A funny thing happened

A regular customer and his wife showed up asked if they could talk to me in private. I said “yes, sure,” and led them to my office. But as we approached the office, the gentleman said he would prefer to go into the bathroom. I showed him where it was, and he went inside....with his wife following behind. Needless to say, I was somewhat perplexed by this. Shortly after, his wife emerge with her husband's pants in her hands. Now it began to make sense to me. They were on their way to work, and somehow he managed to rip the seat of his pants. He had an important meeting at the office, so he didn't have much time, and he certainly couldn't show up with eh, tattered clothes. I brought the man a chair so he could wait comfortably in the bathroom. Less than 15 minutes later, the man was on his way to work with no rip in his pants. With his quick thinking and our committment to our customers, a big problem was easily avoided. And what was our charge for this service? Nothing.

A customer is more than a customer, he/she is also friend. And that’s what friends are for.

Wow! I tried that once in the US, and they told me it was a 4 hour minimum and a $15 charge. I hope when I am there, I don't need you for that, but I just put you im my Palm....Just in case!

From: Laurie:
When I spill on my dry-clean only blouses or dresses, is it better to try to get out the stain immediately with a stain remover pen, or should I leave the stain alone and let you take it out? Thanks!

Dear Laurie,
For common food and grease stains, please remove excess and blot it dry. A stain removal stick like Tide Out could be tried. But there is no guarantee. Also, treating stains with hot water would make is harder to remove later.

For other stains and especially red wine stains, it is more complicated and we advice that you do not try on your own other than blotting out the excess and sending it to a professional cleaner as soon as possible.

Do you have a branch in Hong Kong?  Or can do pick up / delivery from there?

And we had a great time helping the theatrical group "Hair Spray" when they were here in early July. They had great success with the production - we extend our congratulations to Dan Ferretti and the rest of the cast. Even though to some it may just be "laundry", it was our pleasure to keep the cast in clean, fresh clothes as they entertained Shanghai. We hope they will return soon.

Monica,
Thank you so much for the professional and timely job your cleaners did for our laundry. It was a pleasant surprise to see the clothes prepared so carefully and pampered for our needs. Definitely a five-star performance. Thank you.
