In 1949, Buffalo, New York chemist Henry Martin revolutionized the industry by introducing the concept of on-premise dry cleaning using a newly developed, non-flammable chemical. Previously, it was standard for dry cleaning stores to be used only for pick-up of orders. The actual dry cleaning was done only in industrial areas because of the high flammability of the petroleum solvent used to clean garments. Martinizing continues to be the leader in the industry by offering consumers a wide variety services in its stores around the world. Some of these services include on-premise shirt laundries, comforter/bedspread and household item cleaning, 24/7 VIP drop-offs, VIP membership discounts, home pick-up and delivery and other services for the discerning consumer.
