The Welcome Kit consists of one blue laundry bag, one green dry cleaning bag (if applicable) and one white mesh “special attention” bag and a welcome card.
What if I am not home when you pickup and deliver?
No problem. Just leave the laundry somewhere we can access it and then log into your account and edit your Pickup/Delivery Instructions. Many customers have us leave their laundry at their back door or in a foyer if they are not home. Whenever possible, please select a drop-off site that’s protected from the elements.
When will my laundry be picked up and returned?
That depends on your neighborhood. We make every effort to build our routes to make sure you have a consistent and convenient pickup/drop-off time.
When is the latest I could schedule a pick up?
We prefer you schedule your pickup by 4:00 am the day of your pickup. This allows enough time for the drivers to plan their routes for the day.
Is there any way that Wash Hampton could remind me to leave my laundry out for pickup?
Sure. We send all of our customers email and text reminders 24 hours before scheduled pickups.
I forgot to leave my laundry out on pick up day. What should I do?

However rare this is, it can happen. If there is a severe storm, such as a blizzard or a hurricane, we will return your laundry to you as soon as it’s safe for our drivers to do so. We will keep you updated to any changes via phone, email and/or text.
What is the turnaround-time?
You can expect your laundry to be returned less than 24 hours after we pick it up. Dry cleaning will be returned within 72 hours of pick-up.
Where is laundry left for pickup/drop-off?
We recommend that your pickup/drop-off location be protected from the elements if possible. Most customers have us leave their laundry on a front or back porch, in a garage or with their building manager. We also use common sense and watch the weather. If a hurricane or blizzard is coming, we’ll contact you and make alternate plans.
