Ocean Dyers & Cleaners

Our shop is at 45 Juhu Tara Road, right by the Marine area in Juhu. It’s a busy spot and the traffic outside is almost always loud. We’ve been doing cleaning and dyeing here for a good long while now. It’s not a fancy place with bright lights or anything like that. The floors are a bit worn down from people coming in and out all day with their bundles of clothes. In the back, we have the vats for dyeing. It stays pretty warm back there because of the water and the steam. Sometimes the colors get everywhere, on our aprons and even the walls. We don’t mind it much. My hands usually have some ink on them by the time I head home. We see all kinds of people, from neighbors living in the flats nearby to folks just passing through. Juhu is always moving, but we just stay here and keep the machines running. We spend a lot of time checking the fabrics to make sure the dye takes right. It’s tricky work sometimes, especially when the weather is humid from the beach nearby. The salt in the air makes everything feel a bit sticky. We don't have a big website or a team of people. It’s just us working through the piles of laundry and making sure things get done. We close up when the work is finished, usually late at night.
