New R&T Cleaners opens in old spot

Sparks resident Norm Davis has purchased and opened The New R&T Cleaners where the old R&T Cleaners was located in Gardnerville.

"We are pleased to continue to employ the same local staff that is familiar to the many R&T customers," Davis said in a press release.

Davis owns Peerless Cleaners of Reno, a five-store, home and office pick up/delivery service specializing in environmentally-friendly dry cleaning.

"The New R&T Cleaners no longer processes dry cleaned garments using perchlorethylene, also known as 'Perc,'" said Davis. "All dry cleaned garments are now processed using the latest in non-hazardous, non-toxic dry cleaning technology."
