Back at reception

Returned to your hotel reception in a sealed bag with your name on it. We text you when it lands.

Done

Every bag, every time

Wash

Sorted into lights/darks when you choose Colour Separation. 40°C colour-safe cycle, hypoallergenic detergent, no fabric softener unless requested.

Dry

Tumble dried on fabric-appropriate heat. Delicates and wool are air-dried flat with the Delicate add-on.

Fold

Folded flat retail-style, socks paired, underwear bundled. Shirts can be hung instead (+$5 for 5).

Bag & return

Returned in a sealed, named bag to your hotel reception on the next scheduled run. Text on arrival.

Timed to your hotel's run, not a courier.

Because Sparkle already collects housekeeping linen from your hotel, your bag leaves and returns on that same schedule. That's what makes 24–48 hours reliable, and same-day possible.

  • Dropped before 9am → back next morning (most CBD hotels)
  • Dropped after 9am → back within 48 hours
  • Express same-day at selected hotels (+$15, book before 9am)
  • Saturday drop-offs return Monday
Daily hotel runs

Only when you want them

Add-ons unlock once your bag meets the 4 kg minimum — the same rule as the in-hotel guest form.

A few things we'll hand back

We're a wash-and-fold, not a dry cleaner. These come back unwashed with a note, and you're not charged for their weight.

  • Dry-clean-only labels, suits, structured jackets
  • Leather, suede, fur, embellished garments
  • Heavily soiled or contaminated work gear
  • Anything with cash, keys or passports still in the pockets
Checked on arrival

Service questions

Do you iron?

No — Wash, Dry & Fold is exactly that. Shirts come back folded, or hung with the Hanging add-on, which removes most creasing. Pressing and dry-cleaning are not offered.

What temperature do you wash at?

40°C as standard with a colour-safe detergent. Choose the Hygiene add-on for a 60°C cycle (sports gear, towels, kids' clothes).

Can I send one bag for two people?

Yes. Add the "Sort by person" option and label items or sub-bags; we return separate folded bundles.

What happens to lost or damaged items?

Every bag is photographed on arrival and counted. Our liability terms cover loss or damage up to the limits in our Terms. Please empty pockets — we're not responsible for items left in clothing.

Can I track my bag?

You get an email when it's collected, when it's weighed and confirmed (with any adjustment), and a text when it's back at reception.
