Thank you for your business!

I hope to hear from you again soon.

Sorry to always make you come out this far.

Not at all! I'm more than happy to.

Well then, please excuse me.

I'll be with you in a moment.

Kinme-san, it must be so hard for you working alone.

No, not at all.

I can manage the amount of business I get now.

But when pickups and deliveries pile up on the weekend, like today,

things can get just a little busy.

Thank you for your patience.

Please allow me to inspect your garments.

I got that stain about a week ago. I tried scrubbing, but it wouldn't come out.

So this is a week old?

Can you tell me what caused the stain?

It was a pasta sauce with tomatoes.

Do you think the stain will come out?

You can count on Kinme.

I'll leave you to it, then.

All right!

Welcome!

Okay, let me guess.

Huh?

I'd bet you're in the mood

to eat something sweet!

Oh!

Thank you so much, Yagara-san!

This is just what I needed!

My husband picked them up on a business trip.

I'll make tea, so will you join me?

No, no. I have to head straight back.

Okay, let me grab your garments for you.

Did you ride your bicycle here again?

Hmm? Sure did.

That's really impressive, considering all the hills.

Thank You for Choosing Us Kinme Cleaning

Thanks for saying so. I'm bikin' around Atami and buildin' muscle!

A suit jacket with pants and five dress shirts. Does that sound right?

Mm-hmm! Thanks.

Oh, right. Listen to what my husband said.

He told me that ever since we've started coming here,

his suits have gotten much more comfortable to wear.

Huh? I'm so glad! I wash all shirts and suits in water here.

Oh? Don't you have to dry clean suits?

Dry cleaning is definitely more common.

This is, well, something of a trade secret...

Oh?

I put each piece in a double mesh laundry bag and wash them separately in cold water.

Then I hang them to dry overnight.

The next morning, a very quick spin in the dryer.

As soon as the fabric starts to fluff up,

I give them a very thorough ironing.

Front and back, straightening out the seams, very, very carefully.

So it should make them very comfortable!

No kidding.

You sure do love doing laundry, don't you?

Yes, I think I do!

It is the one thing I didn't forget, after all.

I'll see you around, Kinme-san!

Thank you very much!

Oh, look at the time.

Good evening.

Thanks for your help today.

I was able to remove the stain on your blouse.

You were? That's actually one of my favorites.

Thank you, dear!

Of course!

Be sure to turn off the hot water

Well, I'm off. Have a good night.

Oh, it's Kinme-san.

G'morning! You sure are up early.

Do you have the day off?

Ah, no. A little exercise before opening helps me wake up.

You don't say. So you're all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed now?

Well, I'm still not much of a morning person.

I never would have guessed. You always seem to have your act together.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you mean it?

Aww, look at you. There, there.

Well, I should get going. See you later!

Yeah.

I wonder if that's the innkeeper's son.

I think he's supposed to be in high school.

How responsible of him to be helping so early.

Oh! I'd better head back.

Here we go!

Good morning, Poly-chan.

Welcome.

Another busy day.

Let's get to it!

Come on in!

Kinme-san, I've brought some more things for you today.

Sure! Let me see what we have here.

Oh. Didn't you bring me this one before?

Yes, just once.

I think I remember the fabric.

Orders will be ready

on the 16th

Kinme-san, I'm here to pick up the item I left.

Come on in. May I see your receipt?

Sure.

Is this the right one?

Yes.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Thank you very much!

Hello, this is Kinme Cleaning.

A pickup at 4 PM tomorrow?

Yes, that's fine.

Welcome.

Come on in!

Aji-san!

I was actually just about to pay you a visit

to bring you this month's rent and pick up your garments.

Gad, no! I can't have you trying to spoil me like that.

But it must be difficult for you to go up and down all these hills.

Same for you, right?

Well, that's true.

Oh, before I forget.

May Rent

Here's the rent. Thank you very much.

Yup. And thank you too.

Time sure flies, doesn't it? You've already been here two years.

Yes. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

I ain't done a thing.

Oh, a customer brought me some sweets. Would you like to stay for tea?

Oh, really? Don't mind if I do.

Great!

It's starting to rain.

The weather was so nice today, too.

Come on in!

Oh... Hello!

Here.

Um, for cleaning?

Um...

Ah, right! Please let me check your garments, okay?

Would you happen to have a membership card?

One sec.

I've got my mother's.

Oh, of course. From Ishimochi-san.

Are you running errands for your mother today?

Yeah, she seems kind of busy.

Huh. You don't say.

Oh. It looks like this has some loose threads.

Would you mind confirming with me?

Yeah.

Uh... what's up?

N-Nothing.

Um, is something wro—

Huh?

Excuse me!

U-Um...

Sandpaper?

Can you tell me how you got this scratch?

Huh? Oh, probably from a concrete wall.

You must have scraped it.

Yeah.

This will only take a minute.

Okay.

Cleaning License Certificate Registered in Shizuoka Prefecture - Kinme Wakana

It's just a quick fix, but at least it covered up the scratch a little.

Crazy! But I thought you did laundry!

Well, yes. But this is still a time-honored cleaning technique.

After buffing the scratch with sandpaper,

I covered it up with a color-correcting polish. And that's it!

Color-correcting polish...

In addition to clothing, of course we can clean shoes here,

but we also do cloth and leather bags as well as various personal items.

I put my heart and soul into cleaning anything I'm asked to.

Oh! I'm so sorry!

It's just, just... the scratch on your shoe bothered me so much...

and you didn't even ask me to!

Oh, I've gone and done it again!

Of course, I won't charge you for that,

and if you aren't satisfied, I'll happily reimburse you for it!

No, it's fine.

Here is your receipt.

I washed it but it still isn't clean! Well... that's because of a mismatch between the kind of stain and your type of cleaning! At Kinme Cleaning, we use washing methods tailored to the exact type of cleaning you need.

Thank you very much.

It seems to be raining heavier now.

Um, I'm happy to lend you this umbrella, if you'd like.

I wouldn't want your shoes getting too wet.

Thank you very much.

I hope to see you again soon.

Um...

Do you think you could clean my school bag for me sometime?

Sure! You can count on Kinme.

I used to think cleaners were all basically the same,

We Come to You! Kinme Cleaning Contact us anytime

but I think I'm starting to understand why Mom switched to this place recently.

Quick Memo

Kinme's Quick Memo!

Come on in!

Pleased to meet you. My name is Kinme Wakana.

I'd like to share my day-to-day schedule with you and show you the layout of the shop!

Kinme-san's Usual Day (Weekday Example)

My usual day begins with an early-morning jog.

I'm really not a morning person,

Wake Up Jog

but a jog along the ocean with all that beautiful scenery wakes me right up.

Shower & Breakfast

When I get back, I start getting ready for the day's work.

Get Ready to Open

Open Store Iron clothes left hanging from the day before See customers (I get many customers in the morning, so things can get busy)

I usually spend my mornings ironing and helping customers.

After a lunch break, I see more customers, treat stains, wash clothes,

Break Time Grocery Shopping I often buy lunch at the bread shop

and then dry or hang up the cleaned garments.

Sort collected garments Treat stains and run several wash loads Air dry/hang washed garments in the shade (from overnight to 2 days)

Between my other tasks, I also make deliveries.

Other cleaners might do their morning and afternoon routines the other way around.

When I'm done with work, I go to the hot spring for a relaxing bath.

See customers (things get somewhat quieter toward evening) Make deliveries between other tasks

That can become difficult during the busy season, though.

Close shop Relax at a nearby public bath or hot spring Dinner Balance the register

And then I go to bed at about 10 PM. That's how I spend my days.

Sleep

Next, I'll show you the layout of the shop.

When you walk in, my goldfish, Poly-chan, is right there to greet you!

I keep garments that I'm holding for customers by the counter.

The ironing board is by the window and I have a desk for stain removal in the back

by the washer and dryer.

Go even further back and there's a door to the backyard,

a staircase going up to the second floor, and even a break room.

So now you know a bit more about my daily schedule and the layout of Kinme Cleaning.

We at Kinme Cleaning look forward to continue serving you in the future!
