Dry Cleaning & Laundry in Singapore

Dry cleaning uses solvent instead of water — better for structured, delicate, or dye-sensitive garments. Laundering uses water and suits cottons and everyday wear. We recommend the right method per garment.

About 5 working days as standard. Express turnaround is available for a premium, including same working-day options at our Orchard outlet.

Yes — shirts and blouses can be professionally hand-pressed without cleaning for $7.

Dry cleaning costs more because it is a different job, not a bigger washing machine. Solvent-based cleaning, garment-by-garment assessment, stain treatment, and hand-pressing all take trained labour and time; a shirt passes through several skilled hands before it's returned. Two cleaners can quote very different prices because the work behind the price often isn't the same. More on how we work

Wet cleaning is a professional water-based process using controlled temperature, gentle agitation, and specialised detergents, and it's not the same as home washing. Dry cleaning uses a liquid solvent instead of water. Some garments are safer in solvent, some respond better to professional wet cleaning; part of our job is choosing correctly for each piece rather than defaulting to one method.

Less often than most people think: every 3 to 6 wears for regular rotation, or promptly after visible soiling, spills, or heavy perspiration. Over-cleaning wears wool out; under-cleaning lets body oils and odours set. Between cleans, brushing and proper hanging do most of the maintenance work, and pressing-only ($7 for shirts) is a good option when a garment is clean but creased. One exception matters: if a suit won't be worn again for some time, clean it before storing even if it looks spotless. Perspiration and stains that aren't visible to the eye feed mould and oxidise into yellowing while a garment sits.

Yes, and not just suits; this applies to every type of garment. Perspiration, skin oils, and food traces are often invisible when fresh, but in storage they quietly feed mould and oxidise into yellow stains. Cleaning before storage is the single most effective way to reduce both risks. Already stored and yellowed? Bring it in. We can't guarantee it'll look like new again, but meaningful improvement is usually possible, and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable after assessment.

Silk, linen, embellished, and other delicate materials may carry additional charges, always confirmed with you before cleaning.

Yes. We use environmentally friendly cleaning methods built on an organic solvent, recovered, purified and reused in a closed loop rather than released. It is gentle on the garment as well: solvent lifts oil and grease without swelling fibres, so there is less unnecessary wear, and pieces come back looking, feeling and smelling fresh and clean. The larger factor is still that a garment cleaned properly lasts longer, since restoring a piece rather than replacing it saves more than the difference between any two cleaning methods.

It depends entirely on the machine and how it's run. Old dry cleaning equipment released chemicals to the environment; modern systems use closed-loop machines recover, purify and reuse it. A well-maintained closed-loop machine, a water-based wet-cleaning system, and a garment that remains is more environmentally friendly than a stained garment which ends up in the landfill because it cannot be cleaned properly.
