Washington Cleaners and Launderers. Washington was a full service cleaner with a main dry cleaning and laundry plant in Tacoma plus seven branches to serve military personnel at Fort Lewis. The four women in the picture are giving these clothes that smart crease with a commercial pressing machine. The clothing item is laid out on the bottom form; the top is pulled down, pressing and steaming the item between the two forms. Washington Cleaners termed their cleaning technique "Fabri-Sheen."
