The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted Diane’s Dry Cleaning Boutique, but as restrictions begin to ease there is hope that things will get better.
Owner Lance said the virus had “crucified” his business as customers take to working from home and, with no social events on, staying in.
“We’re down to practically nothing,” he said.
But he said is holding out hope that things will improve as kids go back to school and families are allowed out to see each other again.
Diane’s Dry Cleaning is a familiar shopfront on Gloucester Avenue in Berwick and has been owned by Lance and his wife Diane – after whom the shop is named – for 22 years.
The cleaner caters for any job: “normal clothes, good clothes, wedding dresses, doonas and drapes”, Lance said.
Now is the perfect time to get school uniforms fixed up as kids head back to the classroom.
As families get stuck into spring cleaning – and with a renewed focus on hygiene in the wake of the pandemic – Diane’s Dry Cleaning Boutique is the perfect place to take those larger, heavier items that need a proper clean.
Doonas, blankets and drapes will come back spotless and fresh for the new season.
Shirts can be laundered and pressed for as little as $3.90, and make sure you ask about their three-garment special.
All sorts of alterations are also catered for, Lance said, from new zippers in pants to fixing tears and rips.
In good news for customers, Diane’s Dry Cleaning Boutique has extended its hours and is now open 8am – 4pm Monday to Friday and Saturdays 8.30am – 12pm, making it even easier to get the dry cleaning done in time for back to school, those all-important Zoom meetings and for when guests return to homes.
Find Diane’s Dry Cleaning Boutique at 20 Gloucester Avenue Berwick or call 9707 0431.
