Finest Quality Shirt Service
& The Whole Truth of Shirt Cleaning The signs hang in most cleaner's windows: Shirts: $1.50; $1.25 and even 99¢! Ever wonder how they do it so cheaply when others don't? It's easy. Cut every corner, use the poorest grade detergents and bang them out as fast as can be done. Quantity, not quality! This is acceptable if you bought your shirts at Kmart. Here's one industry inside fact: It costs the average dry cleaner up to $2.00 to clean and press one shirt at a minimum level of quality. Most consider it a "loss leader." Cleaners do shirts at or near their cost in order to attract other business. Some bang out the shirts in mass quantities trying to make a few pennies profit. All cleaners have to choose between quality or quantity. If you are price shopping, guess which you'll find? With shirt service, a few cents makes a world of difference.
Technology has taken shirt cleaning to highly sophisticated levels. Your shirts can be cleaned to be as bright a white or bold in color as new yet be as pliant and soft as you could hope for. Eco-safe detergents contain enzymes that work on all forms of stains, non-chlorine bleaches that enliven the dullest of colors and conditioners that strengthen fibers to give your shirt that like-new look after years of wear. Detergents are only part of the process. Water temperature, water agitation and extraction rates are all calibrated to precision in highly sophisticated machines that prove their quality daily. Finally, the finishing process completes the perfect shirt. No hot ironing plates here at Greensleeves. That's antiquated technology. Tensioning finishing pulls the shirt tight, softly filling it with steam, using the shirts own shape to accurately press it rather than pressing it to the shape of hot ironing boards. Next, cool air fills it to dry and hold its press. After decades of experience, shirt service has evolved into an art. Why wash your shirts in archaic processes? or use torso shaped ironing boards with hot plates that press every shirt the same way? Cracked buttons, burnt fibers... not really much of a savings. One of our customers actually commented that our shirts "are such a pleasure to put on!" Our Finest Quality Shirt Service, washed and soft-pressed with our tension finishing process: $2.60 per shirt.
