Do I have to wash the cloths?You are responsible for washing them. They are all easy care and can go in the washing machine and dryer. - Cloths must be laundered within 48 hours after the event to prevent mold and stains from setting in. -Promptly remove cloths from dryer, and fold to limit creasing. -It is extremely important to make sure cloths are completely dry before they are folded. There will be a $15 fee for any cloth that needs to be re-laundered due to excessive creasing or stains. There is a $40-100 fee (depending on the cloth) for cloths that are ruined and no longer useable after you have borrowed. Alternatively, you can bring cloths to a laundromat to have them washed and dried. I recommend Beach Maytag laundry next to Walmart in North Miami Beach.

How do I prepare cloths for return?-Once cloths are completely dry, they should be neatly folded and placed in white or clear bags. NO BLACK GARBAGE BAGS. -No more than 5 cloths should be placed in a bag UNLESS they are coming from a laundromat. In that case you can return them way the laundromat gives to you assuming the bag isn’t extremely heavy! -If you are returning more than one set of cloths, please make sure not to put assorted sets in one bag. Only cloths from the same set should be placed together. -DO NOT TIE OR KNOT BAGS
-
How do I return the cloths?They can be left in the DROP OFF bin at 1311 NE 174th St. Please make sure the cloths are placed INSIDE a bin upon return. If the DROP OFF bin is full you can leave in any bin at this address. DON’T LEAVE ANY BAGS OUTSIDE THE BINS.
