Raj Dry Cleaner

Raj Dry Cleaner is situated over in Jhotwara, right near the Industrial Area. It’s a busy spot because of all the factories and offices nearby. We get a lot of workers dropping off their uniforms or people from the neighborhood bringing in their good clothes. The machines are running almost all day long. You can always hear the hum and smell the soap when you walk in. It gets pretty warm inside, especially in the summer months. We've been doing this for quite some time now. We handle everything from basic shirts to heavy curtains. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s steady. We have a small counter where we write out the tickets by hand. Most of our customers have been coming to us for years. They know us by name, and we know how they like their collars done. We try to be careful with everything, though mistakes happen once in a blue moon because we're only human. We just fix it and move on. The shop is a bit small, so the finished clothes hang everywhere on the racks. It’s a simple business. We don’t do any fancy marketing. People just see the sign when they're passing through Jhotwara and stop by. It’s a local place through and through. We keep a ledger for everything. It's old school, but it works for us. The steam from the irons makes the windows foggy in the morning. We have a small television in the corner that we keep on the news, mostly for background noise. Sometimes we get a stain that just won't come out, and we feel bad about it.
