9. Processing of Orders

• BlueSky follows standards and policies. These policies are standard to all dry-cleaners including classical retail dry-cleaning stores. We exercise utmost care in cleaning and processing garments entrusted to us and use such processes that, in our opinion, are best suited to the nature and conditions of each individual garment. Nevertheless, we cannot assume responsibility for inherent weaknesses or defects in materials which may result in tears or development of a small hole in fabric that are not readily apparent prior to processing. In dry-cleaning and laundering, we cannot guarantee against color loss, color bleeding, and shrinkage; or against damage to weak and tender fabrics
• Items go through a process that ensures professional cleaning as below:
  • Items received are inspected for stains, material defects, and cleaning procedures as recommended by the manufacturer (certain items will be returned, see Authorization Policy).
  • Each Item is marked with a unique barcode for identification. The barcode is linked to your order number.
  • Items are appropriately cleaned and pressed.
  • Items are inspected and the final touches applied.
  • Finally, they are sorted and packaged and loaded for delivery.
• BlueSky will take reasonable steps to inspect Items potential flaws or damage, and may notify you of our findings prior to cleaning. This process is not comprehensive and BlueSky makes no guarantee to find all existing issues during the inspection. You acknowledge and agree that BlueSky holds no liability for any loss or damage following a cleaning process where an Item has existing flaws or damage.
• BlueSky will take reasonable steps to ensure that Items are treated according to the instructions on the respective care labels. If an Item within one of these order types does not have a care label attached, BlueSky will treat the Item based on commonly accepted practices within the dry clean industry for that material type, as determined solely by visual inspection and at the discretion of the cleaning staff. BlueSky bears no responsibility for the result of cleaning any Item that does not have a manufacturer care label that is legible in English, nor for any damage that occurs if the care label instructions are incorrect or mislabeled.
• Please ensure to thoroughly check all the garments for hazardous items e.g. coins, pens, keys, etc. as we hold no responsibility for any items lost or damaged as a result of the cleaning process.
• Authorisation Policy
  
  The great majority of garments and household articles clean very satisfactorily. Occasionally, however, BlueSky may recognize a potential problem and ask you to sign a release form before processing the item. This procedure is to notify you that there are a potential problem and a certain risk in the proceeding. It may be a question about color-fastness, the resistance of one component to the cleaning process, or a question of the age of or weakness of the fabric. The main purpose of the release form is to alert you to the possible problem. If you agree, the item will be processed with extreme care and returned to you in a usable condition. However, if damage does develop, BlueSky will not be held responsible since it has warned you of the risk and obtained your consent to proceed. If BlueSky needs for a consent form, a Customer Care Representative will attempt to contact the customer for verification and authorization. If authorization for cleaning cannot be obtained in a timely manner, then BlueSky will deliver the item in question back to the customer. You may choose to re-submit them with a release form expressing your acknowledgment that BlueSky will clean them at customer’s own risk.
• Re-Cleaning Policy
  
  Within two (2) days after delivery, you may return any dry-cleaned items if you are not completely satisfied with the quality of our cleaning, and we will re-clean them free of charge. To request re-cleaning, please send an email to support@blueskylaundry.co.ke and explain the problem. A Customer Service Representative will contact you shortly to arrange a suitable time to resubmit the items and your designated Rider will pick-up the items on the schedule.
• Where you believe an Item has been damaged due to negligence during the cleaning process, you must contact BlueSky within five (5) days from when the item was dropped off to begin the review process. BlueSky reserves the right to examine the Item for a period of no less than forty-eight (48) hours in order to conduct analysis on the claimed damage.
• BlueSky will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Items will not go missing in the course of providing the Services. Where you believe that an item is missing following the completion of the Services, you must contact BlueSky within forty-eight (48) hours of scheduled drop off time of the Items at which time BlueSky will take all reasonable steps to locate the missing Items. You acknowledge that BlueSky may take up to five (5) business days to locate the missing laundry.
