The work
Drag to see the difference
Real pairs, photographed before and after. Pull the handle across to compare.
[PAIR 1: material, age, service used] [PAIR 2: material, age, service used] [PAIR 3: material, age, service used]
Some things do not come out. Deep creasing, torn fabric and worn-through soles are wear, not dirt, and we will tell you before we start rather than after. What we can and cannot fix
How it works
Four steps, no shop visit
You bag them and drop them off. We do the rest and tell you when they are back.
- 01
Book and pay
Book online in a few minutes. No account needed.
- 02
Drop them off
Get a 6-digit PIN, bag your shoes and drop them in the locker you chose.
- 03
We clean them
We collect, clean and quality-check them. Every step is tracked.
- 04
Collect them
We return them to a locker and send a pickup PIN. Collect when it suits you.
First time using a locker?
It takes about thirty seconds.
A Bob Box is a wall of lockable compartments, the same kind couriers use. You get a 6-digit PIN, tap it in on the screen, and a door pops open. Put the bag in, shut the door, walk away. There is nobody to hand anything to.
Why a locker
The other options are worse
A Bob Box sits where you already go. Drop your shoes when you are passing and collect them the same way.
Scrubbing them yourself
An hour at the sink, or a spin in the machine that softens the glue and flattens the foam.
Driving to a shop
Twice. In trading hours. Parking both times, and a queue when you get there.
- No queue
Using a locker
One you already walk past. Drop off on your route, collect on your schedule, and hand nothing to anyone.
Find a locker
Pick the one you already walk past
Choose any locker for drop-off and any locker for collection. They do not have to be the same one.
0 lockers
Nothing matches that. Try the suburb on its own, or clear the search to see every locker.

Checked in on arrival
Every pair is photographed and logged when it reaches us, so its condition is on record before we start.
Bagged and kept together
Pairs stay bagged and labelled with your order number from the locker to the bench and back again.
Inspected before it goes back
Nothing goes into a return locker until it has been checked a second time.

Questions
The things people ask first
Still unsure? WhatsApp us or email. A real person answers.
How long does it take?
Cleans are usually back in your return locker [TURNAROUND] after we collect them. Your order page shows where your shoes are at every step.
How do the lockers work?
We use Bob Box smart lockers instead of a shopfront. After you pay, you get a PIN that opens a compartment at your drop-off locker. When your shoes are ready, we put them in your return locker and send you a collection PIN. You can drop off and collect during the locker's trading hours.
What happens if I miss collection?
Collect within the collection window; we'll remind you before it closes. After that, our driver brings your shoes back to our facility, and re-delivery costs extra. Once it's paid, we book a fresh locker and send your new PIN.
Which shoes do you accept?
Most sneakers and everyday shoes: leather, canvas, mesh, knit, suede and nubuck. We don't accept shoes that are wet or mouldy, or delicate items like satin heels and formal shoes with special finishes. If you're not sure, contact us before booking.
How do I pay?
You pay online when you book, by card, instant EFT and other methods through our payment provider. Your order is confirmed, and your drop-off PIN sent, once payment goes through.
What if something gets damaged?
We check every pair before we start. If we think a pair could be damaged by cleaning, for example very old glue or fragile materials, we contact you before going ahead. Existing wear and manufacturing faults can still react unpredictably; our terms explain what we cover.
Do I need an account?
No. You can book as a guest and follow your order through a private link. If you later create an account with the same email, your orders are added to it.
Ready when you are
Your shoes are not going to clean themselves.
Book in a few minutes, drop them off when you are passing, and get on with your day.
