Our Focus

"the vast majority of consumers choose their cleaner the way they buy chicken"

It has been said that the vast majority of consumers choose their cleaner the way they buy chicken -- a hasty examination of the parts that are visible through the plastic wrap, and a hope that what's hidden under the plastic wrap will be just fine! For many consumers, this approach to selecting a cleaner is adequate.

The RAVE FabriCARE client, however, is quite different. And, consequently, so is the focus of this section of our website.

Specifically, this section of our website has been designed for:

  • those who have a substantial investment in a quality wardrobe or in a few prized designer, high fashion, specialty or couture garments
  • those who want to maintain and preserve their wardrobe in pristine condition
  • those who seek factual, accurate information about true quality fabricare, and/or
  • those who want to make an informed, educated decision about their choice of a true quality drycleaner.
