Nothing feels like a hand-finished shirt

In its almost five decades under the same management, Society Cleaners (@societycleaners #societycleaners) has catered to the needs of many professionals, investment bankers, attorneys, media personalities, government officials, and others who require perfection in the care of their suits and shirts.

Society has distinguished itself by providing its clientele hand hand-finished shirts free of charge. It adds to the stellar reputation of the Coral Gables award-winning boutique establishment.  Whereas others may add a surcharge, our staff handles, proud of their work, locally bespoke shirts from Coral Gables tailors, high-end designers and the classics from Turnbull & Asser, Charles Tyrwhitt, Charvet, Battistoni, Kiton and others. Linen shirts and guayaberas, now a Miami staple, are completely done by hand. 

The well-dressed gentleman trusts Society Cleaners. 

Society Cleaners becomes a set for a movie

Society Cleaners, a movie set

Society Cleaners' Art Deco architecture has been featured in a museum exhibit at the Frost Art Museum, in a fashion shoot and in professional photographers' architectural studies. It is now the Coral Gables boutique dry cleaners' turn to be the setting for a movie.

The opening scenes of a motion picture detailing the history of an immigrant story were recently filmed in our premises. It seemed very important for us to support independent film making when the producer is a woman with a great artistic vision and a wonderful script.  A confidentiality contract does not allow our company to reveal the title, producer's name nor studio. The film is obviously in its early stages. 

For legal reasons and to preserve the sound requirements, we were not allowed to take pictures during the actual filming, the actors, dolly, sound system and lighting.  Care was taken by the studio to protect our customers' clothes, covering them with a heavy plastic material.

We will keep everyone updated about the future release.

Dry Cleaning in the Times of Covid

 

The CDC and WHO state the dry cleaning and laundry processes kill most viruses.  The CDC advises that the dry cleaning, which includes cleaning and pressing, is effective eliminating viruses. 

According to Dan Eisen, "The heat used in all finishing would most likely destroy all germs, viruses and bacteria. The temperature of the steam created reaches temperatures of over 300 degrees Farenheit. It would seem that steam tunnels would be an efficient way of disinfecting." He adds: "strong solvents such as perchloroethylene have less problems with bacteria." Eisen, a published author and consultant is the former chief garment analyst for the National Cleaners Association.

Dry cleaning your clothes, even when working from home, is part of  comprehensive COVID precautionary measures like wearing masks and gloves, a practice encouraged by our personnel. Society Cleaners is disciplined with the frequent use of EPA-approved disinfectants and proper ventilation. 

Make dry cleaning part of your COVID-protection habits. 

Our best wishes to all our clients, and friends. Please stay safe and be well.
