FAQ — Liveaboard Boats
1001How fast can you turn around a full liveaboard load?
Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours for a full boat load. If you have a same-day departure, we can arrange priority processing — just let us know your dock time in advance.
02Can you sort laundry by cabin number?
Yes. If you provide a cabin manifest or label bags by cabin, we can sort and return linens by cabin number. This saves your crew significant time when re-making cabins.
03Do you handle guest personal laundry too?
Yes. Guest personal laundry can be included in your pickup. We process it separately and return it labeled by cabin or guest name.
04How do you handle salt-damaged towels and linens?
Salt-exposed fabrics get extra rinse cycles with filtered freshwater to remove all salt residue. We also use fabric softener to restore softness that salt exposure strips away.
05Can you work with our docking schedule if it changes?
Absolutely. We understand liveaboard schedules shift with weather and conditions. Just WhatsApp us your updated arrival time and we'll adjust our pickup accordingly.
06Do you pick up directly from the dock?
Yes. We collect from the Labuan Bajo harbor or your specific dock location. Our team meets your boat with bags and handles all the logistics.
07What about dive gear on the liveaboard?
We can clean dive gear (wetsuits, BCDs, booties) alongside your linens. Dive gear and linens are processed separately with appropriate treatments for each.
08Can you service multiple liveaboard boats we operate?
Yes. We serve operators running multiple boats. Each vessel's laundry is tracked separately, and we can coordinate pickups across different dock times.
09How do we get billed?
We offer per-voyage billing or monthly invoicing for operators with regular schedules. Each invoice includes weight breakdowns and item counts for your records.
10What if we need extra linens washed mid-voyage?
If your vessel returns to port mid-trip or has a port stop, we can process a partial load. Just message us your arrival window and we'll have a team ready.
