The 5àsec method

What happens to your garment, from the counter and back

Easy Life services

Built around your day, not ours

The care is the hard part; getting garments to and from us should be the easy part. This is the 5àsec service model — rolling out city by city as outlets open.

Pickup & delivery

The 5àsec model brings garments to and from your door on a slot you choose — rolling out city by city as each outlet opens.

Standard & express

A standard turnaround for everyday care, with faster express handling when you need a piece back sooner. Timings are confirmed at the counter.

Per-kilo & subscriptions

Everyday laundry by the kilo, and subscription options for households and professionals who send regularly — quoted at your store.

Booking & order tracking

Globally, 5àsec runs on its 5NET ecosystem — POS, an online customer portal and order tracking. India comes online on the same backbone.

Pricing is per garment and quoted at the store — send a photo on WhatsApp for a quote before you drop off.

Turnaround

Standard when you can wait, express when you can’t

Most garments follow a standard turnaround that leaves room for proper inspection, treatment and finishing. When a piece is needed sooner, express handling moves it to the front. Because timing depends on the fabric and the treatment, it is always confirmed for your items at the counter — never a promise the garment can’t keep.

Inspect first

Nothing is rushed past the diagnosis step, whatever the turnaround.

Express available

Faster handling when you need a piece back for an occasion.

Confirmed at drop-off

Your timing is set against your actual garments, not a generic clock.

Checked before return

Speed never skips the second quality check.

Questions about the process

Bengaluru has the first Indian outlet — 5àsec Marathahalli — now open, with Master Hubs under construction in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Ludhiana and Delhi.

How does the 5àsec cleaning process work?

Every garment is audited and tagged at drop-off, then inspected so the fabric, colour and stains are understood before treatment. Marks are spotted by hand, the garment is cleaned by the method its fabric needs — solvent or water — then steam-finished, checked a second time against its ticket, and packed ready for pickup or delivery.

How long does dry cleaning take at 5àsec?

5àsec offers a standard turnaround for everyday care and faster express handling when you need a piece back sooner. Exact timing depends on the garment and treatment, so it is confirmed when you drop off.

Does 5àsec offer pickup and delivery in India?

Doorstep pickup and delivery are part of the 5àsec service model and roll out city by city as each outlet opens. The first Indian outlet, 5àsec Marathahalli in Bengaluru, is now open — ask your local store which services are live.

Will my garments be mixed up with other customers’?

No. Each item is tagged and audited in at the counter and checked against that ticket before it is returned, so your garments stay yours from drop-off to collection.

Can I track my order?

Globally, 5àsec runs on its 5NET digital ecosystem, which includes an online customer portal and order tracking. India comes online on the same platform as outlets open.
