Wells Dry Cleaners is a family run business first established back in 1969
Joe & Christina Borastero with their children - Lee, Edward & Elizabeth.
They have expanded and Sarah, Thomas, Meghan & Florence (Potentially budding drycleaner's) have joined the family business: They are what is referred to in the industry as a Mamma & Pappa Outfit.
Over the past 40 or more years Joe has learnt his trade. He started in the tailoring business, went over to the laundry side of the industry and then started to specialise in Dry Cleaning. He says he is still learning today!
Christina & Joe set up their first business called Edward E Lee (after their Children), in the Kings Road in Chelsea, from there moved to Wimbledon and planned to semi-retire to Somerset some 25 years ago - they say they are working harder now than ever before.
their wealth of experience and knowledge within the industry is second to none, Joe holds many skills that have long been forgotten, for example the cleaning and re-blocking of hats, cleaning of gloves and is highly experienced with the processing and restoration of Suede's and Leather's
Joe is Extremely well qualified and holds the prestigious Guild of Cleaners & Launderers Certificate in Advanced Drycleaning and is a recognised member of the TSA (Textile Services Association)
