Dry cleaning & laundry · Singapore
Everyday garments, done properly
The same care that goes into a gown goes into a work shirt — cleaned at our own facility, hand-pressed, and returned ready to wear.
One standard for everything
Whether it's five office shirts or one silk dress, the process is the same: assessed on receipt, cleaned by the appropriate method, and finished by hand. Nothing is routed through third-party plants — what you drop off is handled by our own trained team from start to finish.
Dry cleaning and wet laundering aren't interchangeable; some fabrics need one, some the other, and some survive both but age better with the right choice. Part of what you're paying for is that judgment.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What's the difference between dry cleaning and laundry?
Dry cleaning uses solvent instead of water — better for structured or delicate garments. Laundering suits cottons and everyday wear. We recommend the right method per garment.
How long does dry cleaning take?
About 5 working days as standard. Express is available for a premium, including same working-day options at Orchard.
Do you offer pressing only?
Yes — shirts and blouses can be hand-pressed without cleaning for $7.
Why is dry cleaning so expensive?
Because it's 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 →
What is wet cleaning, and how is it different from dry cleaning?
Wet cleaning is a professional water-based process using controlled temperature, gentle agitation, and specialised detergents — it's not the same as home washing. Dry cleaning uses 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.
How often should a suit be dry cleaned?
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.
Should clothes be cleaned before long-term storage?
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.
Do prices change for delicate fabrics?
Silk, linen, and embellished materials may carry additional charges, always confirmed before cleaning.
