FAQ

Questions families ask

How does pick-up work?+

We’re based in Stirchley and run two local rounds a week. Book by WhatsApp or the form. First time, leave your washing out however you like — we’ll put it in our bags. After that, fill the BusyBee bag we left you.

How long does washing take?+

Usually 2 to 3 days — collect on one round, return on the next. We don’t offer same-day. Washing, drying, and folding properly takes time, and collections don’t run every day.

How do I know how much to put out?+

You don’t have to guess. We give you a BusyBee bag. Fill it and close it — that’s one Little (£16) or one Family (£24). First collection, use any bag or hamper you’ve got. We’ll sort it into our bags so you can see the size, and leave empties for next time.

Do I need to weigh my laundry?+

No. The bag is the measure. Fill it, close it, done.

Do you wash bedding?+

Yes — a bedding set goes in a Family bag (£24). We wash duvet covers, sheets, and pillowcases. We don’t take duvet inners, pillows, or bulky items that need a giant commercial machine.

Do you offer a weekly plan?+

Yes. £44 a week for two Family bags, collected on the same round each week. We leave the bags with you. Spaces are limited.

What areas do you cover?+

We collect from Stirchley, Cotteridge, Bournville, Selly Oak, Selly Park, Kings Heath, Kings Norton, Ten Acres, and Brandwood — about 5 miles from Stirchley. Moseley, Northfield, Bournbrook, and Cannon Hill: message us with your postcode and we’ll say yes or no honestly. We don’t cover the rest of Birmingham.

How do I pay?+

You can pay now by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay when you book. Or pay when we bring the bag back — cash or bank transfer. We’ll send transfer details on WhatsApp if you need them.

What detergent do you use?+

Ordinary family detergent. Say if you need non-bio for sensitive skin. Please don’t send hand-wash only, dry-clean only, or items that can’t go in the tumble dryer.

What if something is lost or stained?+

Leave a note in the bag if something is already stained. If anything is lost or damaged, WhatsApp us straight away. We’re a small local service and we’ll do our best to put it right.

What do you do with my details?+

Name, address and phone are only used to collect and return your laundry. We don’t sell them or send marketing.
