E&R will not pick up laundry in a non-E&R bag or an E&R bag with a non-E&R bag attached.

CLEANING POLICIES

All items submitted for cleaning must adhere to E&R’s handling policies.

E&R – The Campus Laundry follows industry best practices, but variations in fabrics and dyes may lead to color loss, bleeding, and shrinkage despite following manufacturer’s care instructions.

Please note: E&R is a commercial laundry using commercial equipment. Items may be processed differently than in home machines. Our experienced fabricare experts determine the processing method based on professional judgment.

All processing is done in our state-of-the-art facility by fabricare experts who have decades of experience in all areas of our operation.

E&R – The Campus Laundry videotapes the unpacking, washing, folding, and repacking processes. While labeling is not mandatory, we recommend it for added identification.

E&R’s policy is to clean everything in the student’s personalized laundry bag, provided we have the capability to clean it, regardless of additional charges.

Different plans entail different cleaning methods. Please review your plan details for clarity on charges and included services.

If you have signed up for E&R’s Wash/Dry/Fold or Just the Basics plans, our fabricare experts will clean garments in the manner that E&R deems most appropriate to ensure their proper care.

Items with delicate care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low, hand wash, line dry, etc.) or unique features (buttons, clasps, embellishments) will incur additional charges for gentle care or dry cleaning with our Wash/Dry/Fold or Just the Basics plans.

Sweaters are always processed through our Gentle Care/ Dry Cleaning process and will incur a piece price charge with our Wash/Dry Fold and Just the Basics Plans.

Items that cannot be commercially laundered and needing dry cleaning and/or gentler cleaning process will be charged per piece cleaning charges to the credit card that is on file monthly.

E&R’s Look Sharp plan includes dry cleaning and gentle care at no extra charge.

Additional charges will still be incurred for sending multiple bags, (expect with our Premium Plan), requesting major repairs or alterations.

Though we carefully inspect all clothing to determine what can go through our wash/dry/fold process vs. what needs gentle care or dry cleaning, please note that regardless of the plan purchased:

E&R cannot be responsible for damage to items without care labels or with special care instructions.

E&R does not gentle care or dry clean everyday items such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, or jeans. E&R’s standard procedure as it relates to the cleaning of t-shirts (long and short sleeved, camisoles, tunics, and tank tops), sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, and jeans (denim, white and colored) for all plans is to launder these items regardless of the care label.

E&R’s liability as pertains to these types of garments will be limited to $75 per garment based on fair market depreciation.

All bras, underwear (including delicate) and bathing suits, are always wash/dry regardless of care label. E&R is unable to provide any alternate cleaning methods for bras, underwear, or bathing suits.

Certain items like coated jeans, everyday items (t-shirts, sweatshirts), and specific materials (leathers, suedes) have limitations or exclusions in processing.
Items such as sneakers, backpacks, handbags, etc., will not be processed. They will be returned in a white customer service bag on a hanger with a $7.50 fee per unprocessed item.

STUDENTS PLEASE NOTE:

Prior to sending clothing for processing, kindly remove any paper name tags to avoid complications during cleaning.

Please refrain from sending clothing decorated with glitter, puff paint, tie dye, or other “arts and crafts” elements. These items may damage other clothing during our heat and cleaning process, and E&R will not be held responsible for any resulting damage.

Before submitting clothing, check all pockets for items such as ballpoint pens, lipsticks, wallets, iPods, earbuds, etc. Remove safety pins, club pins, and brooches. E&R is not responsible for damage caused by items left in pockets or for the loss of such items.

Ensure all leather or fashion belts are removed from clothing before sending them in for processing.

Valuables in Pockets:

Items of value ($30 or more) found in pockets or laundry bundles will be shipped back to you at your expense. A Customer Service Representative will contact you for payment options to cover shipping and handling fees. Unclaimed items within 90 days will be donated, disposed of, or destroyed.

Cash in Laundry Bundles:

Any cash (more than $15.00) found in laundry bundles will be returned to the student or school in the form of a check via USPS. A processing fee of $10.95 will be incurred for these mailed checks.

REPORTING POLICIES

All claims, including those for missing or damaged items, must be reported within 10 days of the order’s completion.

Due to variations in fabrics and dyes E&R – The Campus Laundry cannot guarantee against color loss, bleeding, and shrinkage when following manufacturer’s care instructions.

E&R – The Campus Laundry takes additional steps to remove stains identified prior to processing. However, we cannot guarantee the removal of existing stains.

While we attempt to remove and return items from pockets, E&R – The Campus Laundry is not responsible for items left in clothing or any resulting damage

Upon receiving a missing/damaged item claim within the acceptable period, E&R – The Campus Laundry will take necessary actions to locate, repair, or reprocess the missing/damaged item(s).

If we are unsuccessful in resolving a missing/damaged item claim within 10 business days, reimbursement for said missing/damaged item(s) will be initiated.

E&R – The Campus Laundry follows American National Standards Institute Fair Claims Guide, which is a depreciated schedule based on the life expectancy of a given item, when determining reimbursements for lost or damaged items. This guide takes into consideration various factors, including fair market depreciation and the nature of the claimed items.
