Washmart is a full-service fabric and lifestyle care brand providing professional laundry (Wash & Fold, Wash & Steam Iron), premium dry cleaning, designer sneaker & leather shoe spa, steam ironing, carpet cleaning, and curtain cleaning services.
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.
You can place an order by clicking 'Schedule Pick-up' on our website, calling our nationwide helpline at 072177 97548, connecting via WhatsApp, or visiting any of our 400+ store locations across India.
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.
Yes! Our stores have dedicated pre-spotting tables equipped with specialized spotting chemicals imported from Europe. While we achieve a 95%+ stain removal rate, we advise never rubbing or ironing a stain at home before bringing it to us, as heat can permanently set the stain.
Bridal wear, zardozi lehengas, and silk sherwanis undergo our Haute Couture Protocol: embellishments are covered with protective shields, fabric is inspected for loose threads, and gentle hydrocarbon dry cleaning is performed with low-temperature drying to maintain luster.
We strictly follow the international care label attached to each garment. Whites and heavy bedding are sanitized at optimal temperatures (40°C–60°C), while colors, synthetics, and silks are gently washed in temperature-controlled cold cycles to preserve fiber integrity.
No. We use pH-neutral eco-friendly detergents and specialized softeners that protect garment fibers. Every item is sorted by color category (whites, lights, and darks) and fabric weight before processing.
Regular laundry (Wash & Fold, Wash & Steam Iron) is delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Standard dry cleaning takes 48 to 72 hours. We also offer 24-hour Express Delivery for urgent requirements.

Our Shoe Spa includes deep exterior scrubbing with horsehair brushes, ultrasonic midsole cleaning, deodorization, insole sanitization, lace washing, un-yellowing treatments for sneakers, and conditioning for leather footwear.
