Merivale.<br />
So much Moore than<br />
just a drycleaners<br />
Moores Drycleaners on Papanui Road<br />
is so much more than just a drycleaning<br />
business - it is part of the fabric of Merivale<br />
itself. Their terrific customer service,<br />
expertise and highly-professional standards<br />
have seen them succeed on the same spot<br />
for over half a century. In fact, it is the<br />
oldest business still operating in the same<br />
location in Merivale, and also is the oldest<br />
family-owned and operated drycleaners<br />
in the whole of<br />
Canterbury.<br />
What makes it<br />
such a local success?<br />
Owner Greg Moore’s<br />
father began Moores<br />
Drycleaning back in<br />
1961 and Greg joined<br />
him straight out of<br />
school. Having been<br />
there ever since, his<br />
own knowledge is<br />
unparalleled, and it is<br />
the focus on meeting<br />
the needs of customers<br />
that makes them stand<br />
out. These days, his daughter has joined the<br />
team, making her the third generation to work<br />
in the business.<br />
Their focus is on providing a terrific<br />
service to local clients and meeting all their<br />
drycleaning needs. Whether you are spring<br />
cleaning and want to freshen up all your<br />
drapes, duvets and bedding, or have toughto-remove<br />
spots, they are on hand to help.<br />
They will make sure that garments such as<br />
suits and dresses look as good as new when<br />
they return them to you, and they are experts<br />
at working with delicate fabrics in evening<br />
gowns and cocktail dresses. They are also<br />
the go-to drycleaners for wedding dresses,<br />
recommended by many of the region’s bridal<br />
salons to their new brides. In fact, they are<br />
just about the largest drycleaners for wedding<br />
dresses in the south island.<br />
In spite of their long tradition in this<br />
industry, Moores Drycleaning have moved<br />
with the times. They now have an ecocleaning<br />
machine which uses a solution of<br />
plant extracts as its cleaning agent which is<br />
far friendlier to the environment. In fact,<br />
they have been leading greener approaches<br />
to drycleaning as they have been recycling<br />
for over 40 years, their plastic bags are<br />
biodegradable and their coat-hangers are<br />
manufactured from recycled plastic which<br />
they encourage their customers to recycle and<br />
return.<br />
You can find them at 178 Papanui Road,<br />
where they are open six days a week (closed<br />
Sundays) or give them a call at 03 355 5942.<br />
They will be happy to help.<br />
