Moroccan-Based “Cleanzy” Dry Cleaners Aiming for 100 Outlets by 2030: Plans Global Expansion
Morocco, known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant marketplace, is witnessing a transformative shift in the dry cleaning industry. Cleanzy, a pioneering franchise of high-quality ecological dry cleaners, is spearheading this change with its commitment to health, the environment, and superior service. With plans to expand to 100 outlets by 2030 and venture into Arab and Asian markets, Cleanzy is redefining the dry cleaning experience in Morocco and beyond.
The dry cleaning market in Morocco has long been anchored in citizens’ consumption habits, but it has also been marred by the use of harmful solvents, particularly perchloroethylene, which is classified as carcinogenic by global health authorities.

Recognizing the urgent need for change, Cleanzy advocates for ecological dry cleaning solutions and calls for regulatory measures to promote eco-responsible practices in the industry.
Cleanzy distinguishes itself through its innovative approach to dry cleaning, combining expertise in textile processing, technological innovation, and sustainable development. Utilizing eco-efficient technology and biodegradable products, Cleanzy ensures a premium.
