Minsk's New Automated Dry Cleaning Kiosks: A Convenient, Yet Imperfect Solution

Minsk Welcomes 'Cleanomats': Automated Dry Cleaning Kiosks Arrive. Minsk residents now have access to a new way to clean their clothes, thanks to the recent introduction of "Cleanomats." These automated dry-cleaning kiosks, similar to postamat parcel machines, offer a convenient alternative to traditional dry cleaners. A local journalist tested the service, dropping off a shirt with significant stains. "The whole process was straightforward," the journalist reported. The cleaning cost 62 rubles, but the journalist noted that some stains remained after the process. Despite this, the Cleanomats represent a modern and efficient approach to dry cleaning, and their arrival in Minsk is a sign of the city's technological progress. Several kiosks have already been installed, with more expected in the future.
