Portughes Dry Cleaning, established in 1915 by John Attard Portughes, has a storied history as Malta's premier dry cleaner. Initially serving both the general public and then significantly expanding to cater to the British Forces for decades, the company evolved to meet the island's diverse garment care needs. Today, Portughes continues its legacy of excellence, offering a comprehensive range of professional dry cleaning services backed by modern machinery and UK-certified staff.

Recognizing a significant shift in customer demand for immediate and flexible laundry solutions, Portughes strategically expanded its offerings by launching its first self-service launderettes in 2015. This move was a direct response to the need for a modern, convenient way for individuals to manage larger or more frequent laundry loads. These state-of-the-art facilities are fully air-conditioned, equipped with high-capacity industrial-grade machines, and feature automatic detergent dispensing, along with amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi. By integrating these self-service options, Portughes extended its century-long commitment to quality, efficiency, and customer convenience into a new, accessible domain across Malta.
