Workshop Gear Gets Filthy. Washing It Shouldn't Be Your Problem.

Every day in the workshop, your team's uniforms take a beating. Engine oil. Brake fluid. Grease. Transmission fluid. Tyre residue. By the end of a shift, that gear isn't just dirty — it's carrying chemicals that home washing machines aren't built to handle. If you've ever tried to remove engine grease from a uniform at home, you already know it doesn't come out properly.

Most workshops leave laundry to their staff — which means stained overalls, inconsistent presentation, and a team that doesn't always look the part when a customer rolls in. For auto shop uniform laundry to actually work, you need a commercial laundry service that understands what trade workwear goes through.

There's a better way.

🧪  Industrial-grade cleaning

Our commercial machines and processes are built for heavy-duty stain removal from trade workwear — not household use. Grease stain removal that home machines leave behind is our everyday standard.

📦  Bulk workshop account convenience

Set up a business account and manage your whole team's bulk workwear washing in one scheduled collection. Ideal for workshops with 2–20+ staff.

🚐  Pickup & delivery to your workshop door

We offer workshop uniform cleaning pickup across Canberra — Fyshwick, Phillip, Braddon, Belconnen, Woden, Hawker, Tuggeranong and more. No trips, no wasted time.

🌿  Eco-safe wash process

We use environmentally responsible detergents that are tough on oil stains but compliant with ACT eco standards — better for the environment and your team's skin.

📍  Two Canberra drop-off locations

Drop off at our Braddon store on Mort St or our Hawker location — or book our laundry pickup for tradespeople in Canberra and skip the drop-off entirely.

⭐  Named Canberra's Best 2026

Recognised in Region Canberra's Best Dry Cleaners 2026. Trusted by ACT auto industry businesses, local tradespeople, and Canberra residents.

Keywords

Q: Can you actually get engine oil out of overalls?

A: Yes — and it's our speciality. Our commercial washing process uses industrial-grade detergents and temperature controls specifically effective against petroleum-based stains, grease, brake fluid, and chemical compounds. Standard home washing leaves residue in fibres. Our heavy-duty stain removal process doesn't. It's the difference between a laundry service and an industrial uniform laundry service — which is exactly what Canberra auto workshops need.

Q: Do you service workshops in Fyshwick?

A: Absolutely. Fyshwick is one of our primary pickup zones — it's Canberra's main auto industry hub and we have multiple workshop accounts there already. We also cover Phillip, Braddon, Belconnen, Woden, Hawker, Tuggeranong, and all surrounding Canberra suburbs.

Q: What's included in a workshop account?

A: Workshop accounts include scheduled weekly or fortnightly pickup from your garage, bulk workwear washing at discounted rates, return delivery, and monthly invoicing. You can add or remove staff uniforms any time. There's no lock-in contract and no setup fee.

Q: Do you handle hi-vis workwear and shop rags?

A: Yes. We clean hi-vis vests and jackets, shop rags and cloths in bulk, workshop aprons, and all trade uniform items. For chemical-resistant uniform care and heavily soiled workwear, we assess each load and treat accordingly.

Q: How does fleet mechanic uniform laundry work for larger teams?

A: For dealerships, service centres, or large workshops with 10+ staff, we set up a custom fleet account with volume pricing, a dedicated pickup schedule, and a monthly itemised invoice. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Q: What if I'm a sole-operator tyre fitter or detailer?

A: Plenty of our customers are single-person operations. Tyre fitter uniform cleaning and detailer workwear cleaning is available on a pay-as-you-go basis — drop off at Braddon or Hawker, or book a one-off pickup.

Q: I've tried dry cleaners before and they couldn't handle the grease — what's different?

A: Standard dry cleaners use processes designed for suits and delicate fabrics — not trade workwear. We're Canberra's specialist in oil stain dry cleaning and grease stain removal for industrial garments. Different chemistry, different equipment, different result.
