Oceanside Cleaners became the first North American company to receive the CINET 2020 Global Best Business Practices Award for Retail Dry Cleaners.
CINET, an international umbrella association of the professional textile care industry, sponsors the annual awards as a way to highlight industry best practices and demonstrate the textile care industry’s capabilities and focus on a high standard of quality, new business services, innovation, and sustainability.
Oceanside has served the Jacksonville area for 30 years and employs 81 people.
The company prides itself on its commitment to what it calls its “CARE” mission statement: “C=Customer-Centric, A=Attention to Details, R=Respect the Community, and E=Empower One Another.
” The company also has committed to emission reduction, recycling, and other eco-friendly innovations.
The company, after winning this prestigious award, said, “Our quality control approach focuses heavily on creating a healthy work culture and well-trained team, which in turn drives high-quality control for our customers. Every garment that comes into our facility, for example, is handled by 13 separate employees, with an awareness of quality control at every stage. At any time, all employees are empowered to send a garment to another department if it needs attention, whether for spotting, alterations, or pressing.
