What is wet cleaning? First, dry cleaning is not dry, your clothes are cleaned in chemicals labeled "hazardous materials" that are removed by the end of the cleaning cycle, which is why it's called "dry cleaning". Wet cleaning does the same job with the use of computer controled machines and special cleaning agents that are bio-degradable. No "haz mat", no smelly chemicals, only clean, neatly pressed clothes, as fresh as a Palmetto breeze :) We have learned about wet cleaning in 2007 hands-on from the previous owner of our dry cleaning plant in North Charleston. We purchased the plant after seven years of being a loyal and happy customer of it. We continued to learn ever since, with both Robert and Marti spending several years working in every phase of the operation. We are blessed to have a team of dedicated associates who are dedicated to "excellence in garment care". We are all aware that every action we take contributes to keeping current customers coming back and to gain customers through referral.
