LEATHER / SUEDE ITEMS
Although most suedes, leather and fur clean beautifully the removal of all stains and marks CANNOT be guaranteed. Some slight changes in colour and texture maybe noted after cleaning, therefore all matching accessories MUST be cleaned together to avoid possible differences. We exercise care and use caution and safe, tested methods in processing your items however we cannot be held responsible for improper tanning, dyeing, gluing (which may result in staining), shrinkage or other manufacturing defects and damages present prior to our acceptance that may become more apparent after cleaning (including natural deterioration from wear and tear and scars in
the skins). All garments without manufacturers cleaning instructions or purchased overseas will be cleaned at customer’s own risk.

DAMAGE OR LOSS
All damage claims / complaints should be brought to the notice of Kings Cross Laundry within 24 hours of the item(s) being delivered. The very nature of dry-cleaning, laundry and ironing services renders it impossible for us to guarantee against loss of colour, colour bleeding or shrinkage.

Kings Cross Laundry exercises extreme caution in order to avoid misplacements or loss of items in our care.

Kings Cross Laundry’s count of garments is final and deemed correct in the event no complaints are received within 24 hours.
You may have a claim against the chosen Laundry for damage or loss. You agree to accept our standard when assessing a claim for damage or loss and determining any compensation payable. This standard is the widely recommended and accepted International “Fair Claims Guide” for Consumer Textile Products. Your acceptance of this method of assessment and
determination is a fundamental condition of our service. A copy of the guide is available for download from the website of the Dry Cleaners Institute of Australia www.drycleanersweb.com.au.
Each Customer accepts that dockets provided to them when leaving laundry to be cleaned are naturally lost or misplaced by them. We accept the Customers description of the laundry being collected by them or third parties as final and will provide the Laundry on payment. There is no compensation payable for this loss, although if compensation is deemed to be payable such compensation is capped at three (3) times the docket price for that loss item.
