1 hour dry cleaners

Ok so I looked through the forum and couldn't really find anything about 1 hour dry cleaners. I would think that this is fairly standard in most major cities araound the world but the swiss look at me like I am from another planet if I ask about this. So the question is does anyone know if there is a 1 or 2 hour dry cleaning service in/near Zurich. 3 days for waiting for a suit is just a little ridiculous for me, but who knows maybe my expectations are insane. Yes I know about the airport but they take at least 4 hours with the "express", I was hoping to find something a bit quicker

Most places to which I take my suits quote 3-5 days. There is nothing for it, you will have to buy a second suit

Even the most sweaty gentleman's activities should not mean he needs three suit changes per hour. Real gentleman forget their dry cleaning, only to see some young fella in the street wearing his suit that he put in for dry cleaning in 1979.

There is nothing for it, you will have to buy a second wardrobe.

Re: 1 hour dry cleaners

Came here looking for the same thing. Seems the best you can get is about 3 hours. After extensive searching, found:

1) Airport: it takes an hour, but they only run the machine when they have enough to fill it. Can't find a tel #.

2) Purella-Oerlikon Textilreinigung does "Express" shirts (only)
Schwamendingenstrasse 41 /Dorflinde, 8050 Zürich
tel 044 312 05 48

3) Laesser Textilreinigung: http://www.textilreinigung-laesser.ch/startframe.htm
They seem to do it all, Express costs 30% extra, and I'll see just how fast "express" really is tomorrow.
