I’m an entrepreneur and garment care, retail, and fashion expert in New York City. In over thirty years in this industry, I’ve developed a national reputation for pioneering the use of new dry cleaning technology, delivering unparalleled customer service and forging a highly effective, hands-on management style. I’m proud to have transformed my family’s business, Meurice Garment Care, from what was largely a neighborhood dry cleaner to a wardrobe and interior cleaning service with clients across the globe. I’ve honed expertise in each aspect of our operation, from sales and marketing to installing and repairing equipment. At Meurice, we specialize in customers who value service over bargain pricing. Frequently, we handle delicate, one-of-a-kind pieces for fashion houses, high-end retailers and even museums and private collectors. We built our name through a relentless drive to clean anything – the only piece we’ve refused to process was an actual shrunken human head. My cleaning lab and testing led the New York Times to dub me the “Stainmaster.” Aside from my knowledge of cleaning, I’ve worked in commercial real estate here in New York – experience that’s evident in the contemporary, customer-oriented feel of our retail shops. After becoming frustrated with the service typical for most dry cleaning customers, I’ve worked to cultivate stores with representatives as focused and dedicated as a hotel concierge. In addition to my efforts improving our cleaning and retail experience, I’m passionate about education on proper garment care and stain treatment techniques. I’ve demonstrated what it takes to maximize a clothing investment with the CBS Early Show, Martha Stewart Television and Inside Edition. Specialties: Wedding gown cleaning, alterations and preservation. Vintage and insurance cleaning, leather and suede work. Pocketbook, handbag, shoes and other accessories.
