Summary
Future proof your business endeavours with an eco friendly wet cleaning business. Without the harsh chemicals and nasty fumes of traditional dry cleaners, this new technology cleans in a safe way.
Location Details
25A Green Street
Located on busy street with thousands of cars passing daily. Free short term parking just steps from the front door. Neighbours include both businesses and residences.
Potential
This business will suit an owner operator who is passionate about seeing the business grow. While the business is still in its infancy, having overcome 2023 logistical challenges with storm damages mean it has yet to be open for the busy winter period. The current owners are selling due to a change in their family circumstances requiring full time care.
Existing commercial agreements create a solid base to be expanded upon through clever digital marketing strategies to maximise the local market. Adding alterations service would build profit.
Skills
The majority of the business is plug and play. Skills with ironing and attention to detail are needed to ensure the cleaning is done to a high standard. Whether it's an owner operator or staff doing the majority of the labour, it's a sustainable setup.
Customer service skills are needed as well as building relationships with repeat customers.
If no experience in the industry, training will be provided as part of the handover process.

Reason for Sale
We operate this business with just my husband and I. He primarily works from home/the business in another full time role. I have become pregnant with our second child and we simply cannot sustain this second business given the demands of childcare & pregnancy.
About the Business
Simlar to traditional dry cleaners, we clean & press suits, dressses, linens, school uniforms, ball gowns etc.
Additionally, we provide our service to several businesses on an ongoing basis including a costume hire business, chiropractor, ball gown and wedding dress consignment boutique and day care.
Our local clients get their regular dry cleaning done, as well as weekly linen service, wash dry fold, doona & curtain cleaning, and any other item requested that falls within what our equipment can handle.
Brand new European finishing equipment was installed to complement state of the art wet cleaning equipment. All of this is still under warranty and holds the value the business is listed for sale.
The buyer will receive a fantastic deal, with the start-up phase complete, machines still under warranty, and the set-up costs and time completely wrapped up in the sale price. While we are selling at a loss given our initial investment, we are fully confident the business will grow exponentially with the next owner.
Additionally, given the environmental damage that traditional dry cleaning does, we are confident that pending changes to the industry mean that the eco-friendly detergents used will be future proofed from any and all future legislation.
History
The inception for this business came from a passion for presenting clothes in a pristine manner.
The business started trading in March 2023, was closed from June-August 2023 due to storm damage to the building, and has been steadily growing since its reopening in September. While the closure was a massive hit to both momentum and the bottom line, this is the ideal time to buy with the lead up to winter.
