EN Laundry follows the Mandatory and Prohibited Provisions of Standard Form Contracts for Laundry Services announced by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (amended June 30, 2014, Jing-Shang-Zi No. 10302409170, effective January 1, 2015). The full official text is on our Chinese page and on the Executive Yuan website (in Chinese).

Below is a short summary for convenience. It is not an official translation; if there is any difference, the Chinese text prevails.

Key points

  • Receipt: we give you a laundry receipt with our name, contact details, address, and the items, quantities and prices.
  • Lost receipt: tell us right away. You can still collect your items with other proof; we may ask for ID and a signature.
  • Inspection: tell us about special stains, tears, loose buttons or anything that could be damaged by cleaning. We check items when we receive them and note any problems on the receipt.
  • Care labels: we follow the care label unless we agree otherwise. If there is no label, several labels, or the label looks wrong, we explain and agree the method with you first.
  • Turnaround: if no date is agreed, items are ready within 15 days of receipt. More than 5 days late: the cleaning fee is halved; more than 30 days late: cleaning is free.
  • Storage: if you don't collect on time, we keep your items free for one more month. After that a storage fee may apply, capped by the regulation.
  • Loss: if an item we are responsible for is lost and its value can't be shown with a receipt, compensation is 20 times the cleaning fee (up to NT$15,000) during the storage period, or 10 times (up to NT$10,000) after it.
  • Damage: compensation for damage is capped at 10 or 15 times the cleaning fee depending on the cause, and never more than the replacement price. Severe damage counts as loss.
  • Valuable or special items: you can agree a separate cleaning fee and compensation amount with us in advance.
  • Collection: please check your items when you collect them and tell us right away about any problem.
  • Personal data: we handle your personal data under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and keep it confidential.
