Martinizing Dry Cleaning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martinizing Dry Cleaning is a dry cleaning franchise founded in 1949. Martin Franchises, Inc., the parent company, is the largest dry cleaning franchise in the United States, with over 600 franchised stores worldwide. The family owned company is based in Loveland, Ohio.
The Martinizing process promises one-hour dry-cleaning, much faster than traditional processes. In particular, the cleaning is done on-site rather than in a central plant.
