Restoration cleaning ( that is, cleaning clothes up after damage from fires, smoke or water ) is one of our greatest challenges here at Meurice.

We have a lot of emotional specialties here at Meurice. Partially because we like doing different work than everyone else, partially for the thrill of a challenge, but always because its more rewarding to tackle a garment that really means something to someone. Clothing damaged by smoke, fire or water is among the most difficult [...]
We see it all too often: handbags and purses that are filthy from being left on dirty floors. Not only do icky floors mar your fancy bag, but its also unhygienic to handle anything straight off the same surface your shoes trod. Enter the Purse Valet. These are really handy little portable hooks that easily slip into [...]
. Just received another thank you note in our Bronx office the other day. The note was for our office manager, Lorraine, and came from a client that had left a piece of jewelry on her cleaning. . . The text reads: ” Dear Lorraine, Thank you so much for returning my pin! Your company, [...]
Now that it finally looks like we may enjoy a complete week of temperatures over 70º, you’ve probably started to think about what to do with your heavy comforters, duvets and coverlets. . The bad news: That bedding isn’t going to fit in your miniature closet washer, and the oversized laundromat around the corner probably [...]

Yes, it’s that time again. Spring is in the air. The birds are chirping, the trees are blossuming, and it’s finally too warm outside to wear your Uggs any longer. Don’t put those shearling booties away, just yet, though. Chances are this winter they were exposed to some of the worst NYC has to offer [...]

I mean, the trees are budding, the birds are chirping, and I haven’t layered myself in Thinsulate for a reservoir jog in weeks. These last few [...]
