About Us - Tip Top

Tip Top Dry Cleaners was first opened in 1953 in Gray Street, Adelaide by Antone Nemer. Antone Nemer pioneered same day service when most other dry cleaners had a 7 day turnaround.

Independent market research is regularly conducted for Tip Top Dry Cleaning and customer feedback is especially welcomed. This valuable information has resulted in improvements in the way we operate our dry cleaning business. For instance, our busy customers required conveniently located stores that offered a genuine 90 minute service and a place where any repairs or alterations can be made.

Constant training has improved the skills of our personnel to a level above that offered by our competitors. Our experience is that well skilled staff working in safe, pleasant surroundings that enjoy good two way communications with management are more likely to go that extra mile for the benefit of all.

The museum is the result of a small collection of laundry items that the Tip Top Dry Cleaners' company has brought together. It is in effect a history of the laundry industry which begins with a washing machine know as "Black Rose" which was first built late in the 19th century.

There's also a large collection of irons beginning with those that were used in the 1700's by heating them in the fire - through to coal, gas and steam powered models. There are also trouser presses, washing boards, hat blocks and paraphernalia of the dry cleaning industry at 195 Richmond Road at Richmond."

The museum is open office hours and entry is free. For more information contact our friendly staff at the Richmond Road store on 8351 7900.
