Barcodes

Spring Cleaners will adhere a permanent barcode to your garments in an inconspicuous location. Our barcode technology helps us track your item throughout the cleaning process. It also helps ensure consistent billing and special handling requests on every visit.

Some items cannot accommodate a permanent barcode and will be tagged with a temporary barcode. As a result, we will not have a trackable history for those items.

Care Label

In order to protect your garments, Spring Cleaners follows the Care Label instructions on each item we process.

If one of our garment care specialists determines your item needs to be cleaned by a method contradictory to its care label, then we will advise you of any potential risks. If you authorize Spring Cleaners to proceed, then Spring Cleaners will not be liable for any damage.

If you request a cleaning process that contradicts the garments Care Label, Spring Cleaners will advise you of any potential risks. If you authorize Spring Cleaners to proceed, then Spring Cleaners will not be liable for any damage.

Garments with missing or removed Care Labels will be evaluated by a garment care professional and cleaned with the utmost care. Spring Cleaners will advise you of the best cleaning method and any potential risks.

Spring Cleaners’ garment care specialists will handle your garments with the utmost care. Items will be cleaned using specific processes which, in our opinion, are best suited to the nature and conditions of each garment. Nevertheless, due to many variables, we cannot guarantee against color loss, color bleeding, shrinkage, damage to weak fabrics, or damage to ancillary items, trims and other embellishments. Cleaning

Dry cleaning is the process of cleaning textiles in a solvent based solution instead of water. Spring Cleaners uses EcoSolv, an environmentally conscious dry cleaning solvent. EcoSolv provides the perfect balance of delivering great cleaning results, without harming our environment.

Spring Cleaners’ Dry Cleaning Process is further enhanced by our commitment to solvent purity. Our solvent is continually purified through over filtration and distillation to remove all impurities. Additionally, we utilize the best detergent available, leaving your clothes clean and scent free.

Wet cleaning is the process of washing “dry clean only” items using procedures that prevent shrinkage, loss of color, and fabric distortion.

Our wet cleaning process is different. Spring Cleaners has developed and built special washers for this process. Additionally, we have worked directly with a chemist to develop a unique detergent and conditioner used to ensure the safe cleaning of these items. If your “dry clean only” item needs to be wet cleaned, you can depend on the experts at Spring Cleaners.

Spring Cleaners commercial laundry process involves washing and starching the item, then pressing it from wet to dry on specialized equipment. We utilize an enzyme detergent that is safe on colors and brightens whites. This product also eliminates the need to pretreat collars and cuffs, which helps prolong the shirt’s life. Our dual injection starch process gives your garments a smooth yet stiff finish.

• Not every garment type can be cleaned using this method. This process is specifically designed for:
• Men’s button down shirts (cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blend)
• Women’s button down blouses (cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blend)
• Denim or cotton jeans/pants

 

To prevent damage, items that have other fibers, including spandex should not be cleaned using this method. Items with snap buttons or other embellishments should not be cleaned using this method.

All starch is not created equal, that is why Spring Cleaners invested in our dual injection starch process. This results in a smooth, crisp finish. You will be able to see and feel the difference. Upon request, laundry items can receive the starch level of your preference. We offer no, light, medium, and heavy starch level options.

During the professional shirt laundry process, shirts are pressed from wet to dry on hot head presses under high pressure. From time to time, this causes buttons to crack and break. Spring Cleaners replaces broken and missing buttons on clothing we process free of charge. If we fail to replace a broken or missing button, please let us know and we will replace the button and reclean that item for free.

Our team makes every effort to replace buttons with an exact match. When a suitable replacement cannot be found or acquired, Spring Cleaners will replace all the buttons on the item with an agreed upon alternative.

Spring Cleaners team members inspect every garment several times during the cleaning process. However, we also ask for customers to inform us of any stains, including location and type, when dropping off an order. The odds of successful stain removal increase if our technicians know what caused the stain.

Please note, Spring Cleaners cannot guarantee the removal of all stains. Our experienced dry cleaning professionals use the best stain removing products and techniques on the market. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, some stains are permanent or cannot be completely removed. Permanent stains are often caused by the following:

• Stains left on garments for a prolonged period of time,
• Application of home stain removal remedies,
• Chemical damage from spillage of alcoholic beverages, medications, perfumes, after shaves, hair dyes and perspiration.
• Superglue, PVC glue, some inks and paint.

Spring Cleaners will treat problematic stains with great caution. However, some stains require a more aggressive approach with the potential of damage to the garment. Customer approval and a release of liability is required before Spring Cleaners attempts these advanced stain removal methods.

Spring Cleaners does not charge an additional fee for stain removal, as it is included in the cost of cleaning an item. Our experts successfully remove approximately 85% of all stains. However, because of the labor and expense involved to clean garments and treat stains, the cleaning fee is not waived when a stain cannot be completely removed.

Spring Cleaners reserves the right to change prices at any time and without notice. Spring Cleaners gladly accepts the following forms of payment; Cash, Credit Card, Gift Card, Spring Cleaners Charge Account, Check and Spring Cleaners – Automatic Billing. Returned checks are subject to a $25.00 service charge.

Customers are must pick up their entire order on the return visit. Fair Price Policy

• The shape, cut or style as reasonably related to the difference in body proportions between males and females

Return/Re-Cleaning Policy

Spring Cleaners inspects every garment before returning it to the customer to ensure it meets our strict quality requirements. We also encourage our customers to inspect their articles at the time of pick up. If you receive an item that we processed and you are not 100% satisfied, please let us know and we will happily re-process the item(s) free of charge. Item(s) should be returned to us within 30 days, not worn and in its Spring Cleaners packaging, if possible.

Spring Cleaners exercises great care in cleaning and pressing garments entrusted to us. Spring has invested in the best facilities and equipment available. Our staff has years of experience and extensive training. Damage to a garment can be incurred in many ways and is not always visible until after the item is cleaned.

Damage can occur in any of the following ways:

• During the manufacturing process
• Through normal wear
• Improper storage
• During the cleaning process

For these reasons and despite our best efforts, some garments will not withstand any normal cleaning processes. Garments can contain defects in materials which may result in tears or development of small holes in the fabric that are not readily apparent prior to processing. This type of damage is often a result of improper storage or normal wear and tear by the user. Spring Cleaners is not responsible for garments that incur damage as a result of age, normal wear and tear and improper storage.

Spring Cleaners cannot guarantee against color loss, color bleeding, shrinkage, or any other problem that results from improper manufacturing.

• If the garment was cleaned according to the care label and it suffers damage during the normal cleaning process, the manufacturer is responsible for the damage and the item should be returned to the place of purchase.
• If the garment suffers damage due to our negligence, the item will be repaired if possible, or we will follow our claims process.

Spring Cleaners’ garment care experts work extremely hard to ensure high quality dependable cleaning. However, we cannot eliminate all human error. The most common damage caused by cleaners includes; aggressive spotting techniques causing color loss or holes, failing to follow the care label or damage to fragile decorative elements. In the rare event that one of our team members damages your garment, Spring will accept responsibility and follow our claims process.

If it’s determined that Spring Cleaners damaged your item(s), Spring Cleaners will pay the Fair Market Value for the garment(s).

Spring Cleaners has invested in the latest barcode technology to minimize human error and greatly diminish the possibility of lost garments. However, there will be instances where items may get misplaced or lost. If this should occur, we ask that you advise us of any discrepancy within 30 Days of picking up your garments. When reporting a lost item please provide the type of garment, brand, color, description, size and the date of drop off. We will promptly investigate the matter.

If it’s determined your item(s) were lost in our care, Spring Cleaners will pay the Fair Market Value for the garment(s)

If you have a garment that is lost or damaged that results in a claim, Spring Cleaners will pay the Fair Market Value, not the full Replacement Value for the item. To determine the fair market value, Spring Cleaners utilizes information provided to us from the customer, information from our computer system, and other market factors.

The “Fair Claims Adjustment Guide” was developed by the American National Standards Institute and is used by Federal and State courts, insurance companies, dry cleaners and other textile related industries all over the world.  Most dry cleaners cap claims to ten (10) times the cleaning price. Spring Cleaners does not believe this is fair or honest, and therefore we do not use this standard.
