Cleaners

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when most dry cleaners were asleep, an old van pulled up outside The Cleaners. A delivery driver jumped out, carrying a large box marked ‘Top Secret’. He whispered something into the night air before disappearing inside. Inside, the owner looked quizzically at the box, then shrugged and placed it in the back room. Months later, a regular customer noticed a strange scent coming from the cleaned clothes. Curious, she asked the owner what it was. With a smile, he replied, 'Oh, that’s just our secret fragrance for special deliveries.'

2. In a small town in New England, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual stacks of shirts and pants on Cleaners’ loading dock lay a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious but cautious, he placed it inside, thinking perhaps someone had forgotten it. When he opened it later that day, there was only an old photo album filled with pictures from the 1950s—someone’s long-forgotten memories. The delivery driver kept it for himself, deciding it belonged more in his home than in some dry cleaner’s closet. From then on, whenever anyone asked him what happened to that strange package, he’d just smile and say, ‘It found its way back home.’

3. In the early hours of morning, while everyone else slept, a delivery driver heard a strange voice calling out from inside Cleaners: ‘Hey, you there! Don’t worry, I won’t bite—this time!’ Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a tattered suit, dusting off the counters. The man waved cheerfully, saying, 'Morning, sonny! Just here for some fresh air.' Turned out the Cleaners had a secret garden behind it where the owner liked to spend his nights. A heartwarming tale indeed.

4. At dawn, when most people were just waking up, a delivery driver noticed a strange figure wheeling laundry baskets into the Cleaners' back door. Curious, he followed and saw an old man carefully placing shirts and pants in the racks. Turns out it was just a neighborhood retiree who did everyone’s laundry on the sly—because his wife wouldn’t stop complaining about how busy the cleaners were. The delivery driver grinned, thinking that maybe some secrets are better left unsolved.
