Cavalier Cleaners

I put in work on my suits. Literally! They have the thankless job of covering my gigantic frame while also making me look quite dashing; a feat which is not as simple as it sounds (although I am quite dashing, so maybe it’s not that hard). Normally, by the time I make it to the cleaners my clothes are beat the hell up and stained with sweat, dirt, and whatever meal I attempted to devour at my desk while banging out the most recent «urgent I have a request that absolutely can’t wait another second although I won’t acknowledge or follow up for several weeks at which point it will be urgent again» email of the day. Luckily for me, Cavalier Cleaners always comes through in the clutch.
Cavalier Cleaners is located at the corner of Kirby and Poplar in the same shopping center as the original One and Only location. In fact, I have, on numerous occasions, gone straight from slopping BBQ in my mouth to dropping off a shirt at Cavalier that looks like I may have recently been skinning a medium sized mammal. The sweet older ladies in the store never bat an eye. By now they know me as the «Honey, you sure are messy» guy.
The store is decidedly low tech. Like computers? Tough! They ring you up using an ADDING MACHINE. No joke. But while they may lack the technological advances of a bigger chain, they know how to clean you clothes. My clothes never come back in any other condition except pristine. As a former military member, I also appreciate that they will crease my sleeves and put medium starch (right between uncooked bacon and canvas sail strength; it’s a really, really fine balance) on my clothes for no additional charge. Skip the travesty and expensive hellhole that is Bensinger’s and go to Cavalier right across the street. Your wallet and your sensitive nipples (TMI?) will thank me.
