Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike traditional dhobis who wash clothes in open, unhygienic community ghats and beat garments with harsh chemicals, Washmart operates state-of-the-art European washing machinery, uses calibrated non-toxic eco-friendly solvents, washes garments individually to prevent cross-contamination, and provides free doorstep pickup and tracking.

We follow strict hygienic protocols: every customer's laundry is processed in dedicated, segregated wash cycles with medical-grade antibacterial rinse. We disinfect all delivery hampers and steam sanitize all finished items at 120°C before tamper-evident packaging.

Our stores and customer support are open 7 days a week, Monday through Sunday, from 08:00 AM to 08:30 PM.

Laundry uses water with specialized detergents to clean everyday fabrics like cottons and linens, followed by tumble drying and steam ironing. Dry cleaning uses pure solvent fluids instead of water to dissolve oils, grease, and stains without causing fabric shrinkage, color bleeding, or thread damage to delicate garments like suits, silk sarees, and woolens.
