The Drycleaning and Laundry Institute awarded Wagner's European Fabricare with the 2015 Award of Excellence in quality Cleaning and Customer Service. Wagner's has received the award five times since 2005 when the program began.
The Award of Excellence is the premier recognition program for professional members of the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute. To achieve the award, Wagner's must prove it meets rigorous, objective standards in cleaning and service.
Most importantly, the company must clean and return a specialized cleaning performance evaluation to prove its cleaning quality is among the best. In addition, the company must successfully remove six common, but difficult, stains on a silk swatch and return it for evaluation. Continuing education for staff and adherence to a set of customer service principles round out the requirements.
Founded in 1841, Wagner's has two locations in Delta.
