Dry cleaning
isn't instant.
Built for formal wear and costume shops that won't send out a stained gown.
Claim Your SpotBuilt for formal wear and costume shops that won't send out a stained gown.
Claim Your SpotA bridesmaid dress comes back Sunday evening after a Saturday wedding. Wine stain on the hem. Needs professional cleaning.
Your dry cleaner takes 48 hours. But you have that same dress reserved for a fitting Wednesday morning.
The math doesn't work. But your calendar didn't know to block it.
Next-day service costs extra. Standard service is 48-72 hours. Your buffers need to reflect this reality.
Stains. Tears. Missing buttons. Broken zippers. You can't assess a garment's condition in 5 minutes.
If a garment was altered for one customer, it may need adjustment for the next. More time.
Know which size/color is available when. Don't rely on generic inventory counts.
Before and after photos for every rental. Stain disputes settled with evidence.
