At Clothesline Cleaners, we do more than just clean clothes — we protect what matters to people.
Customers trust us with their most delicate, meaningful, and valuable garments — from wedding dresses and military uniforms to designer suits and heirlooms. They come to us because we’re known for doing things right — with precision, care, and consistency.
We take that seriously. It’s why every job here matters.
Our mission is simple but powerful:
“Return every garment in better condition than it was received — cleaned to a high standard, safe for the fabric, eco-preferred in process, and ready exactly when promised.”
Every role here — from cleaning to pressing to counter service — plays a part in one thing: Delivering defect-free, eco-preferred garment care.
That’s our core job. If it’s not done right, nothing else matters.
So whether you’re removing stains, finishing collars, inspecting tags, or helping a customer — you’re helping protect that standard. And that standard is what sets us apart.

Rather, the inspector should be able to motivate the finishers to seek excellence in all they do. This person must be knowledgeable in the fabric care industry and have a flair or passion for clothing design and presentation. Not only will the inspector be responsible for monitoring press quality from the finishers but also will be challenged to continuously create new and innovative ideas for packaging the finished garments or other items to create a dynamic presentation to the customer.

A route driver must furnish and maintain a clean driving record. No driver with points against his/her driving record will be hired.

Drivers are expected to follow van maintenance schedules and to notify management of any additional vehicle problems or concerns as they occur.

The driver must learn and maintain basic computer functions and keep clean and updated customer records. All customer orders to be delivered each day must be accounted for, arranged into delivery order, and handled carefully to avoid mixing customer orders. A checklist is provided to ensure accuracy.

A finisher is a clothing press operator. This is a demanding job that can sometimes be hot and humid. This is where the “work” gets done and without dependable finishers, the other departments would fail. The best finishers are detail-oriented but conscious of the importance of blending accuracy with speed. There are different finishing stations depending on the items being worked on. There is the “pant” station, which includes the pressing of shorts, skirts, and neckties; a “sweater” station that includes soft knits and heat-sensitive fibers; and a “silk” station where some silks, linens, and other hard-finish garments are pressed. There is also a station dedicated to pressing laundered dress shirts, pants with starch, and table covers. Each station requires a person to learn the basic operations of that station and the particulars of the items commonly pressed there. An expert finisher will not only know the basics of pressing but also be able to adapt to the challenges of properly finishing new fashion styles and fabrics as they appear seasonally and randomly.
