Preparing For Your First Pick Up
Do I need to separate my clothes?
Yes, but don’t worry its easy! Just separate your Dry Cleaning items from your Wash & Fold items and your good to go! Feel free to leave your dirty laundry outside in garbage bags for pickup or use our reusable DropMint bags. Upon delivery of your 1st order you will receive reusable DropMint bags that you can use for next time!
We are not responsible for any loose items such as watches, jewelry, money, or lint balls lost in the cleaning process. If clothing is needed to be left outside for pick up, we suggest reusing our custom DropMint bags or garbage bags.
What should I do if I am constantly not home and don’t have time to wait for a Minty Man?
A great question we get a lot! Our customers have done a few things, if your work is a part of one of our areas we cover schedule your pick up and drop off times when you will be at work and we will be there! If that is not an option, simply separate your items and leave them with your building concierge or right outside your door. We suggest reusing your custom DropMint bags we give out with every order to leave your clothing left for pick up in.
What about my special preferences?
You will be able to indicate your detergent preference and delivery preference during your order. If you have any additional special requests, you may add them into the special notes section or let your Minty Man know. We know how important your clothing is to you, so we do our best to get it done just the way you like it
Can you pick up/drop off my dry cleaning & laundry items even if I’m not at home?
Yes, actually a lot of our customers do it that way! Please leave any special instructions about your order beforehand.
Pricing & Billing

Your card will then be charged for the full balance after pick up of your order. You will be emailed an itemized receipt. Have a question about charges? Feel free to reach out to customer support at any time.
Is there an order minimum?
Our order minimum is $35 for Dry Cleaning, and there is a $30 minimum on Wash & Fold.
What if I do not have enough clothing to meet the order minimum?
That is A-OK, we will simply just charge you the minimum order amount and still process your clothes.
Is there a delivery fee?
Nope! Free pick up and delivery.
How will my order be charged?

What if I miss my pick up or dropoff?
We understand that life happens and you can't always be home when you intended. If you know in advance that you won't be there for your DropMint rendezvous and it's unsafe to leave your order by your door, please adjust your delivery time by phone 858.433.6370. or reach out to our helpful customer support team at support@ilovedropmint.com to avoid any unnecessary charges.

Our Service
What type of detergent do you use?
We offer two types of detergent: Allergy Free (7th Generation or equivalent) or a scented option (Tide Brand). You will be able to select which detergent type you prefer through the preferences subsection when you place your order.
Is your dry cleaning green?
Absolutely! Our facility uses either ‘Green Earth’ or Hydrocarbon solvent for cleaning which are the most green-friendly options for dry cleaning. No perc is used during our Dry Cleaning process.
Are there certain materials you can’t process?
Yes, unfortunately given the delicate nature of leather, we are unable to process leather at this time. This includes faux leather and suede. We are also unable to process rugs, curtains, or any articles containing hazardous materials, severe smoke damage, or blood/human excrement. If there is an item that our cleaning team is unable to process, you will be notified and it will be returned folded, but uncleansed.
What about that pesky stain I can’t seem to remove?
We do our absolute best to remove stains, but some are unfortunately permanent. Once stains have become part of the fabric, continued attempts to remove them will cause dye loss or fabric damage known as chafing or fraying.
Can DropMint hang/line dry or hand wash my clothing?
No, we cannot hand wash garments at this time. Yes we can hang dry certain items :) Some of these items; however, can be processed with extreme care by drying them on the lowest setting. Let us know if any such items are included in your order, and we’ll see what we can do!
But where do you actually take my clothes?
We have two DropMint facilities that process Wash N Fold orders and Dry Clean orders which is why we ask that you separate your clothing. We ensure that both of our facilities meet the strictest industry standards in taking care of your clothing.
Do I get to keep the awesome DropMint bag?
Yep, you sure do! Every year, approximately 700 million plastic dry cleaning bags head straight for the landfills. DropMint wants to help drive that number down by providing customers with reusable laundry & dry cleaning bags!
Dry Cleaning & Laundering
What is Wash & Fold?
This is best for all dryer safe clothing. Your clothing will be washed, dried, and then returned folded.
What is Dry Cleaning and how will I know if an item is meant to be dry cleaned?
Dry cleaning refers to a cleaning process involving chemical solvents. You should dry clean items made of delicate fabrics (silk, wool, etc) or items that can’t withstand the rumble and tumble of a typical washing machine or dryer.
Ok, so then what is laundering?
Laundering is a process reserved for men’s cotton button down shirts. Laundered items are washed and then steam pressed and hung for delivery.
