For years, Brown’s Cleaners, located in Ottawa, Canada, has built its reputation on solving garment care challenges that others may turn away. Recently, owner Mike Leeworthy experienced a standout success story involving heavily soiled outdoor jackets from Choko Design.
The jackets arrived covered in stubborn oil stains that traditional methods simply could not remove. Complicating matters further, the care labels clearly stated: “Do Not Dry Clean.”
Rather than giving up on the garments, Mike relied on the cleaning power and versatility of GreenEarth Cleaning. After processing the jackets in GreenEarth, he followed up by washing them and hanging them to dry according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The result exceeded expectations. “My customer will be very pleased with this outcome,” Mike shared.
For cleaners, technical garments and outdoor apparel often present unique challenges. Fabrics must maintain their performance qualities while also responding to difficult stains from oils, grease, and heavy outdoor use. This experience reinforced how GreenEarth can help cleaners safely tackle garments that may otherwise seem impossible to restore.
Mike also emphasized the broader value this brings to customers who invest in quality outdoor gear.
“I hope we can help our customers to enjoy their outdoor gear even more,” he said.
