History and Highlights

​Duskin Museum​ is a hands-on experiential facility where both children and adults can learn about the history and culture of cleaning and donuts through play. Duskin Co., Ltd. opened the facility on October 1, 2015, in Suita, the company's birthplace.

The museum stands on the site of a plant that washed used mats and mops when the company was founded in 1963. Duskin created a new cleaning culture with chemically treated dust cloths that remove dust without water, and in 1971, introduced authentic American handmade donuts to Japan. Centered around these two themes of "Clean" and "Delicious," the facility is divided into the first floor's "Mister Donut Museum," where visitors can enjoy the history of Mister Donut and donut-making experiences, and the second floor's "Cleaning Museum," where visitors can learn about the history and culture of cleaning through interactive experiences.
