FAQ
Answers, before you have to ask
Twenty-two questions we are asked most often, answered honestly — including the ones where the answer is “not yet”.
Professional garment care, collected and returned.
Crown Dry Cleaner & Laundry
Two working days is standard for most garments. Suits and lined items usually come back on day three. If you need something sooner, we run a same-day express service at any branch before 10:00 for an additional charge.
Yes, within our coverage areas in Dar es Salaam and on orders above TZS 20,000. Outside those areas we will quote a delivery fee before we collect, never after.
Upanga, Masaki, Oyster Bay, Mikocheni, Kinondoni, Msasani, Mbezi Beach and the city centre. If your area is not listed, send us a WhatsApp message — we often still cover it.
Most, but not all. Age, heat and previous attempts to wash a stain out are what usually make it permanent. Tell us what caused it and roughly when, and we will give you an honest assessment before we start rather than an apology afterwards.
Cash, M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money or card at any branch. For collections you can pay the driver on delivery or send mobile money against your ticket number.
We inspect every item on arrival and flag existing weaknesses on your ticket. In the rare case that we cause damage, we settle it — repair, replacement or refund — under the terms shown at the counter. Bring the ticket and speak to the branch manager.
Two weeks before the day for a pre-wedding press, and within a month afterwards for cleaning and preservation. Sugar, wine and perspiration are invisible at first and oxidise brown over time, so the sooner a gown reaches us the better the result.
Yes, on request in Dar es Salaam. We photograph the hanging arrangement before removal so everything goes back exactly as it was.
None at a branch counter. For free collection the minimum is TZS 20,000, which is roughly three shirts and a pair of trousers.
A closed-loop solvent system with recovery, so the solvent is filtered and reused rather than discharged. Garments are aired before they are bagged, which is why they do not come back smelling of chemicals.
Not online yet — that is coming. For now, message the branch on WhatsApp with your ticket number and you will get an answer the same hour.
Suits measured, cut and finished for one person.
Crown Suit Designer
Three to five days from first measurement, across two fittings. Wedding parties should allow eight weeks so there is room to correct something without anyone panicking.
Two for a first suit: one at the basted stage and one before finishing. Once your pattern is on file, repeat orders often need only a single visit.
Yes. Bring it before your measurement appointment so we can check the width and weight — a two-piece suit needs about 3.5 metres, and some imported cloth is narrower than it looks.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Bring the garment and the shoes you wear with it, and we will tell you what can be improved and what cannot before you commit.
Open-weave wool in the 240–280 gram range, or a wool-linen blend. They breathe far better than polyester, which traps heat and shines under a camera flash — the reason many wedding photos look worse than the suit did in person.
Clinical-grade recovery, at home or in the office.

Foam wash, polish and vacuum while you wait.
Crown Car Wash
About 15 minutes for a foam wash and tyres, or 45 minutes to an hour with the interior vacuumed. There is shaded seating while you wait, and most people drop laundry at the same branch and collect both together.
No — drive in and we will take you in turn. Saturday mornings are busiest, so a quick WhatsApp beforehand saves you waiting.
Foam is applied and left to dwell before anything touches the panel, which is what prevents swirl marks. We keep separate mitts for wheels and bodywork — brake dust carried on a body mitt is how paint gets scratched.
