Standard laundering procedures are defined as sorting laundry by color, washing laundry in a washer with detergent and water, and drying laundry in a dryer with heat. Should damage result from a deviation in standard washing procedures, please refer to instructions to Report Lost or Damaged items.
SOS Laundry Services will follow any reasonable instructions provided by the customer, including water or drying temperatures.

Although zippers generally are not an issue, the customer acknowledges that there is a possibility of zipper issues, zipper damage and damage to other items as a result of the zipper’s inclusion in the cleaning process with such items, while following standard wash procedures, and SOS Laundry Services , does not accept any liability for such issues or damage.
