[b][/b] oniwo: I have a dry cleaning centre here in Asaba. The profit is still there unlike when there is stable light. For example for 25 shirts & 25 trousers. Cost of services.thats not true and thats not ur real profit. Have u factored in the workers salaries, the house rents, the nepa bills, your transport and other overheads? Have u. Factored in the taxes and levies and local govt contributions? What of ur own salaries and depreciatin on fixed assets?, factor all these in then count your real profit. It sounds cools but how often do u get 25 clothes in a week? Im not being pessimistic but lets stare at reality straight in the face 2 Likes |

Nigerians should try to do without PHCN. Solar energy panel can do great services in a country like ours. The government are not honest enough with the power system, and for your business to succeed, you should look for other alternative, preferably Solar system due to avaliability of enough sunlight in our country. I reside in italy, and some italians used this solar panel to curtail bills. It works perfectly. |

The best way to wash is use both hand wash and machine wash. When u first used hand wash, u can easily wash all the stains and after that allow the machine to wash and spine the clothes. Put the clothes in the hangers. For best quality service not all clothes use spray in the sun some will be sprayed with hangers inside the shop and with help of industrial fan 30 minutes the clothes are ready for ironing. That is all |

oduamine: @oniwo thanks for responding to my questions.Please where can i buy packaging nylons,hangers. You can get packaging nylons @ market where nylons are been sold in bulk. Just tell them that you need laudry nylons. Concerning hangers buy iron hangers that was coated with rubber and buy few plastic hangers for suits and heavy fabrics. Iron coated with rubber is very cheap. |
