Your wardrobe travels. You don't have to.

Twice a week, our valet routes run through the neighbourhood. Three steps, and clean clothes find their own way home.

  1. Fill your bag

    Your personalized Glenforest garment bag lives with you. Load it up and hang it out on your route morning.

  2. We collect

    Our valet runs Tuesday and Friday routes. Yours is one of the two, the same day every week.

  3. Back, pressed

    Everything returns on your next route day: cleaned, finished, pressed, and ready to wear.

New to the route? Call 416 488-6717 and we will set up your personalized garment bag this week.

Water is the gentler expert.

Conventional dry cleaning leans on PERC, a harsh solvent your skin can smell the moment you unzip the bag. Decades ago, the Zachos family chose a different path and became Toronto's first wet cleaning specialist.

Wet cleaning uses pure water, biodegradable detergents, and computer controlled Miele machines that treat each fabric on its own terms. It reaches deeper than solvent ever could, then lets go completely: no residue, no odour, no compromise.

The Miele cycle sets water temperature, drum motion, and drying moisture for each fabric, which is how wool, silk, and beaded pieces most cleaners refuse come through safely. Everything is back on your next route day.

"May your worst problem be a stain on your clothes."

Six decades of second opinions.

“They have looked after our family's clothes for two decades. Everything comes back perfectly pressed, and the valet picks it up from our porch every Tuesday.”
Margaret Lawrence Park
“A red wine stain on a wool blazer, gone. No chemical smell afterwards, just clean. I would not take a good suit anywhere else.”
Daniel Bedford Park
“I switched for the toxic free cleaning and stayed for the people. My blouses have honestly never felt softer.”
