Whether or not you realize it,
there’s something about the
“feel” and fresh smell of clean
clothes that instantly makes a
favorable impression for the
wearer. By keeping your ward

you will bring out one more
likeable quality in yourself.
Pantorium cleaning is not
only free of “cleaner's odor”
but eliminates the body odors
and marks that are inevitable
in the sultry summer months.
