The team was quick, professional, and left our home spotless that truly the best cleaning service we've used.
They showed up right on time, brought all their own supplies, and cleaned places I didn’t even think of. Highly recommended for busy professionals like me.
“boro” is a Japanese term for patched, mended textiles that have been repaired over and over - loved too much to throw away. That’s the spirit behind what we do: making clothes last, not just longer, but better.
Repairs are just the start. boroboro isn’t just about fixing things - it’s about rethinking how we treat clothing. From basic repairs to bold redesigns, we want to help people build wardrobes that feel personal, sustainable, and full of character.
