About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver dropped off a package and noticed an old lady whispering something under her breath as she left. ‘What’s that you’re saying?’ he asked curiously. She turned around with a mischievous smile and replied, “Don’t worry, it’ll come out…” Days later, when he picked up another order from Fay Cleaners, the same driver overheard someone muttering again. This time, his curiosity got the better of him, so he pretended to leave but hid behind a corner. Peering round, he saw an elderly gentleman shaking his head and saying, 'No, no, not quite clean enough...' The driver burst into laughter and walked in, explaining what he'd heard. They both looked at each other and grinned—apparently, everyone in town had become friends with Fay Cleaners' magical cleaning powers.

2. One day, after closing time, Fay Cleaners received an urgent message over their intercom: ‘Your shirts are dancing in the wind outside!’ Curious, the owner rushed outside only to see a delivery driver frantically waving his arms, trying to herd five neatly pressed shirts that were floating like kites down the street. With a smile, she asked him if he needed help. 'They're mine,' he said, blushing, 'and I guess they missed their usual spot.'

3. One afternoon, while Fay Cleaners was closed for lunch, a mysterious note appeared on the door. It read: ‘Your best clothes are waiting inside.’ Curious, a regular customer named Sarah decided to peek inside. To her surprise, she found her favorite dress perfectly pressed and smelling of lavender. Excitedly, she asked the cleaner if he’d seen anyone else’s clothes. He shook his head, grinning slyly. ‘Maybe it’s our little secret,’ he whispered, winking at Sarah as she left with her freshly cleaned outfit.

4. A neighbor stopped by one evening, carrying a strange box under her arm. She whispered something about needing emergency cleaning services, but no one else could hear. She quickly left, and that night Fay noticed an unusual stain on the shirt she’d been working on. The next morning, when she showed it to a regular customer, they both burst out laughing—it was just a blob of ketchup from last week’s barbecue. Turns out, the mysterious neighbor had accidentally brought in someone else’s laundry.
