Cleanup
Cleanup is a Japanese manufacturer of systemised kitchens, bathrooms and washstands, founded in Tokyo in 1949 by Noboru Inoue as a maker of zelkova wooden tables. The company moved into stainless-steel sink stands in 1960, took the Cleanup trademark in 1961, and in 1973 introduced Japan’s first systemised kitchen.
Headquartered in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, and listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the company employs around 3,480 people and produces in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, where its factories make stainless-steel cabinets, kitchens, bathrooms and artificial marble tops. Alongside its domestic network of showrooms and sales offices it sells abroad, and in 2026 presented Mobility Fixtures, a portable kitchen, basin and shower, at the Unfixed Life exhibition during Milan Design Week.
