Dry Cleaning Vending Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

VClean Life is Making Dry Cleaning Easier with Automated Machines

— October 8, 2018 — Tech
In an effort to reimagine dry cleaning stores, UK-based brand VClean Life is offering a range of vending machines for Londoners to drop off dirty clothes and pick them up in just 24 hours. Introduced as an eco-friendly and convenient alternative to traditional dry cleaners, these new vending machines come equipped with a tracking system so users can keep an eye on their garments at all times.

In addition to the convenience of using vending machines, VClean Life also utilizes its network to allow customers to drop off clothes at one location and pick them up at another. The fast service is also incredibly cost-effective as each item, no matter the fabric, is priced at just three British pounds.
