Frequently Asked Questions.

Scheduling a pickup is easy! You can schedule a time by logging into your online account, emailing support@garmentvalet.com or by texting or calling us at 617-442-5326.

When selecting your pickup/drop-off location during the signup process or directly with your driver, please make sure that we are able to access that location. Many clients entrust us with keys or access codes for their buildings so we can deliver orders right outside their apartment door. Our encrypted key tag system ensures anonymity and safety.

Frequently selected points of service include:

• Concierge desk or building management office
• Building lobby or entryway
• A room or closet designated by building management for Garment Valet service
• Outside the customer’s apartment door

Unattended service means we (Garment Valet) have the okay to pick up and deliver your order without you being present. If your building doesn’t have a concierge/ doorman, we may ask for a key or buzzer code so we can complete your order.

Most concierge buildings carry Garment Valet Welcome Kits at the front desk. These kits contain all you need to send out your first order, including a name tag and temporary laundry bags. If your building does not carry GV kits, we can arrange for our driver to drop one off for you or you can get started by using a bag of your own– just make sure sure it is labeled with your name, customer ID #, and the type of service desired. We will provide you with permanent bags and reusable tags upon the delivery of your first order.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Customer Service team at: support@garmentvalet.com

At Garment Valet, we provide 48-hour service to most high rise buildings in the Boston/Cambridge area. Other buildings, including brownstones and walkups may have a more limited service schedule with a 2 day turnaround. To verify your building’s service schedule, enter your address into our website or contact our customer service at support@garmentvalet.com.

Orders that require extra cleaning or servicing (e.g. tailoring) typically require 2 day turnaround regardless of your location.

Wash Dry & Fold orders are weighed separately for each customer, sorted by fabric needs (plain whites, lights, darks) and then tracked by the washer and dryer used. When completed, the order is then assembled, weighed and tagged for delivery or pick up.

For Special Care orders each garment is inventoried individually with our barcode system and closely tracked throughout the entire cleaning, packaging and delivery process.

At Garment Valet, we currently serve most neighborhoods in Boston including: the North End, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Cambridge, Charlestown, Downtown Boston, Kenmore/Fenway, Medford, NEU, the South End, and the Seaport area.

We accept notes or special instructions in the form of a physical note in your laundry bag or in the “special instructions” box when scheduling a pickup online.

Our top priority is providing the proper cleaning and transportation of your clothing. There are specific instances where we will refuse to clean an item either at pickup or after being spot-checked in our facility. One reason might be that the garment has obvious high levels of wear and tear. Another reason might be that the garment is simply too fragile to be laundered or dry cleaned. If you have questions about a specific garment, you can contact Customer Service: support@garmentvalet.com

Your satisfaction is one of our main concerns. If you are not happy with the quality of cleaning or service, please contact us at support@garmentvalet.com and we will re-clean your garment free of charge.

At Garment Valet, we accept payment by debit card or credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover). We do not accept checks or cash.

For Special Care orders, there is a $25 minimum if you are in a high-rise concierge building.  There is a 15 pound or $32.25 order minimum for all wash/dry/fold orders

Your first garment bag for each service type is free (one for Special Care and one for Wash/Dry/Fold). Replacement bags / additional bags are $5 each.

We do! We send out email coupons and seasonal promotions to our customers throughout the year including monthly promotions.

At Garment Valet, we are conscious of how our actions affect the environment. We encourage you to submit hangers for recycling with your next order pickup. All you have to do is package them apart from your regular dry cleaning/laundry, place them in a separate bag, label it as “Garment Valet- Hanger Recycling” and we’ll take care of it from there.

If you experience a problem with your order we are here to help. Please call or text our customer support team at 617-442-5326 or email us at support@garmentvalet.com with any questions or issues.
