Împărăția Curățeniei

The Împărăția Curățeniei branch at Strada Tudor Vladimirescu 8, in the Râșcani district of Chișinău, is the busiest shop in the chain. It stocks cleaning and laundry products, hygiene items, small household goods and cosmetics, and it also offers a carpet cleaning service.

Customers rate the service positively: the broad selection and affordable prices are the arguments that come up again and again, and locals use it as a one-stop shop for the household list.

The criticism is just as consistent. Opening times are not posted on the door, which can mean a wasted trip if you are coming across town — check before you travel. In warm weather the sales floor gets stuffy, as the air conditioning is not working. The most frequent complaint is the tone of the staff: several shoppers describe curt replies at the counter and on the floor. One customer was also unhappy with the carpet cleaning service, so agree the details of that job in advance.
