Avoiding consumer law pitfalls in the drycleaning industry

Avoiding consumer law pitfalls in the drycleaning industry

* Almost every complaint you get boils down to one of three consumer guarantees — was it done with due care and skill, fit for purpose, or finished in a reasonable time?

* Followed the care label but the garment was still damaged? You are probably in the clear. Departed from it without telling the customer? That is where liability shifts to you.

* A wedding suit ruined the day before the event, an emergency rental at short notice — customers can claim more than just the value of the garment when something goes wrong.
