WHEN RECEIVING AT THE COUNTER, YOU HAVE
THE DUTY TO :
1) Carefully inspect the garments.
2) Inform your customer as to the eventual
results.
The key to a satisfied customer resides
in the accomplishment of these two tasks.
IMPORTANT :
When taking in suede or leather garments
:
1) Use the available information leaflets
(ex. Better Business Bureau or I.F.I) to inform your customer .
2) Identify all existing stains and
show them to your representative. (Inform your customers that certain
stains may not disappear because of the cellular structure of the
skin.) Refer to our stain chart.
3) Examine the fading spots and the
worn out areas because the cleaning will accentuate the variations
between the different skins.
4) Be on the look out for any defect
such as rents, missing buttons, broken zippers, defective snaps, stiff
and rough skins, holes, etc.. Show them to your customer and note
them on your invoice.
5) Any torn or unstitched area of the
garment must undergo repair prior to cleaning to prevent the aggravation
of the damage. Charge applicable fees and duly advise your representative.
6) Verify that the lining does not
outstrip the garment at the bottom or sleeves. Duly specify it on
your invoice.
7) Ornaments, buckles, loose buttons,
"expensive or rare", and laces. If these items have to be removed
and put back on to avoid damages or loss, we have to charge a minimum
fee. Advise your customer.
8) All parts of ensembles, multi-piece
outfits must be processed at the same time to ensure color match.
9) The coloration is not 100% guaranteed,
but the garments will be restored as much as possible to their original
color. The texture of unfinished leather (cuir sauvage, "NUBUCK")
may drastically change if a recoloration is necessary. (On request
only)
10) A responsibility waiver duly signed
by customer is necessary for risky garments :
Ex.. Multicolored (proncipally those
with black)
- Vinyl
- Ornaments
- Belts
- Purses
- Hats
- White and beige gloves
- Rabbits
- Ties
- Ski gloves
11) Sheepskins Rugs : Check with your
customer to determine if the skin is stiff or torn.
12) If any of the above mentioned defects
are found, clearly show them to your customer and list them on the
invoice.
We cannot accept any responsibility
for failure on your part to advise your customer of the risks associated
to leather and suede cleaning.
PLEASE : Inspect the garment carefully
and advise your customer accordingly.
