use a chemical solvent called perchloroethylene (PERC) or Hydrocarbon to get rid of stains while the process of wet washing uses gentler soaps and detergents. Here at Washapp, we will always follow the garment's care label to ensure we use the best process and for the best results. We can service items that require dry cleaning as well as standard wet washing.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure how your clothes should be treated — we’ll check the label for you and take care of everything.

All at our own top notch Washapp Facilities! No third Party service providers involved.

Women’s blouses for example are often more delicate than men’s shirts and the tailored fit often requires more care and attention at our end. This means they must be hand-finished and require more time and attention in order to ensure a high-quality finish. For this reason, the price for blouses and other delicate items may be higher. All of our pricing is clearly explained on our website and our mobile app so there won’t be any surprises or hidden costs.

Currently we aren’t able to offer a service for these types of items. Bespoke items tend to not have a care label and the fabrics may have not been properly strength tested. Due to this we would suggest to consult a specialist to ensure that your items are cared for in the best possible way.

Whether its rain or because your washing machine has broken down, we can't accept wet clothes. This is because it can contaminate other orders whilst in transit. If your items are currently wet, we ask that you dry them out before sending them with our driver so we can make sure they are returned in the best condition.

Knowing the hour time slot that your Washapp Agent will arrive in is useful at this phase, but we like to be more specific than that. In our next update, You will receive a text message with the ETA of the driver arrival as well as being able to follow him on a map. Unfortunately this functionality is not available for the Website and App at this time but we are hoping to roll this out shortly.

If you need to pass on a message, for example if you would like your order left at a reception, you can leave a delivery note when placing the order or alternatively you can leave a message with a member of our customer care team.

If our Agents our running early, you may receive an SMS message to ask if they can come to you a bit early. If this is convenient for you, you just need to reply "Yes" to the SMS message and the driver will know he can attend early.

Simply ignore the message and the driver will be with you at your scheduled time.
