About us
Our history
Our story began on April 6, 1992, with the opening of our first dry cleaner's in the Manor Center in Chavannes de Bogis. We're proud to have been resident there since its construction, and to be celebrating our 30th anniversary with them in 2022.
We then opened a second dry cleaner in December 1993 in the COOP center in Blandonnet.
Finally, in 2009, we opened our "last one" at MParc - La Praille in Carouge.
All in all, we have over 70 years' experience in our three dry cleaners.
Challenges in 2022
Today, our company faces several challenges:
- The declining quality of textiles and "fast fashion" means we have to be very careful before treating your items.
- Trendy finishes such as sequins, bangs, lace, etc. also require special care.
A PCE- and HCS-free solvent
More laundry, fewer products
Since 2016, we've been equipped with iLSA machines using a "new" dry-cleaning solvent called SENSENE.
We even had to take the necessary administrative steps with the Swiss Confederation to obtain the necessary authorizations to use this new product.
Dirt removal, "greying" and colorfastness tests were carried out in comparison with cleaning with Perchlorethylene (PCE) and Hydrocarbons (HCS).
Soil removal tests on wool, cotton and polyester, using greasy and pigmented soils, were conclusive.
The cleaning process, using SENSENSE solvent, demonstrated high cleaning power, superior to that of the perchlorethylene and hydrocarbon cleaning processes used in the study.
As for the "greying" effect, which can appear particularly on white fabrics after several washes, the results obtained were close to those obtained with perchlorethylene and better than with hydrocarbon cleaning.
Color fastness was very good on all colors.
Thanks to this new solvent, we can clean more laundry with less product.
