Story

Pristine Fine Dry Cleaners is owned and operated by Tom and Lorrie Janick. Tom’s family has been deeply involved in the dry cleaning industry since 1956. In 1968 Tom's father Jack won the National Plant Design award in the American Dry Cleaner's annual plant design competition. He was innovative in integrating Time Motion Study into his plant design and employee motivation programs.

Today, Tom continues in those footsteps. He has served as the New Jersey representative for the Northeast Fabricare Association and has served as council member to the International Fabricare Institute Certification Council working on the development of testing and protocols for industry dry cleaners to become "Certified Environmental Cleaner", "Certified Wet Cleaner" and "Certified Professional Cleaner". He is proud of his efforts working with the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection Roundtable from 1988 - 2000. As a member of this roundtable he was involved in discussing ways the state could monitor compliance for perc drycleaners in New Jersey.

In 1999, Tom developed the entry for the Miele wet-cleaning system into the United States market. He created the wet-cleaning programs and training guides which are used throughout the US and Canada. He worked with chemical companies on products for wet-cleaning methods as well as finishing equipment companies in the development of tensioning equipment. He was instrumental in installing the first wet-cleaning system in California, where there are now over 75 dedicated wet-cleaning facilities in operation today. He has spoken at numerous national and local industry events on wet-cleaning. Tom visited and trained at over 150 plants in the US and Canada in the capacity of consultant.

In 2000, Tom and Lorrie began work with Hangers America, a CO2 technology cleaning franchise. Tom and Lorrie developed training programs for new franchisees including business plans, site and equipment selection, plant layout, start-up, employee development and systems training. In 2001 they served as lead trainers for all Hangers worldwide franchisees.

In 2006, Tom and Lorrie became the owners of Pristine Fine Dry Cleaners. Since then, Pristine has become Southwest Florida’s premiere choice for high-end custom cleaning. Pristine sets itself apart by catering to the unique needs of each customer and offering custom machine-free solutions for even the most delicate of pieces. Many of the cleaning techniques you’ll find at Pristine were actually developed by Tom himself, a product of his travels throughout the world and a lifetime spent working in the dry cleaning industry. Pristine Fine Dry Cleaning is a hidden jewel for clients around the country, who trust Pristine for their cleaning and restoration of couture clothing, accessories and dry cleaning needs.
