There is an extravaganza of cleanliness to be found just behind an unmarked door in a corner of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
This is the home of Kingbridge’s massive new cleaning facility, which opened in January 2020.
It’s where a fastidious, highly labor-intensive process takes place, one Mr. Aviles believes is necessary for clothing to be cleaned properly.
He offered customers hot chocolate in the winter and lemonade in the summer, and soon learned to press shirts himself.
They then tuck them into a massive wet or dry cleaning machine, or hand-clean them if the situation is dire.
