We are teaming up with San Antonio’s own great soccer team with our “CLEAN SHEET” promotion. In soccer, a CLEAN SHEET is a game when our Scorpions do not allow our opponent to score on us. Often referred to as a “shut out,” in soccer it is called a CLEAN SHEET. For those CLEAN SHEET home games, Five Star will award every fan in attendance a 50% discount on their next dry cleaning order….up to a $10 discount. Come on Scorpion fans. Let’s cheer our team to a Five Star Cleaners CLEAN SHEET!

Here is what Kim has to say about our Five Star Service:
 
Dear Five Star Cleaners:

 
You have been a life saver!!!!
 
We live in Dallas and had a very expensive fabric purse that had been stained with an ink pen. I took it to two dry cleaners and leather shop in University Park/Dallas and they all told me it could probably not be cleaned. However, over Thanksgiving weekend, a friend agreed to take it to Five Star Cleaners in San Antonio. Donovan and your fine staff miraculously cleaned it to near perfection.
 
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
 
Kim M.
