We rent, we sell and we wash.

Textiles and workwear. The three do not rule each other out, and many of our customers use two or all three.

01 · Rental

Rent from us

We source the textiles and workwear, deliver them as agreed, wash and repair them, and replace worn items with new ones.

02 · Sales

Buy them outright

We sell bed linen, pillows and duvets as well as workwear directly. The textiles are yours, and we still wash them.

03 · Washing

Bring us your own

We also wash and maintain textiles and workwear you have bought yourself or sourced elsewhere.

History and story

60 years.

Hilkka Rusanen opened Pesu-Palvelu in October 1966 in Pieksämäki, in the same building as a public sauna. While the family bathed, the machine washed the laundry.

This year makes sixty years, and the company is led by a third-generation entrepreneur. Along the way we have taken on the oldest laundry in Helsinki, dating from 1930, and the Raahe laundry, still known locally as the Pattijoki laundry.
