New Madison, IN Store!

It's been awhile since I've had the chance to update our Blog.  I'm not a full time blogger or even social media person and like many small business managers, have "many hats to wear".  I thought it would be a good time to update everyone on our new Madison, IN store opened in January 2012.  As rumors spread in late 2011 that Madison, IN only Dry Cleaners was closing up, the mayor contacted us about opening in town.  We had to act fast but in just two months, we were open for business!

We purchased the house and retail unit located on "the hilltop" at 1605 Clifty Drive.  We made minor repairs/renovations to the brick house and moved into that unit because it was in better shape.  Our plans were to fully renovate the retail building and move into the retail building once complete.  The renovation would include convenient features such as a drive thru, and 24 hr locker pick up access.  Below are a few pictures of the construction progress and our new sign at the property.  The town has responded well to us being there and we are also a member of the Madison Chamber of Commerce to help further support the local community.

This year, we plan to continue to finish work on the retail unit and eventually move.  We have also started a Wednesday and Saturday Free Pick Up & Delivery route service for Madison residents.  This route will be service by Madison, IN resident and one of route drivers, Matt Johnson.  You can call Matt anytime to start your route service at 812-599-0930 or sign up at www.nuyale.com

What can I do if I'm too busy during the holidays to make trips to the dry cleaners?

Solution:  Check and see if your cleaners offers a FREE pick up and delivery route service to your home/office.  It's a strange concept to some, so I thought I'd answer a few common questions I receive about our route service.

1.  When do you come by for pick up/delivery?

Depending on your location, we follow a Monday & Thursday or Tuesday & Friday schedule.

2.  Do I have to be home for delivery?

No.  We provide you with 2 garment bags and a clear door hang for your front door. 

3.  Should I worry about my clothes being taken?

No.  This has not been an issue for us or thousands of cleaners across the country. 

4.  Do I need to call you for a pick up?

No.  We will always be by 2X a week whether you have soiled garments or not.

5.  How do I sign up for this free service?

3 easy ways a dry cleaner can help you go green?

After recently receiving the 2010 GLI inc.credible award for the Greening/Sustainability category, I would like to share some simple ways to protect the environment with your dry cleaner.

The Dry Cleaning Process:  Is your cleaners still using a hazardous solvent called Perc or Hydrocarbon?  If so, seek a cleaners that has proactively switched to a CO2 based process or Solvair.  These are currently the only methods approved by the EPA and are more effective in removing a wider range of stains.

 Recycling Hangers:   Some cleaners may use a biodegradable hanger while others actively promote the recycling of hangers by providing free hanger caddies for their customers.

Free pick up & Delivery:  See if your dry cleaner offers free pick up & delivery to your home or office.  This not only saves time and money but also helps the environment.

At Nu Yale Cleaners, we are truly green in all three areas.  Our New Glacier Dry Cleaning developed by Solvair is the only in Kentuckiana.  We encourage our customers to return hangers in our free hanger caddies and any customer can utilize our free pick up & delivery service by simply signing up on our website.  Go green and come see the Nu Yale difference today!
