President and founder Jacqui Schaefer, who started the business 24 years ago as a one-woman operation, has since grown Recovery Cleaners into a company with 29 employees and a 14,700-square-foot textile restoration facility. The Poseidon Textile Care System handles 70 percent of the collected items and restores them via wet cleaning only. The remaining items are processed via dry cleaning.

Blue Ribbon Cleaners
Over a three-year span, industry newbie Brad Manasco purchased several Mississippi dry cleaning plants and two Certified Restoration Dry Cleaning Network (CRDN) territories. In an effort to improve his new enterprise – Blue Ribbon Cleaners and CRDN of Mississippi (Blue Ribbon Cleaners) – he worked for free to learn the ropes; conducted research on the best cleaning methods; and visited with industry experts about needed equipment updates. His first critical operational change was to swap out dry cleaning for more efficient, less costly wet cleaning.
Peerless Cleaners
“I believe there’s as much money to be made by controlling expenses as bringing in more sales,” said Steve Grashoff, president of Peerless Cleaners (Peerless) and CRDN of Northern Indiana, in Fort Wayne. “Some dry cleaners are so concerned about what’s coming in the front door, they don't realize what it's costing them in the back.”
TSC Wet Cleaners
Using water and biodegradable chemicals to clean virtually any garment or fabric, TSC Wet Cleaners is unique in Mississauga, Ontario. The family owned business operated as a traditional dry cleaner for 20 years before flipping operations upside down and embracing water over perc. Today, a decade since the switch, TSC Wet Cleaners is more profitable and environmentally friendly than ever.
University Cleaners
Tasked to become a “green” operator, University City Cleaners, in San Diego, recently ousted dry cleaning practices for eco-friendly wet cleaning. The foundational change left customers gleeful, the environment grateful and the business more productive and efficient. Who might owners Hyeon-Dong and Young-Sook Choi thank for the change? Their landlord, of course.
