The business duo have spent several months converting the building into their new business, after moving an off shoot of the business from Winsford to Sandbach. 

'Tricky Treads & Threads Dry Cleaning & Laundry' uses eco-friendly products and plant-friendly products and has a Facebook page is here  

"The products are gentle but offer a top-quality result," said Richard, who hit on the business idea previously after selling pre-loved top-of-the-range trainers.

Now he has extended the idea into clothing and the couple are offering a full dry clean and laundry service which includes wash, folding and ironing and even free pick-up. 

"So many trainers get dismissed and thrown out when all they read is a good clean," said Richard, who owns '100's' of pairs of trainers himself. 

Richard used the named 'Tricky' in the business as this was a nickname friends had to for him. 

"We've been waiting for a premises to come up in Sandbach as we wanted to open here," said Richard who lives in the town with his partner.

"Luxury clothing items such as high- end jackets and coats are getting harder to clean but we have the solution." 

In the run-up to opening, the couple have been testing the equipment including cleaning a wedding dress and a Moncler jacket. 

"The results have been fabulous," said Richard. "We've cleaned a padded jacket which had been bought off a pre-loved site and had a special finish. It looks amazing." 

Former A & E senior sister, Nicole, says interest in cleaning wedding dresses has been good too. 

"The products give wedding dresses at gentle but deep clean and we can put them in a box in our 'wedding dress clean and box' service."
