Most ordinary cleaners either no-spot or post-spot
(maybe). They don't pre-spot.
In other words, ordinary cleaners skip the stain removal process
(known as pre-spotting) is skipped entirely and their "stain
removal technician" (I use this term with reservation) merely loads
and unloads a machine.
Truth is, ordinary cleaners operate on a hope and a prayer. They
hope and pray that the stains will miraculously disappear based on
a combination of the
dry cleaning solvent or fluid (the more aggressive the better),
the dry cleaning detergent (maybe, and then the cheaper the
better), the addition or injection of moisture into the dry
cleaning machine (a reckless undertaking), and the dry cleaning
machine's tumbling action. At these cleaners, even simple stains
receive one of those sorry-we-tried-but-we-couldn't tags.
Of course, ordinary cleaners will swear that they don't follow
this approach. "We'd never do that at Tip Top Peerless Professional
Quality Cleaners!" And to reinforce that "fact", they'll highlight
the number of "cleaners" they employ and the
cumulative years of their "experience". (The inference, of course,
is that the number of cleaners and the number of years of their
experience somehow equates to skill).
Yet, at the same time that they tell you that their stain
removal process is best of class, they'll also tell you all about
their fabulous in-by-9:00-out-by-5:00 in-store service and their
outstanding pick-up-on-day-1-deliver-on-day-3 valet service.
The inherent contradiction in these 2 positions should
be obvious to anyone ...
It takes time to professionally clean your garments (i.e., to
pre-spot the garments; completely hang dry the garments prior to
dry cleaning; utilize
wet cleaning, handwashing and/or
garment restoration techniques; dry clean the garments; etc.).
And it takes time to professionally hand-iron, inspect, repair and
package your garments.
Given these time-dependent tasks, it's unlikely that they can be
completed in 1 to 3 days, even with multiple shifts.
So where does the truth lie?
With the actual performance of all these time-consuming tasks?
Or with the promotional claim that all these tasks are actually
performed?
At a true quality cleaner you'll never have to worry about
promotional claims of actual performance. A true quality cleaner
will invest the time necessary to do the job right.
A true quality cleaner will perform extensive stain removal and
cleaning procedures on every garment and household textile. Often
using a multi-stage process, involving dry cleaning, wet cleaning,
handwashing and/or restoration techniques, to protect your
investment. Even if that means taking the time to treat the same
garment or household textile multiple times until the stain has
been removed.
