Nevertheless, we cannot assume responsibility for inherent weaknesses or defects in materials which may result in tears or the development of small holes in fabric that are not readily apparent prior to proceeding. We cannot guarantee against colour loss, colour bleeding and shrinkage; or against damage to weak and tender fabrics. Precautions will be taken to alleviate any problems where possible.
7.2. Given the delicate nature of some leathers and suede’s, all leather and suede garments are cleaned entirely at your own risk, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any damage or fading as a result of the Cleaning Service.

8.2. Washing and Drying Process - The load is washed at a 30-degree cycle and tumble dried on a medium heat. As we process a high volume we will not be able to cater to personal requirements (e.g. temperature, washing powders, etc.). Please note that the items are not ironed.

8.5. Damaged Items - We will not be liable for damage to items as we wash by the load and do not inspect the care labels of each garment.
