Most housewives are good managers you have to be to make both ends meet in this day and age. Yet, when it comes to choosing a dry cleaner to entrust with their family's wardrobe, so many otherwise value-conscious housewives seem to believe that all dry cleaning is the same. Actually, nothing could be further from the facts. The truth is that frequently the only similarity between the work of several dry cleaners lies in the price charge<J the customer. Only in the dry cleaning ihdustry cart the customer buy a "Cadillac" for the same price as a "Ford." There is just that much difference in dry cleaning. SANITONE cleaners are the "blue chip" cleaners in the industry. There are about 50,000 cleaners in this country Only 1600 of them have qualified for and been granted a Sanitone Franchise. These 1600 Sanitone plants set the Quality standards for the industry. Their services are the "Cadillacs" you can buy at the price of the "Fords."
