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!” …

Give A Kid A Coat 2021

On Saturday, February 13th, we wrapped up the 2021 Give A Kid A Coat campaign, and on Monday, we published a press release saying thanks and sharing this year’s stats.

Home Laundry is Harder than it Looks

Who knew there were so many rules to doing laundry? With the variety in today’s fabrics, all the different types of detergents, and the complicated machines, home laundry is way harder than it looks. To top it all off, clothing manufacturers put crazy symbols on care labels expecting common folk to be able to decipher them. You need a cheat sheet permanently posted in your laundry room for reference. …

How Did the Zipper Come About?

Recently, we paid homage to the button by discussing why men’s and women’s shirts buttoned on different sides. This week, I thought it only fair that I share a little history on the humble zipper. After all, the zipper plays an important role in our everyday dress. Remember button-fly jeans? Thankfully that craze didn’t last long. …
