Overview
Trickys Sandbach are known locally for their eco-friendly laundry and dry cleaning services. Based in the heart of Cheshire, they support individuals and businesses across Sandbach, Wheelock, Elworth, Middlewich, Crewe and the surrounding areas. But it’s their forward-thinking approach that’s helping them stand out from the crowd.
Background
Founded by Richard Dunn, Trickys originally carved out a niche in high-end trainer cleaning. But Richard soon spotted an opportunity to expand into premium casual wear and garments that required a gentler, greener clean. That’s where the Wavepoint Group came in.
Solution
After visiting our showroom and experiencing a live demo of the Electrolux Lagoon® Advanced Care system, Richard made the decision to invest in a new wet cleaning solution, and a new high street store to go with it.
Equipment installed and services provided:
- Electrolux WH6-14 14kg Lagoon® Advanced Care Washer
- Electrolux TD6-14 14kg Lagoon® Advanced Care Dryer
- PONY Genus-SV Finishing Table
- Lagoon® onsite wet cleaning training
With full training from our team and a powerful new wet cleaning setup in place, Trickys was able to introduce a broader range of services for their customers, all with the added benefit of a more sustainable, solvent-free solution.

Results
Just months after the installation, Richard took things one step further, opening a separate unit dedicated to commercial laundry. This second site now handles growing demand from local businesses, allowing Trickys to offer even more value and flexibility to their clients.
Michael J Michael, Wavepoint Group, added:
“A real pleasure working alongside Richard and his partner Nicole on this project, clients that fully understand and embrace the sustainability, costs saving and potential of the Lagoon Wet Cleaning system, focussing not only on planning the start-up but also for future business explanation and chasing new revenue streams.”
From high-end footwear to commercial linen, Trickys Sandbach are proof that with the right technology and support, eco-friendly cleaning can be good for business too.
“We started out as a small trainer-cleaning business and have grown into a full commercial and domestic laundry operation. That growth simply wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Wavepoint Group. The team were excellent — really helpful during the shop setup, providing all the training and information we needed. We’ll definitely be using them again for future installations.”
Richard Dunn, Owner of Trickys Sandbach
