Item description
- Suitable for: pleated skirts, pressed-pleat skirts and school uniform pleated skirts
- Turnaround: usually about 5–7 working days (see Turnaround below)
- Special treatment: washing and pressing method chosen according to the fabric
How Well the Pleats Come Out Depends on the Fabric
The pleats of a pleated skirt are set into the fabric. In synthetic fibers such as polyester, the pleats are heat-set and hold up well to washing. In wool, silk, rayon and similar fibers, the pleats fade more easily after cleaning and may even disappear. So we check the fabric at pickup before deciding how to wash and press it.
How We Handle It
- Intake check: We check the care label, material, stain locations and any existing damage or loose seams, and take photos for the record. If there is any risk, we tell you first and only go ahead with your OK.
- Securing the pleats before cleaning: We arrange the pleats neatly and put the skirt in a mesh bag so the pleats don't get jumbled during the cycle.
- Pressing pleat by pleat: Pressed one pleat at a time along the original pleat lines. Natural fibers are pressed at a lower temperature with a pressing cloth.
FAQ
Can you clean school uniform pleated skirts?
Yes. Uniform skirts are mostly polyester, so the pleats usually come back well after pressing.
How often should it be cleaned?
After everyday wear, just hang it up so the pleats fall naturally, and send it for cleaning when it gets dirty or at the change of season. For storage, hang it by the waistband on a clip hanger and don't let other clothes press down on it.
Not Sure If It Can Be Cleaned?
Send us photos on LINE of the whole item, the care label and the areas that need attention, and we'll take a look first.

Read Before Ordering: Care Notes & TermsTap to expand
Thank you for trusting us. To make sure your clothes and valuables get proper care and to protect both sides, please read the following notes carefully before sending items for cleaning:
1. Please check before sending items (basis of our disclaimer)
Empty all pockets:Please check pockets carefully before handing over items. We are not responsible for storing or compensating for cash, IDs, jewelry, earphones, receipts or other valuables left behind. If we find anything, we will keep it safe and return it, but please check to avoid unnecessary disputes.
Tell us about existing flaws:If a garment already has tears, loose seams, dye stains, fading, loose buttons, heavy yellowing or moth holes, please tell the counter staff when you drop it off, or let us know on LINE.
Valuable or high-end items (e.g. Chanel/Hermès bags, high-end leather, tailored suits): we recommend our premium care service (Luxury Item Care). Please check the item's current condition together with our staff in store or discuss it online (e.g. leather wear, oxidized hardware), and have it noted on the cleaning ticket.
2. Cleaning and stain removal results (reasonable expectations)
About difficult stains:For sweat, blood, ink, juice, paint, old yellow stains or mildew, we do our best with professional enzymes and stain removers on the affected area. If a stain is very old, or the fibers have already deteriorated or taken on the color, we cannot promise it will come out completely.
Special materials:
- Unstable or non-colorfast dyes: if a garment's dye is not colorfast, it may fade slightly after cleaning.
- Coatings / PU faux leather / waterproof seam tape: these materials have a limited lifespan (usually 2–3 years) and may peel or lose seam tape during cleaning due to hydrolysis and aging. If peeling has already started, it will usually get worse after cleaning, so please keep this in mind.
3. Storage of uncollected items
Collect on time:When your items are ready, we will send you a text message. Please collect them with your claim ticket within 30 days of the notice, or contact us to arrange delivery.
Late storage fee:From day 31, a storage fee of NT$10–20 per item per day applies to uncollected items (up to 3 months).
Abandonment of ownership:Items not collected more than 6 months after the notice date are considered abandoned by the customer. We may recycle, donate or otherwise dispose of them to free up storage space, and the customer may not object or claim compensation.
4. Checking items at pickup and handling disputes
Check on the spot:When collecting, please check on the spot that the number of items and accessories (e.g. belts, fur collars, liners) are complete, and check the cleaning quality.
Re-cleaning window:If you find an item not fully clean or poorly pressed, bring it back to the shop with your receipt within 3 days of pickup (with our laundry tag still attached and unworn), and we will redo it free of charge.
5. Compensation for loss or damage
We carry liability insurance. If a garment is seriously damaged, deformed or lost due to improper cleaning on our part, compensation follows the Ministry of Economic Affairs' "Mandatory and Prohibited Provisions for Standard Laundry Service Contracts":
- Regular garments: compensation is a multiple of the item's cleaning price (usually capped at 5 to 20 times, depending on depreciation).
- Valuable items without a declared value: if the value was not declared in advance and the item did not go through our premium care process, total compensation is capped (e.g. no more than NT$5,000–10,000).
Notes on Special Services
1. Down comforters / large bedding
Please check the bedding's care label when you buy it. Some natural silk and pure wool comforters are dry clean only or must not be washed. We never vacuum-compress animal fibers, to avoid physical damage to fibers and feather quills (down itself can be compressed).
2. Pet items
For hygiene, please remove loose hair and waste from pet clothing and beds before sending them in. We wash pet items separately using pet-specific disinfectant and dedicated machines, so you can send them with peace of mind.
