Founded in 1973, Morikuri (operated by Morimoto Cleaning, located in Settsu City, Osaka, Representative: Takeshi Morimoto), a company committed to skilled artisans' hand-finishing, has introduced the latest PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)-free water repellent processing, which is globally regulated as a harmful substance, and a specialized supplement detergent that nourishes down feathers.
This service, targeting luxury brand down jackets and ski/snowboard wear, is available nationwide in Japan through its dedicated delivery website (https://morikuri.jp/).
[Key Points of the Release]
1. The 'Ichichaku Nyukon' (Soul in Every Garment) Technique Preserved by an 84-Year-Old Active Artisan
For over 50 years since its founding, a team of skilled artisans, led by an 84-year-old active cleaning master with national qualifications, meticulously inspects each garment and performs 'hand-finishing.' Unlike machine washing, which prioritizes efficiency, 'individual washing in dedicated sinks' tailored to the material protects the delicate fabrics and structures of high-end down brands like Moncler and Canada Goose.
2. From 'Washing' to 'Reviving': Introduction of Down-Specific Supplement Detergent
Down that has lost its volume due to years of wear is revived through a unique 'nutrient-replenishing cleaning' method. By supplementing the oil content of the feathers and maximizing fill power (the ability to fluff up), the down regains its warmth and lightness, just like new.
3. Also Compatible with Ski and Snowboard Wear: Next-Generation 'PFAS-Free Water Repellent Processing'
PFAS are currently subject to increasing global regulations due to their environmental and health impacts. Morikuri has promptly adopted the latest environmentally friendly water repellent technology that is completely PFAS-free. This professional technique restores the water repellency of ski and snowboard wear, used in harsh snowy mountain conditions, while minimizing environmental impact.
4. The Solution of 'Delivery Cleaning' that Eliminates Distance
Responding to the voices of high-end brand and sportswear enthusiasts nationwide who say, 'There's no trustworthy store nearby,' Morikuri has built a smartphone-based delivery system. This eliminates the hassle of bringing heavy down jackets or bulky wear to a store, allowing customers nationwide to receive top-tier maintenance while consulting directly with artisans via LINE.
