Damage Claims Compensation Costs
AUD 500 per court-awarded claim; typical AUD 200-1,000 per garment/set based on Fair Claims GuideDry cleaners are liable for damages if they fail to follow care labels or use unsafe practices, requiring compensation via the Fair Claims Guide which depreciates based on age, condition, and replacement cost. Disputes escalate to mediation or court if unresolved.
Cost of Poor Quality
AUD 5,000-20,000 per year per outlet (2-5% of revenue from rework/refunds based on industry standards for service errors)Manual inspections in pre-treatment, post-spotting and final pressing stages fail to detect all issues, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and financial losses via refunds or lost repeat business.
Lost Items Compensation and Shrinkage
AUD 200-1,000+ per lost garment based on replacement/depreciated valueLost articles during custody require compensation at fair value per Fair Claims Guide. Responsibility assumed if proven submitted and disappeared.
