Winter’s Here
I popped in to catch up with Tasos, Christos and Andreas at Melissis Dry Cleaners in Paralimni because it’s that time of the year when the quilts and blankets come out of storage to go onto the bed, and the quilt cover takes on its manufactured use. Let’s not forget the heavy curtains to help keep out the cold and the warmth in …
Time to Change
And of course, the summer wardrobe is replaced with those winter woollies as the winter wardrobe switches places with the summer one, and it’s time to look good and enjoy our short mild winters … or if you’re reading this during our long summer, vice versa!
Feather & Down Quilts
When I gave Tasos my feather and down quilt, as I always do at this time of the year, because feathers and down really need speciality treatment, I realised I’ve been using them for over 30 years. Probably because I know they take that extra little time to make sure everything is cleaned perfectly and just as importantly, aired properly.
Professional
When they were only 20 metres from the What’s On offices, Tasos told me, “It’s always a busy season”. At that moment, a client brought in a set of sofa and chair covers for the garden furniture, and I thought ‘that’s a good idea’! … it’s no wonder they had to move to bigger premises 5 years ago. I had to laugh when Christos said, “We also had to let go of some larger corporate companies so we can offer our personal clients a quicker, more professional service”
Know How!
Tasos and Christos now have over 40 years experience, and with new, modern dry cleaning machines, they can clean almost every item of clothing from pure cotton to silk dresses, dress suits, leather and suede, velvet, fur and even feathers, and they’ll clean your blingy, sequin cocktail dress and even your beautiful wedding dress.
Top to Bottom
Tasos said, “These days they have regular households, especially rental villas, that bring all their bedding and towels to be washed perfectly and steam pressed to perfection” … I have to say ‘there’s nothing quite like getting into nice, crisp, clean sheets’
Weddings
Their reputation has surpassed them, with new machines installed to get that unique wedding dress and expensive tailored suits cleaned and covered, maybe to be stored away to pass to your children one day … So if you want to check if it’s safe to clean that special or even antique item, all you have to do is ask them! … Check out our recent Live Video
Value for Money
They can often provide a same-day service, and I’ve always found their prices very reasonable, crazily cheaper than the UK and most countries in Europe. Oh, look out for special seasonal offers, and you’ll find regular-client appreciation, naturally, with traditional Cypriot hospitality!
