LEAD TIMES:

Chemicals and accessories

Orders for chemicals and accessories received before 1.30pm on working days (Mon-Fri, excluding public holidays) are normally processed same day and shipped by next working day courier. According to our courier service, around 98% of deliveries arrive next day. However, we can never guarantee next day delivery as we are always in the hands of the courier.

Airflex machine orders

Airflex machines are built-to-order with a normal lead time of around 7-14 working days. However, on occasion this lead time may be longer if we are particularly busy. If you require despatch more quickly, please contact our office before placing your order and we will see if it is possible to supply a machine within your required time frame.

Cleansmart will make reasonable endeavours to meet any delivery estimates but cannot accept any liability whatsoever for failure to do so.

WARRANTY INFO

Airflex Machines

All Airflex machines are covered by 1 year manufacturer’s warranty which includes parts and labour. Machines can either be serviced or repaired at Cleansmart, or by a Cleansmart-approved third party repair company if more convenient. You must contact Cleansmart or the distributor you purchased the machine from in the first instance if an in-warranty repair is needed.

Airflex extractors are also supplied with a 5 year “machine housing warranty”, which covers the main waste tank, clean tank and motor housing plastic mouldings of the machine. If the defect occurs within 1 year of purchasing the machine, the “machine housing warranty” includes both parts and labour. If the defect occurs after 1 year of the machine purchase, the “machine housing warranty” covers the cost of the replacement part only and does not include shipping and labour. 5 year “machine housing warranty” is to the original purchaser of the machine and is not transferable.

The machine warranty covers all manufacturing defects, but does not cover issues caused by failure to follow the information in the user guide supplied with the machine. Please ensure you read, fully understand and follow the information in the user guide before using the machine.

Non Airflex machines

We provide a back-to-base warranty on all non-Airflex extractors, with parts and labour supplied free of charge for all approved warranty claims. 

Spare parts

Spare parts purchased are supplied with a 90 day warranty which covers all manufacturing defects.

RETURNS:

You must email us or fill in our website contact form to request a Return Number before returning any item. We cannot accept returned goods without a Return Number first being issued to you. You must then return the goods to us within 7 days of the Return Number being issued. When approved, refunds are issued minus any shipping costs we have incurred except in the case of the items that are received damaged or faulty. 

Non machine orders

We will accept the return of goods that are no longer required within 14 days of the date of delivery or collection of the goods, excluding cleaning chemicals (we cannot accept cleaning chemical returns), and Special Order items (items we have ordered from another supplier on your behalf), which may not be cancelled or returned for credit. Items must be returned to us unused, in the original packaging and in re-saleable condition.

The machine must be returned to us in good condition, clean and undamaged. Any shipping costs we have incurred in processing your order, repair costs, or workshop time needed to clean the machine will be deducted from the refund total.

Orders may be cancelled prior to despatch without penalty apart from 1. Airflex machines, which are custom built to order, may not be cancelled once the machine has gone into production. 2. Special orders, where we have ordered an item from a supplier on your behalf, may not be cancelled.
