What if I find restricted items or notice heavy stains?

Instructions for handling restricted items or stains, including what to do when an order poses a risk to your equipment.

Written by Becky Lasky

If you find restricted items (like heavily soiled laundry, strong smoke odor, pet hair, etc.) or notice major stains, follow these steps:

  1. Take clear photos of the items

  2. Stop processing the affected bag if handling it could damage your machine or raise hygiene concerns. Continue with other acceptable bags in the order.

  3. Contact Support through the app — we’ll review and guide you on next steps

Support may instruct you to:

  • Remove certain items and return them unwashed

  • Wash items with special handling

  • Or reject the order entirely- Set aside the affected items and continue with other acceptable bags in the order

  • Advise the member about restricted items to prevent future issues

⚠️ You are never expected to process an order that could damage your machine or create a safety risk.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive pet or human hair, especially if it triggers allergies or other health concerns. Minimize direct contact with the affected items.
