Many people experience distress when precious Hanbok worn for special occasions like weddings is damaged or discolored by laundry services.
📌 Key Points
If a cleaner is responsible for damage, you can claim the 'residual value'—the original price minus depreciation. The Korea Consumer Agency provides assistance if the cleaner refuses responsibility.

When dropping off expensive Hanbok, inspect it with the owner, keep original receipts or price tags, and always retain the laundry service slip for protection.
