Availability & Locations
Where is Bubble Box available?

Bubble Box is available throughout Switzerland. We have different services that can be selected depending on the region. You can find more info here.

Does Bubble Box have stores where you can stop by and get personal consultation?

Sure. Several, in fact! You'll find our stores in Rotkreuz, Basel and Binningen.

I am not in the home delivery area. Is there anywhere I can drop off my laundry?

Yes, you can drop off your laundry directly in our shops or in the locker stations and public pick-up points. You can find an overview here. Otherwise we will be happy to serve you with our service "Wöschpost".

Dry Cleaning & Washing
What are you cleaning?

We clean almost everything that can be washed or dry cleaned. From clothing to carpets to leather and fur.

How long does an order take with you?

This varies depending on the service type, but at least 48 hours.

Do all items take the same amount of time?

No. For carpets and leather treatments, as well as repair and alteration work, the turnaround time is approximately 2 weeks.

Can I have my things express cleaned?

After consultation with us (best by phone) and if possible, we can offer this in most cases. For express orders (within 24h) a surcharge of 50% of the order value will be charged. Not every order can be accepted express. Please clarify this with us beforehand. Carpets, leather goods and sewing studio orders are also excluded.

What is the cost of cleaning?

The prices vary depending on the article and material. Here you can find a price overview.

What is washed and what is dry cleaned?

We wash the items we are allowed to wash at 30 °C, 40 °C or 60 °C in the washing machine and then tumble dry. If the care label says that the item cannot be washed, it will be cleaned. If there is no care label, our team will act on their expert opinion or will return the item untreated.

What is the difference between washing and dry cleaning?

Depending on the fabric and processing, textiles can be washed in the washing machine or cleaned in a special process. Cleaning is more time-consuming and therefore slightly more expensive.
Washing removes water-soluble stains, while cleaning removes grease-based stains.

Which clothes are ironed?

In general, we iron all items that can be ironed, except for the offerings "Wash & Fold" and "EASY". The ironed textiles are then returned to you hanging on the hanger, unless this was otherwise specified by you in the order or with the Wöschpost.

Can I book an ironing service only?

For hygienic reasons we do not offer the ironing service without prior cleaning. We have decided to iron only freshly washed textiles, otherwise we cannot ensure that the clothes are free of dirt and stains. In addition, textiles need a certain amount of residual moisture for a wrinkle-free result.

Who treats my clothes?

Our team. Bubble Box offers you the entire service from a single source. This allows us to offer you consistent quality.

I have an allergy. Do you have any special detergent for me?

We generally use ph-neutral detergents or balance the ph-value during the cleaning process to avoid skin irritations. Our detergents are also fragrance-free. We are happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

My item came back, but the stain is still on it. Why?

Depending on the type of stain and the possibility of treatment, stains may not be completely removed or, in the case of certain materials, may only appear after the cleaning process. For example, in the case of fabrics that can only be dry cleaned, water-soluble stains may appear that were previously invisible and can only be removed with a wash cycle. We treat your clothes according to the care instructions and with the appropriate means. If the soiling cannot be removed, the garment will be returned to you with a note. In this case, with your written consent and on your responsibility, we can treat it again with other means and contrary to the care instructions, trying to remove the remaining stains.

My garment suddenly has a stain where there was none before. What happened?

Please contact us if this happened. It may be that, depending on the type of fabric, certain stains will only become visible after treatment. It may also be that we have made a mistake. We will be happy to pick up the garments again, inspect them and find a solution with you.

My garment had been damaged during the cleaning process. What should I do?

We are very sorry and this should not happen. Please contact our customer service department as soon as you notice it. We will then find a solution together. Please refer to our terms and conditions.
In case of a refund, we will need the receipt of your garment and will then compensate the corresponding value based on the current value table of the Swiss Textile Federation.

Is it possible to clean clothes that are infested with mold?

In case of mold infestation, we need to inspect the clothes first. Most but not all clothes with mold can be cleaned. In this case, please contact our customer service for assistance.

Can clothes infested with viruses/vermin also be cleaned?

Yes, we will take care of that as well. However, please inform us before you just drop off these clothes, because we need to "quarantine" them and keep them separate from the other garments. Please note that the processing time is longer for such cases.

We have water damage and textiles that have been contaminated by it. Can we give them to you?

Yes! Contact our customer service so that we can provide you with a quote for your insurance and define the procedure.

We had a fire and the clothes are full of smoke. Is it possible to clean it?

Yes, we also take care of fire damage. Contact our customer service and we will provide you with a quote for your insurance and define the further process.

How do I need to sort my laundry for pickup?

Depending on which offering you have chosen. "EASY" comes in the dark blue "EASY" laundry bag, "MIX & MATCH" in the beige cotton bags. With "MIX & MATCH" you can simply put your laundry into one of the beige laundry bags. We will then sort your textiles in our production facilities based on the colors, materials and care labels.

I have different beige laundry bags, one for Dry Cleaning and one for Wash & Fold. Can I pre-sort my laundry like this?

In the "MIX & MATCH" offering, the bags are not an indicator of how the laundry is processed. You only have to differentiate between "EASY" = dark blue, "MIX & MATCH" = beige. Our employees in the laundries are professionals and know exactly which articles may be treated how. That's why we make a quick inspection at every incoming laundry and sort the laundry according to our product range and the care labels.

No problem - our drivers always have laundry bags with them. Otherwise, you can contact us in advance and we will send you a laundry bag.

Do I have to tag my laundry?

What happens if I am not home at the time of pickup or delivery?

If you are not at home - don't worry, this can happen to anyone. The first time we do not charge you a fee. For further misses we charge a no-show fee of CHF 19.90.

I am not at home when the delivery is made. Can you also deposit my laundry at my front door?

Of course. At your request, our drivers can also leave the laundry at your doorstep. We will then take a proof photo of it. As soon as the laundry is unloaded by us, the liability is transferred to you.

As soon as your laundry arrives in our production facility, it is cleaned, folded and carefully packed. Our cleaning process takes about 48 hours. After cleaning, the package is handed over to the post office and usually delivered to you the following working day.

My laundry bag has not been picked up despite a scheduled pickup. What can I do?

We are sorry. Please contact our customer service by phone. We will then create a new pickup with you.

Do I need to include a list of my belongings in the laundry bag?

No, this is not necessary. We count and weigh your clothes before washing. However, you can enter your textiles to be cleaned in the order process if you wish.

Can I also get my clothes on hangers?

No, with the Wöschpost you get your clothes back folded.

My package was lost. Who is liable?

Your clothes are in our care during the cleaning process.

When the post office has delivered the package according to your instructions, the liability lies with you again.

The postman has deposited my package without my consent. What can I do?

Excluded from the "EASY" offering are clothes that require dry cleaning, as well as carpets, curtains, leather goods and additional services.

How much does "EASY" cost?

Per "EASY" laundry bag you pay only CHF 59.- including collection and delivery

How big is the "EASY" laundry bag?

The dimensions of the "EASY" laundry bag are 47 cm x 28 cm x 28 cm.

What fits in the "EASY" bag?

In the "EASY" laundry bag fit for example:
– 5 T-Shirts
- 1 hoody
- 1 pair of jeans
- 2 terry cloth towels
- 1 set of bed linen (fitted sheet, pillowcase and comforter cover)

How tightly can I fill the "EASY" laundry bag?

You can basically pack textiles into the "EASY" laundry bag until it is full (maximum filling capacity on the laundry bag) and can still be closed well. We recommend that you do not overfill the "EASY" laundry bag, as the clean and folded textiles must fit back into the bag for delivery. If the maximum filling capacity is exceeded, an additional bag will be charged.

How are the textiles treated in the "EASY" offering?

The textiles are machine-washed at 30° C, 40° C or 60° C and tumble-dried in accordance with the textile care label.
– Clothes: machine-steamed and delivered folded
– Shirts & blouses: machine steamed (not ironed, also collars and cuffs are not ironed) and delivered hanging on hangers
– Flat linen and terry cloth (e.g. bed/table linen, bath towels): tumble-dried and delivered folded

What does steamed mean?

With "EASY", the garments are steamed. They are conveyed hanging through the tunnel finisher. In the process, the wrinkles are removed with the help of steam. With "EASY", the textiles will not be ironed.

What is a tunnel finisher?

The clothes are hung on hangers on a conveyor belt and automatically transported on it through a system of several chambers. In these chambers, the clothing is treated with steam and hot air. First, it reaches a steam area in the tunnel finisher, where steam is sprayed through nozzles onto the garments. The steam makes the fiber formable. Then, warm air is blown onto the garments from above. The temperature and the strong air flow smooth the textiles. Before finally leaving the tunnel, the clothes are fixed with cooler air.

Can I also put textiles for dry cleaning in the "EASY" laundry bag?

No. The "EASY" offering only includes textiles that can be washed and dried by machine according to the textile care label. Textiles that cannot be washed or tumble-dried according to the textile care label will be sorted out and treated, invoiced and delivered according to the "MIX & MATCH" offering.

With "EASY", are stains also treated?

No. With "EASY" all textiles are washed only according to the temperature indicated on the care label. If you have garments with heavier soiling or stubborn stains, you can hand them over in the beige laundry bag for the "MIX & MATCH" offer. These will then be charged per piece.

Can I also receive my "EASY" textiles ironed or book additional services?

No. If you would like to have your clothes ironed or require additional services such as waterproofing, you can put them in the beige laundry bag for the "MIX & MATCH" offering. These will then be charged per piece.

I do not have an "EASY" laundry bag. Can I drop off the items in the beige cotton bag or in any other bag?

No. Please contact us or ask our drivers directly for the "EASY" laundry bag.
We will wash and charge the textiles based on the laundry bag you drop off your clothes in.

What is the difference between the dark blue and beige bags?

The color of the laundry bag defines the selected offering:
"EASY" = dark blue laundry bag
"MIX & MATCH" = beige laundry bags (regardless of the format)

Bedding
What bedding can I get cleaned with Bubble Box?

We clean your comforter, pillows as well as mattress covers, bed linen and sheets.
Comforters and pillows made of down, synthetic fiber, natural fibers as well as natural hair can be delivered to us for cleaning.

Why should bedding be cleaned regularly?

People lose up to half a liter of fluid per night, as well as many small skin flakes. These not only settle in the bedding, but also get stuck in the pillow and comforter. Down can clump, the materials can no longer absorb the sweat at some point and the balancing warming effect of the comforters and pillows can be impaired. In addition, they are a paradise for bacteria and mites. Good daily airing can be a good preventive measure. This is best done while the bed is unmade. Nevertheless, pillows, blankets and mattress covers should be cleaned every 1 to 2 years to get rid of the residues.

How long does the cleaning take?

You will have your bed contents back in no time. The processing time is about 48 hours and they will be back with you on the ordered delivery date.

What is the cost of cleaning the bed contents?

The cost varies depending on the size, texture and filling materials. On our price list you will find the corresponding costs listed.

How are bed contents treated?

We clean or wash your bedding according to the manufacturer's textile care label. The materials are cared for gently and sustainably.

My comforter still has stains despite cleaning. Why?

This can happen because of the processes. Washing dissolves water-based stains, while cleaning dissolves grease-based stains. Your textiles are hygienically clean after treatment. However, it may be that, for example, visible water-based stains are still present after cleaning, because the product must not be washed according to the care label.

Leather cleaning
Can I give my leather clothing to you as well?

Yes, we also clean leather garments. Please note that the processing time is about 2 weeks. If you include leather and regular wash, you will receive your items in partial shipments.

How much does leather cleaning cost?

The prices depend on the size and the desired service. You can find an overview here.

How often should leather be cleaned?

Leather is a natural product and is very robust and durable if you take good care of it. If you grease the leather once or twice a year, it will generally last a very long time. The drier the leather, the faster it absorbs dirt. However, cleaning is not necessary on a regular basis if the leather is well cared for.

Can I have the leather maintained as well?

Yes, we maintain the leather after cleaning and grease it again, so that it regains its shine and protective layer.

Can my leather piece also be dyed?

Leather can also be dyed or recolored. We will be happy to advise you personally.

Can I clean leather at home by myself?

We recommend that you hand over your leather to professionals. Home remedies and remedies from the supermarket are often not adapted to your product and damage it rather than make it shine. If you take care, professional use is necessary rather rarely.

Carpet cleaning
Do you clean carpets?

Yes, we also clean carpets. Please note that the processing time for carpets is about 2 weeks.

What type of carpets do you clean?

We clean everything from regular household carpets to museum carpets.

How much does a carpet cleaning cost?

Prices vary depending on carpet size, type and required maintenance. For carpet cleaning we charge a minimum of 1x m2 for CHF 29.00.

I do not know what kind of carpet I have.

No problem. Here you will find a little help. Otherwise, we will be happy to advise you personally. The best thing to do is to take pictures of your carpet and send us the photos by e-mail, then we will get back to you.

How are carpets treated?

Carpets are first measured and inspected for damage. Then they are beaten and washed. Only in the case of special contamination, a special cleaning procedure is necessary.

How is a carpet washed?

The carpets are washed as in the Orient. Depending on their characteristics, they are soaped on the washing surface with a disc brush machine. Stubborn stains are treated with an appropriate stain remover. The carpet is rinsed with plenty of water using special flat-jet nozzles. Dewatering is done by long-drum centrifuges without deforming or wrinkling the carpet.

Is it possible to additionally waterproof the carpet?

We do not offer this. Our long experience has shown that on used carpets waterproofing often does not achieve the desired results. Each carpet is an individual and therefore it is not easy to find the perfect dosage for impregnation. In order to protect our customers from money badly invested, we do not offer carpet waterproofing. A clean well rinsed wool is largely self-cleaning.

Should I book additional moth protection?

Moth protection can be added on request. This process is called eulanization. This lasts about 12 years and survives washing twice. The investment can therefore be well worth it.

Do I have to worry about my carpet deforming during washing?

No. For carpets whose basic fabric is made of real hair, tensioning may be necessary after washing. The carpet is stretched to straighten any waves and deformations. Depending on the case, an additional finishing may also be necessary.

Can any kind of stains be removed?

In general, yes. Of course, it depends on the material of the carpet, what the stain is made of and how long it has been there. We will be happy to advise you personally.

Can I have my carpet repaired as well?

Yes, sure! We offer different kinds of repair work, such as pulling in new fringes, cranking edges or plugging holes and tears. We are happy to advise you on this.

I live in a multi-story building without an elevator. Will you still pick up the carpet?

Yes, we will do that anyway. However, please inform us at least two days before the pickup so that we can schedule two employees for the pickup if necessary.
