Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, upfront answers on investment, operational support, machinery, and daily operations.
What is the minimum investment required to open a Wash Kiya franchise?
The staff-operated FOCM laundry franchise starts from ₹10 lakh, and the staff-free self-service laundry franchise for building campuses and private societies starts from ₹20 lakh. The franchise fee is ₹5 lakh. Final numbers vary based on your city, store size and location.
Do I need any previous dry cleaning or laundry experience?
No previous experience is needed. Over 85% of our franchise partners had never worked in laundry before joining Wash Kiya. We provide complete practical training on fabric care, stain handling chemistry, machine operation, billing software, and customer care.
How does the doorstep pickup & delivery system work?
Customers in your territory place orders through the Wash Kiya mobile app, website, or direct store phone. The order is automatically routed to your store dashboard with the pickup address and time slot. Your delivery executive collects the garments, and once processed, drops them back.
What kind of space or location is recommended?
For a standard retail store, 150 to 350 sq ft on a ground floor in a residential or high-street commercial area is ideal. For the self-service model, a laundry room within a building campus or private society is used.
What is the difference between the FOCM and self-service models?
FOCM (Franchise Owned, Company Managed) is a staff-operated laundry store that you own and Wash Kiya manages; Wash Kiya is the only brand in India offering it. The self-service model is a staff-free laundry setup for building campuses and private societies, starting from ₹20 lakh. Wash Kiya also supplies laundry machines and equipment on their own.
How soon can the store be launched after signing?
Typical store setup, machinery dispatch, interior branding, and staff training takes 30 to 45 days from agreement completion.
