Busy Bee Cleaners, your Eco Green Cleaning Center

Announces the opening of Kelowna's only Shirt Factory


Busy Bee Cleaners at Spall Plaza understands what customers are looking for in a dress shirt cleaning and pressing, and have purchased the latest state-of-art equipment. First the shirts are inspected for excessive stains including ground-in collar and cuffs, then washed in the latest front loading washing machines that can produce a high spin revolution giving the right moisture content so that they can now be pressed while wet, this process brightens fabrics that produces that crisp like new finish.

To achieve this finish on the shirts Busy Bee Cleaners has purchased the latest UNIPRESS shirt press costing just over $50,000. The machine applies a beautiful finish simultaneously to the body and sleeves of a shirt, the new cuff clamps further enhance the overall quality by helping to hold the shape of the cuffs. The one operator unit makes it easy to achieve both the highest quality finish and being able to produce a finished shirt every 55 seconds.
