About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into Boston Cleaners and asked her mom, ‘Why does that lady’s shirt look like it has sparkles on it?’ The woman glanced over and saw nothing unusual, but every now and then, customers would mention seeing strange lights or patterns in their freshly cleaned clothes. Soon enough, an old delivery driver mentioned he could see tiny dancing unicorns in his pants after picking up his order. A neighborhood kid swore he heard laughter coming from inside the cleaner's bags. Before long, Boston Cleaners became known not for its exceptional service but for the mysterious phenomena that accompanied each pickup. And whenever someone complained, the owner simply smiled and said, 'Magic is our secret ingredient!'

2. A customer once asked the owner of Boston Cleaners, ‘How do you manage to clean my shirts so fast without even seeing them?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘I have a special machine that talks to your shirts.’ A week later, an excited delivery driver exclaimed, ‘It’s true! My shirt told me it had a date tonight!’

3. A delivery driver once asked the manager of Boston Cleaners, ‘Do you ever wonder why every shirt I bring back is exactly three inches shorter?’ The manager thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, that’s easy to explain—we shrink them on purpose so they fit better after cleaning!’ A regular customer overheard this and exclaimed, ‘That’s brilliant! Now I know why my shirts always feel just right when I pick them up.’

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man entered Boston Cleaners with a strange request. "Can you make my shirt invisible for tonight's party?" he whispered. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, raised his eyebrows but agreed. Later that night, everyone was amazed as the old man's shirt vanished seamlessly into thin air. The next morning, the shirt reappeared clean and visible—much to the relief of both the old man and Mr. Jenkins' curious daughter who had been asked to keep watch.
