You can use any bag you have that can be properly secured so that your items of clothing and membership card don’t fall out.
Some people use a pillow case, others use a drawstring bag and some customers choose to buy one of our reusable branded bags from our shops.
Is it free to use the pods?
We don’t charge you for using the pods, just for the cleaning of your dirties.
Will my clothes be safe in the pods?
Our pods are monitored for security and are covered under the same insurance policy as we have at the shops. This means your clothes are covered at both our pods, shops and cleaning hub.
Does the cleaning happen in the pods?
No, we collect your clothes and take them back to our cleaning hub.
The pods only store your clothes for a very short period of time.
How long does it take to drop-off at the pod?
Drop off takes 3 seconds- yep we timed it. You scan your unique QR code within our app, open the drop-off door, pop your bag of dirty clothes in, shut the door and you’re all done.
How will I know when to collect my clothes from the pod?
You will receive an email as confirmation you have dropped off your dirties. When your clothes are back at the pod waiting for you, we’ll send you another email with a QR code and instructions on how to pick up your clean items.
You can then collect at a time that works for you.
Can we guarantee complete stain removal?
Sadly, we can’t guarantee complete stain removal but every item we clean is returned to our customers in the best possible condition it can be, on time, every time.
We clean thousands of items a month and every item passes through a 2-stage quality check. We aim to get it right first time and achieve this 99% of the time. If we don’t think we can get the stain out we put a ‘Best results’ card on your item to let you know.
How long does a pod clean take?
This depends on what needs to happen to the clothes you drop off. Our standard clean for most clothes is 2 working days.

We offer a full range of repairs and alterations that are done by our in-house seamstress, Lily Sinclair. All repairs and alterations come back pressed and ready to wear and we can clean them as well.
