I’d like to delay answering that question until I answer these two questions. First, what is shrinkage? Second, why does it happen in clothing? The definition of shrink is ‘to become or make smaller in size or amount; contract or cause to contract.’ Clothing can

White shirts, including t-shirts, tops, and blouses, are staples in my wardrobe for a variety of reasons. I like the look of a crisp, bright white shirt in general, but I love how it goes with anything and can be dressed up or down. The

So many times it’s who you know, and for Joe, it was another A Cleaner World manager that spoke highly of both the company and the job. Four years later, he’s running one of my favorite locations – Battleground Avenue in Greensboro. Besides being my favorite location, this A Cleaner World store is the one our president, Chris Edwards, ran when he was a store manager many moons ago.

I’ve never been a trend-setter when it comes to fashion; in fact, I once took a fashion quiz that labeled me as an Audrey Hepburn wannabe. It’s true; I love black, A-line cuts, and timeless pieces, so I’ve never been one to purchase ‘fast fashion’

Quality clothing isn’t cheap, and I am all about my clothes lasting as well as looking good every single time I wear a piece. Really, I could go on and on about why professional garment care is so important, but I pulled it together into four main points. But if I’d broken them apart into more detail, it could have easily turned into ten. Don’t just take my word for it, our CFO Dianne Berberich once wrote on our Facebook page: “I not only work for A Cleaner World - I'm a home delivery customer and love not having to take my clothes anywhere!”
