Let Us Show You How We Are Different.
Sudsies isn’t your normal dry cleaner, our valets are not just delivery drivers, our practices are not your ordinary dry cleaning practices, and our boutiques aren’t your typical locations. In fact, nothing about Sudsies is ordinary; we are a special company that prioritizes customer service, treats every garment as if it is our own, and adopts only the best and latest dry cleaning equipment and practices to make sure your garments are cleaned to the highest standards.
In fact, we are so confident in what we do, other dry cleaners often ship the most delicate and high-value items to us, because they know we can care for them. We also regularly invite other dry cleaning businesses to learn our techniques and methods, because we know that elevating the industry as a whole is good for all of us.
Not Your Typical Service: Going Beyond the Basics
At Sudsies, customer service is our highest priority. Unlike traditional dry cleaners where customers might feel like just another transaction, Sudsies wants to leave everyone who comes through our doors (or meets our valets) satisfied, smiling, and feeling like they are our most important guest. Every garment, regardless of its brand or cost, is treated as if it’s a precious, high-value item. The goal at Sudsies is to ensure that everyone feels a level of care and attention that surpasses their expectations.
Valets Who Care: More Than Just Drivers
Sudsies drivers are not merely transportation personnel; they are valets with a wealth of knowledge about dry cleaning. These valets go beyond the routine pick-up and drop-off; they are your point of contact, ready to answer questions, provide insights into garment care, and even take specific instructions about your clothes. This personalized touch is what makes the entire dry cleaning process seamless and tailored to each customer’s unique needs.
Boutique Locations: Step Into The Magic
Step into a Sudsies boutique, and you’ll quickly realize it’s not your average dry cleaning establishment. Sudsies calls its locations “boutiques,” creating an environment that reflects cleanliness, sophistication, and a commitment to staying updated with the latest and best equipment. These boutiques are not just places where clothes are cleaned; they are places with the most efficient, eco-friendly, and technologically advanced equipment and places where your clothes are treated with the utmost care and attention. Sudsies is also very proud to be the most eco-friendly dry cleaner in Florida.
Sudsies University: Keeping Up With High Fashion
Fabrics are always changing – some becoming more and more high-tech while others are becoming more delicate. Best practices in the dry cleaning industry are also in constant flux, but Sudsies University keeps all our employees ahead of the curve. Employees undergo in-depth training to equip them with the knowledge and skills required to handle delicate high-fashion garments, high-tech outer gear for your favorite sports, and the softest children’s blankets and clothing on the market. Sudsies University ensures that every staff member is a true expert in the field, capable of navigating the dynamic landscape of the dry cleaning industry.
Sudsies: Where Other Dry Cleaners Send Their Clothing
You know you’re in good hands when you send your clothing to the company that cares for other dry cleaner’s clothes. At Sudsies, we regularly receive shipments of high-value and delicate items that other dry cleaners don’t want to handle. We also are regularly recommended to guests by designers and high-fashion clothing stores that want to ensure the proper aftercare of what they make and sell. Designers know the clothes will last longer and look better if they receive proper dry cleaning and care.
Interesting Facts About the History of Dry Cleaning
- -Dry cleaning has its roots in ancient civilizations, with the process dating back to the earliest recorded history. The ancient Romans used ammonia-rich urine to clean their garments, and later, the French developed a method using turpentine and kerosene in the mid-19th century.
- -The modern dry cleaning process, as we know it today, was discovered by Jean-Baptiste Jolly in the mid-19th century. He accidentally spilled lamp oil on a tablecloth and observed that it became cleaner. This led to the development of the first dry cleaning machine, known as “Jolly-Belin,” which used a combination of solvents, including turpentine and kerosene.
- -The widespread adoption of dry cleaning began in the early 20th century when a chemical solvent known as perchloroethylene (perc) was introduced. Perc quickly became the industry standard due to its effectiveness in cleaning fabrics without causing damage.
- -During the Great Depression, the dry cleaning industry experienced significant growth as people sought to preserve their clothing in economic hardship. This period marked the establishment of many dry cleaning businesses across the United States.
- -Over the years, advancements in technology and environmental awareness have led to the development of alternative solvents and more sustainable dry cleaning practices. The industry continues to evolve, with a focus on providing effective and environmentally friendly solutions for garment care.
