The chemical washing, finishing and steam dyeing facility, which was equipped with patented and most modern machines at the time, could be described as a model facility. The chemical laundry, so-called dry laundry, was suitable for every type of women's and children's wardrobe. All objects, including the finest street and party toilets, silk robes or masked costumes, were cleaned unseparated with every trim, be it in silk, velvet, pearls , embroidery , gold or silver , without any damage in terms of color, shrinkage or condition.
Two steam boilers, each with a heating surface of 70 square meters, and a powerful steam engine operated the establishment, in whose bright, well-ventilated, electrically-lit rooms around 1900 around 80 to 100 people were employed.
