Traveling is Just Doing Laundry in Other Places

It's been awhile since I wrote again after too busy weeks for me managing my business and home in the comfort of my home. Well it's almost Easter week and many of us are planning to go somewhere far from home. Travelling also means you are not exempted to do your laundry specially right now in this long weekend vacation. Having to stay far from home requires you to have a clean clothes all the time. If your staying at a hotel they offer laundry services which of course would cost you much and most of the time they don't accept washing your undergarments so you need to seek a place where you can do the washing for your intimate wear or wash it yourself.

But if your staying in Metro Manila you are lucky because Raspberry Laundry now offers a reliable pick up service wherever you are and deliver it back to you wherever you will be from 8 in the morning til midnight, yes you heard it right til midnight so no need to worry if you are stuck up in traffic we can have it picked up and deliver as late as 12 midnight. But if you are staying outside Metro Manila well I guess they also offer laundry services near the hotel or apartments that you are staying but you should be very extra careful where you will hand your precious clothes with.

Purpleberry Laundry

Originally Purpleberry Laundry and Purple and Green Laundry in Mandaluyong City is one of our business package set up project. I personally designed it and named Purpleberry after my own laundry thinking that this laundry would really make a name in the laundry industry but unfortunately, I was belittled and disregarded for all the hard work. In short we cut all our ties including the support and supplies to Purpleberry Laundry and Purple and Green Laundry.

It just bothers me that I have been receiving complaints from customers from Mandaluyong City and the most recent one was from Flair Towers.To make things clear we would like you to know that Raspberry Laundry is not related to these company. The fact that we were the ones who trained them doesn't mean we were one or the service are the same. In terms of operation we were always upgrading our standard operating system to give our customers the best that we can. That is why it really makes me sad that my name is being used in the wrong manner.I put all my heart to this business and I would always want to be known for quality of the services that we provide.
