CFPA Costume Rental handles all the cleaning of its costumes. When costumes are returned from a rental, the costume rental coordinator will assess which costumes require cleaning.
Please do not attempt to clean costumes that have become stained. Your efforts may result in the permanent damage of a costume, whereas we may be able to remove the stain resulting in a substantially lower fee.
Dry-Cleaning Fees:
We receive a discount on our dry-cleaning. We pass this discount on to you, so you will find that our fees are less than what you would pay.

Laundering Fees:

Damage/Loss Fees
In the unfortunate event that a costume is damaged while rented, it will be the responsibility of the renter, and/or the organization represented, to pay what would be required to return the costume to its original condition.
If a costume has been damaged to such an extent that repairing it is not possible or not cost-effective, then the renter, and/or the organization represented, will be responsible for paying for the replacement of the costume. The full value of the costume is assessed at the time of rental and will be noted on the contract with the inventory. The full value of a costume takes into account the materials needed and the labor involved in producing the costume or the cost to buy the item new, if applicable.
Late Return Fees
If the renter does not return rented costumes by the designated return date and has not made a good-faith effort to return them, then a late fee will be incurred.
For every week that the costumes are late, 20% of the rental fee will be charged.
