Our story

Before opening Royal Clean, Engineer Mario and Lisbeth Malinis studied at the International Fabricare Institute (IFI) in the United States, one of the world’s foremost training institutions for garment care professionals. They became the first Filipinos to complete the IFI’s advanced dry cleaning curriculum, covering fabric science, solvent chemistry, stain removal, commercial equipment and business management.

They brought that training home and opened Royal Clean in Cavite in 1987, with a simple mission: world-class garment care for Filipino families at an accessible price. Every garment is assessed, pre-treated where needed, cleaned with the right method, finished by hand and inspected before it goes back to its owner.

Recognition

On October 30, 1998, the Manila Bulletin published a feature on Royal Clean and its founders (Volume 310, Issue 30), recognising them as pioneers who brought international-standard dry cleaning to the Philippines. By then Royal Clean had grown from a single shop in Cavite into a recognised name in Metro Manila.
