  • Holiday cleanup.

    Before you stow away remains of the holiday, make sure everything is clean and ready for another celebration. We clean messy Santa suits, pitchy tree skirts, eggnogged lapels and almost everything else. We’ll do our best to remove the ugly from holiday sweaters — sorry, ugly that’s woven into the design is beyond our even…

  • Happy New Year!

    “You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis.  May your new year be filled with smiles, love, luck and prosperity.

  • Resolutions.

    New Year’s resolutions for Tuesday. First, Peace. Followed by the usuals: eat better, smile more, lose weight, learn something new, share, drink more water, walk. To that we’ll add “Say Hello” to someone new every day. We say hello a lot every day as part of our job. And the more we do it, the…

  • Merry Christmas.

    We’re closed today to be with family and friends, celebrating the holidays and preparing for a wonderful new year. As Charles Shultz, creator of Peanuts, said, “Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.” We hope you’ve enjoyed your share of “a little something extra” this year. We’ve built our business by providing it…

  • Happy solstice!

    Tomorrow’s the longest night of the year — days start getting longer Sunday morning! We can make your time in bed even more comfortable with cleaning and laundry services to keep everything from sheets to pillows and comforters fresh and cozy. 

  • Holiday travel.

    Traveling for the holidays? Make your trip easier by packing smarter. Choose a travel wardrobe that will do double or triple duty for extended wear. Use the plastic wrap from your cleaning to separate items and prevent wrinkling. Stuff shoes with stockings and underwear. Pack complete children’s outfits, complete with socks and underwear, in zip…

  • Winter hazard warning.

    Deicing products, like salt, are a welcome relief from slippery sidewalks and driveways. But when salty slush and water splash on your clothes, the chemicals can pull color, leave rings and create permanent stains on winter clothing and shoes. Before your snow-spattered trousers, skirt or outerwear show the signs of damage, bring them in for…

  • Crisp, clean and professional.

    That’s what you give with a gift certificate from us. Your grateful recipient will enjoy expert dry cleaning and laundry with your compliments. We’ll create a certificate in any denomination, from stocking stuffer to magnificent. It’s a gift that’s always welcome and appreciated.

  • Keep it local.

    Want to make a local, sustainable choice? Look no further than your local merchants. Hometown businesses create jobs and contribute to our community in many ways. The numbers are impressive: three-quarters of every dollar stays here in your community compared to only about 40% when shopping at a chain outlet. 

  • Unwanted leftovers?

    If candles dripped on the tablecloth, let everything cool and peel the wax off with your fingers. If it’s stubborn, freeze the tablecloth, then scrape off the wax with a credit card. Wash in hot water to remove remaining embedded wax. Better yet, and a lot easier, bring your table linens to us for expert…
