    Reasons for laundering clothes

    1. To remove perspiration which if not removed may damage the garment.

    2. To remove dirt and grease which may discolour the garment or cause them to

    smell.

    3. Launder clothes for hygienic purposes. Dirty clothes may carry germs which

    bring about diseases e.g. skin diseases.

    4. Well laundered clothes maintain their color better

    5. Garment which are frequently and properly laundered last longer becau

    perspiration is not given time to damage fibers.

    6. Laundered and well ironed clothes stay clean for a longer period as dust does not

    stick on the smooth surfaces.

    7. By ironing clothes, insects and germs which get on to the clothes as they dry are

    killed

    8. To give clothes good a shape and to make them look as new as possible.

    The process of laundry ensures the care of clothes and other items made of textile fibers

    of different types. For efficiency in laundry work, the basic equipment apparatus and

    appropriate cleaning aids are essential. Equipment and aids have continually been

    developed to make laundry work easier and more enjoyable. Despite the presence of this

    equipment, there is needed to understand the properties of the fabrics in common use to

    facilitate the choice of methods for the general care of clothes.

    Finance is the back bone of every business. There is no business without the finance and

    usage of finance in efficiently manners is also very important because this is the thing if

    and service fee so this section is planned very carefully so that we can also fulfill the

    PLACE

    We have researched the market for "door2door personal laundry services" and the results

    leave no doubt about the market opportunities. There is a growing demographic

    population of students and working people with so much to do and so little time. Their

    activity-based life style leaves less time for household chores. A reliable door to door, no

    hassle service is a very welcome and valuable option. In fact, a convenient delivery and

    collection service, for laundry and dry cleaning, has never been made available to these

    "on-the move" high potential customers. We have decided to launch our services in Pune,

    where we have targeted certain locations (Aundh, Pimple Saudagar, Wakad, Magarpatta,

    Koregaon Park, Chinchwad) which are industrial and educational hub. Apart from these

    locations, our target destinations would also be IIMs , IITs and other campuses where

    colleges offer residential programs. We selected these areas very carefully so that we can

    cover this huge populated city and get maximum market can share through easy access to

    our customers. Here we are planning to have tie ups with the institutions where we will

    have an automated machines ofCLEAN FREAKin the space allotted to us in the campus

    wherein we will be working in two shifts i.e. at noon and around 6.00p.m. The students

    will be informed that our employees would be coming twice in a day and they are

    supposed to drop their dirty clothes in the laundry bag kept near the machine. The clothes

    given at noon will be returned in the evening at 6.00 pm and the clothes given in theevening will be returned next day in the afternoon.

    on-field job. The only purpose of sending the employees for on-field job is customer

    building and customer retention. Customer building and customer retention is possible

    only when the employees start building rapport with the customers and customer start

    developing trust on the employees. The customers are rest assured that they are giving

    and the quality of service offered from physical evidence. Physical Evidence is the

    material part of a service. Strictly speaking there are no physical attribute, so consumer

    tends to rely on material cues. The major elements of physical evidence includes the

    physical environment, the modes and content of communication, service personnel the

    tangible elements accompany the service and the brand. There are many examples of

    physical evidence.

    the heavy clothes would be packed with paper between each fold so that the ironing

    doesnt get spoiled.

    The Service Process of Laundry Services:

    The process begins with the customer placing the service request, over the phone,

    for the collection of the linen from his residence. Here the details about the

    customer are recorded and queries, if any, are attended to by the Executive.

    Based on the service request, the van arrives at the customers residence & the

    delivery boy visits the house. This is the first face to face with the customer.

    The delivery boy now collects the linen by tagging the garments & placing them

    in the collection bags. He also gives the customer an acknowledgement receipt.

    These collection bags are then brought to the laundry where the actual process

    starts

    o First, the clothes are sorted based on parameters like colour i.e. whites,

    light coloured & dark coloured.

    o Treatment is applied on the areas with stains/ dirt (such as collars)

    o The linen is then soaked in water along with the detergent. The duration is

    usually 30 minutes to 1 hour.

    o This is followed by washing of the linen in a high-performance washing

    machine.

    o They are then placed in the dryer for 45 to 60 mins

    o They are then taken out and some those not needing ironing are folded are

    the rest of the linen is sent for ironing.

    o Lastly, the linen is packed in plastic bags and are then ready for delivery

    The Invoice is prepared and sent to the customer along with the delivery of the

    linen

  • 8/7/2019 CLEAN FREAK

    The process ends with the delivery of the linen to the customer and the collection

    giving up the safety and quality factor.

    Quality is one of the concerns the customer has while handling over their clothes to theservice provider. But at CLEAN FREAK, there is no need for the customers to worry

    about the quality of their clothes. Quality is given due importance at CLEAN FREAK.

    At CLEAN FREAKwe believe in following things:

    Preserving fabric quality. We classify the different items that the the customers give us

    so that each are washed in its proper setting. For example, silks are washed differently

    from lyocells. This kind of handling is necessary to ensure that all the items are kept in

    good condition. It is also a very good method to make sure that fabrics will last longer

    and look its best.

    Proper handling of items. Laundry services with good standards operate in clean

    surroundings. We keep our premises free of dust, dirt or any other materials that may

    sully the clients' clothes. We also do not allow smoking so that the items retain its

    fragrance from the wash. Additionally, quality laundry service is done by trained

    personnel who take all the necessary steps to care of the clients' items.

    Be efficient and timely. Time translates to resources, and the sooner the items are

    returned to the clients the better. A good launderette can perform its washing services at a

    minimum of three hours per visit. We do the job as soon as possible for the convenience

    of the client and also to get more jobs done, a mark of a serious business. We provide

    same-day collection and return services to even bulky items like rugs and carpets.

    Competitive rates. All clients want services that are worth what they are paying. Some

    launderettes may offer services at a cheap price but have a shoddy output. But on the

    other hand, high price may not always mean quality service. So what the customers

    would like to look for is a launderette that gives quality service at the minimum price and

    we at CLEAN FREAKbelieve in providing quality service at minimum price.
