Nettoyeur Ecologique Royal

Going from the shipping industry to the wet cleaning world, Michael Kutchuk went from water to water. He is the proud and passionate owner of Nettoyeur Écologique Royal which uses a state-of-the-art, exceptionally green, solvent-free, professional wet cleaning and repair technology, instead of traditional dry cleaning.
“It’s like the tropics in here,” Michael is happy to say. Part of a collection of books on nautical lore and photographs of spraying and crashing seas hang on the walls of this cleaning enterprise. One photo depicts the port of La Habana, Cuba which Michael visited on a business trip when he was still in the shipping industry.

Michael had been a client of the dry cleaner’s that had been at his location for 15 years when he bought it in 2005. “The owner had been bugging me, ‘you want to buy a business, you want to buy a business?’ And then when the shipping company I was working for went bankrupt five days before Christmas I said ‘why not?’ and I left a 20-year career in shipping.”
