A few stories people tell about this place
1. A little girl walked into Welsh’s Cleaners one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder as she followed the scent of fresh laundry soap. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks—her toy poodle began barking furiously at an empty corner cabinet.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Welsh’s Cleaners one morning, frowning as he noticed an unfamiliar car parked suspiciously near the back entrance. 'Strange,' he muttered under his breath, 'I’ve never seen that vehicle before.' He got out of the truck and approached the suspicious car with a cautious smile.

The whole town was laughing—and getting cleaner—in the process.

'Ma'am,' he growled, 'have you seen my missing sock?' She smiled sweetly and replied, 'Oh yes, dearie, I found it last week. Thought I'd keep it safe for you.' The cleaner burst out laughing, and everyone else joined in—except for a quiet delivery driver who just shook his head and muttered, 'Another lost sock...'
