Our Story

30+ Years

Presto Drycleaners began its journey in 1992 as a small family-run business. Founded by Mr. and Mrs. Chan, Presto carries forward a proud Singaporean heritage in garment care, a legacy that dates back to the 1950s when Mr. Chan’s father operated a laundry service for sailors docking in Singapore.

From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: to provide professional care for garments requiring specialised treatment beyond ordinary washing. Dry cleaning is about more than just cleaning, it is about protecting and extending the life of delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, and cashmere. Over the years, our services have expanded to include laundry, alterations, curtain and carpet cleaning, while maintaining the same dedication to quality and attention to detail.

Our brand started because of a missing piece in our laundry routine. Presto is built on the sweat and passion of our entire team — from our retail staff to our dry cleaners and ironers. It is through your support, feedback, and belief that Presto has grown into what it is today. What we’ve learnt is that fashion always comes full circle — what was once worn can be preserved, cared for, and worn again tomorrow.

In 2017, the second generation stepped forward to carry this legacy into the future. Mr. Chan Weitian, a software engineer by training and entrepreneur at heart, joined the family business Today, Weitian and his wife manage all aspects of Presto, blending tradition with innovation.

From our humble beginnings in a Thomson shophouse, Presto has become one of Singapore’s most trusted names in garment care. And we are only here because of you. Join us on Instagram as we share what we do best and what we are building for the future.

Wearing garments 50 times instead of a few reduces carbon emissions by 400%. That’s why we focus on high quality care to help your clothes last longer. We use advanced cleaning and repair techniques so your garments stay wearable and look their best, for years to come.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, is next to timelessness.

“The counter staff is really friendly & helpful. Always taking the extra mile for customers. Appreciate all her kind gestures.”

Ms. Elaine Ng

“Been using Presto for more than 10 years now. I’m delighted with service by the home pick-up and delivery service, who patiently takes down my curtain & puts them up back. They do the same with my couch/arm chairs. Best is, they carry out their job cheerfully and keep things neat! For a bit of a clean freak, that’s huge for me!”

Ms. Lina

"The best dry cleaners in Singapore. Always do a good job and will let you know if there's a stain they can't get rid of!"

Ms. Kristina Blomstrand

"It was my first time sending items to a dry-cleaner and researched for a good month before I made my decision to patronise Presto at their outlet located in ION Orchard.

The staff that attended to me took my requests into consideration and listed each item in detail (type, colour, brand). I was able to collect my garments a day earlier than the given date and I was super pleased at the job that Presto has done! My slacks look even better than they did when I bought them, and all my buttons are well intact without a single loose thread. Thank you Presto! I know who I can count on whenever I need my clothing dry-cleaned/pressed! :)"
