Garments Dry Cleaners

Our shop is called Garments Dry Cleaners and we sit right at the Raja Mandi Crossing. The address is on Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, near Noori Gate. It’s a spot where a lot of roads meet, so it gets very busy with traffic and people walking by. We’ve been cleaning clothes for the neighborhood for a long time. It’s a family-run thing. We have the big machines in the back and a small counter in the front where we take in the laundry. It smells like soap and steam in here most of the day. We get a lot of shirts and suits from people who work nearby. Sometimes the steam makes the shop really warm, especially in the summer months. We don't have a fancy waiting area, just a chair or two if someone needs to wait a minute. We write all the tickets by hand and hang the finished clothes on the long racks overhead. You can see the plastic covers swaying whenever the fan is on. Shahid Bhagat Singh Road is always loud, but we are used to it by now. We know which customers like their starch heavy and who wants a light press. It is hard work and our hands are always busy, but we like seeing the clothes look fresh again. It's just what we do to get by and keep the family going. Every day is pretty much the same for us.
