NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

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 />
