Restoration Laundry Service in Chicago, IL

Drop & Dash cleans fire, smoke, and water-damaged clothing, linens, and soft contents for restoration jobs and insurance claims across Chicago. Restoration work is scoped by phone: call (773) 436-1994 and tell us about the job.

Soft contents we handle

Machine-washable items only: we are a wash and fold operation, we do not offer dry cleaning, and we will tell you on the phone if part of a load falls outside that scope.

How we work with restoration teams

Every job starts with a phone call: give us the scope and the timeline, and we will tell you straight what we can take on. We pick up and deliver across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, and we bill by credit card or invoice. Contents work runs through our commercial laundry service.

Restoration jobs go straight to Damon Sklivas, our head of commercial laundry services, at (773) 436-1994. You scope the job with Damon directly, not a call center: he tells you what we can take on and how fast, and he stays your contact from pickup through return.

Why restoration teams send us contents

Textiles are the contents category that is cheapest to restore and easiest to total by mistake. A documented laundry pass saves a claim real money against replacement cost, and gets a family their own clothes back instead of a check.

The work runs on commercial-grade washers and dryers with controlled cycles and temperatures, professional laundry chemistry, high-temperature controlled drying, and ozone-enhanced washing built for odor and soil removal, including smoke odor. Drop & Dash has run laundry delivery across Chicago for 15 years and holds a 4.7-star Google rating across 313 reviews.

In the unlikely event an item is damaged or lost, we make it right. The claims process is covered in our service terms, and your account contact handles it start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

What is contents laundry?
Contents laundry is the cleaning of textile contents from a damaged property: clothing, linens, and soft goods affected by fire, smoke, or water, cleaned and documented as part of a restoration claim.
We treat smoke-exposed clothing with an ozone-enhanced wash process that targets smoke odor and soils, and we assess each load before promising results. What comes out depends on the fabric, the item, and how much smoke it took on. When we do not think a piece will come back right, we say so up front.
