French Cleaners Supports Local Media by donating $100 Gift Certificate

Thank you to French Cleaners in West Hartford for donating a $100 Gift Certificate.
In the Beginning…

During the early 1920’s dry-cleaning was becoming more of an integral part of tailoring and clothing care. Hence, in March of 1925, Benjamin Mellman, Morris Gassner and Jacob Ritvoe built and incorporated the French Dye Works at 935 Farmington Avenue. The only change was the addition of the front office….

Today…

Through the years Mickey and Phil worked to replace equipment, modernize the facility and turn French Cleaners into a Dry-Cleaning showplace. The French Cleaners has been written about inside and outside of the trade for the innovations to the industry, knowledge of handling specialty and fine garments and has been recognized as one of “America’s Best Cleaners”.
