Local Business - Quality Kwilk Dry Cleaners
Quality Kwilk Dry Cleaners in Durrington Celebrate 22 Years of Spotless Service.
In 1989 Gloria Cannon took over a dry cleaning establishment in Half Moon Lane, Worthing and Quality Kwilk was born. She was joined by husband Jeff in 1996 who opened the Tesco unit in Durrington. Both shops operated until 2003 when Gloria semi retired. When Tesco opened a new superstore in 2010, Quality Kwilk relocated and reopened there this February. The new location has given the business an opportunity to invest in state of the art dry cleaning machinery which is more efficient and more environmentally friendly plus a garment conveyor system.
Dry cleaning and in particular the care of designer clothing and wedding dresses, is still the main concern, but Quality Kwik also offers a range of other services to customers. These include, repairs and alterations, laundry (including duvets), hire of carpet cleaning equipment and mattress cleaning at home. There is also a curtain cleaning service which includes taking down and re‑hanging with free collection and delivery included. A shoe repair service is to be added in April to complement the existing sale of polishes and laces and in response to demand a full range of Dylon dyes will also be stocked from April. A wide variety of handbags, purses and gentlemen’s belts is already available.
A loyalty card has been introduced and for a small annual fee, “Privilege” will give 10% off all cleaning and repairs and £1 off duvet cleaning. This is proving to be of great benefit to regular customers who can also take advantage of “three for two” “five for £20” and other deals on offer throughout the year. When cleaning a wedding dress recently, Jeff realised that they had been dry cleaning this family’s clothes for some sixteen years and that he had actually cleaned an anorak for the bride when she was just six years old! This is the sort of service that is of prime importance to Quality Kwik and the reason behind their motto; Be smart and visit us. Visit us and be smart.
What You Didn’t Want to Know About Your Duvet!!
A large percentage of house dust is made up of dead skin - and it’s the dead skin, house dust mites live off. As the average human sheds about 600,000 particles of skin every hour, equating to one and a half pounds (690 grammes) every year - we are constantly providing them with a hearty feast. Within one gramme of house dust you are likely to find approximately 5,000 house mites.
They thrive in dark, moist, warm environments making your bed, duvet and pillows a perfect dwelling place for these little pests, They also like curtains, rugs, carpets and soft toys - however clean your home is, you’ll always have house dust mites.
At QUALITY KWIK duvets will be individually laundered in a large commercial washing machine which gives your duvet plenty of room to open up and get thoroughly cleaned. They are then dried in large tumble dryers giving ample space for your duvet to circulate properly, allowing it to dry evenly.
Your Duvet will be returned to you, compactly packed, in a re-usable, breathable, storage bag. This will keep your duvet clean and fresh until you’re ready to use it.
