Our Story
Based in the heart of Pukekohe for over 60 years, Findlay's has been the trusted name in dry cleaning for Franklin, Papakura, and the wider Auckland region.
What started as a small dry cleaning shop has grown into a trusted name serving families and businesses across Auckland. Today, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology and a commitment to sustainability.

Meet Shane McLennan
Shane took over Findlay's in late 2016, bringing with him years of experience as General Manager and Head Dry Cleaner at Regal Drycleaners in Newmarket, where he specialised in cleaning high-end fashion garments from New Zealand's top designers.
Under Shane's leadership, Findlay's has maintained its tradition of quality while expanding its capabilities. From the most delicate wedding dresses to heavy industrial overalls, the team handles it all with expertise.
“We pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our customers,” says Shane. “Whether it's mould removal from curtains, specialist leather cleaning, or a same-day turnaround for an urgent request - we find a way to help.”
