About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Stafford Cleaners and noticed something strange. The usual hum of the dry cleaner’s machines had been replaced by a deep, rhythmic thrumming sound—like an old record player playing at double speed. Curious, he walked inside and saw that one of the cleaners was dancing enthusiastically to some unheard music, completely oblivious to the world around him. A regular passing by stopped to watch, thinking it was part of the new staff training video, until they realized everyone else in the shop was also tapping their feet. It turned out to be just another day at Stafford Cleaners—where even the dry cleaning machines occasionally break into song.
2. One day, a customer asked the cleaner, ‘Why does my shirt look like it’s been ironed by a robot on acid?’ The cleaner smiled and replied, 'Sir, our iron has a secret passion for abstract art!' The customer laughed and left, never realizing his shirts were now part of an underground fashion movement among local hipsters.
3. One afternoon, an irate neighbor stormed into Stafford Cleaners, yelling, ‘How dare you clean my dog’s fur?!’ The staff calmly explained that it was a mistake and offered to redo the job for free. The neighbor, still fuming, left but returned later with a bag of freshly washed vegetables from his garden as an apology. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Stafford Cleaners, someone always jokes, 'Did they clean your clothes or your dog again?'
4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Stafford Cleaners. The sign read ‘Closed,’ but the lights were on inside. The driver knocked gently and heard a muffled voice from within: 'Just a sec, I’m almost done!' A sleepy figure appeared, rubbing eyes, saying, “Oh, it’s you… come in, my clothes are waiting!’ And so, the daily ritual continued—just another quiet moment in the life of Stafford Cleaners.
