We just try to keep his name off the channel when he was younger, you know, so we just call him Neighbor Kid.
But, yeah, it's just now people call it Cowboy Starch.
Yeah, so we don't put it in a spray bottle.
Actually, the way our systems work, we've got a big boiler.
starch cooker is what we call it but basically it just injects steam into it boils the water and you put the cornstarch in there it cooks it and then it injects it into the final rinse cycle of your oh okay so when when your blue jeans you know we've got a washing machine it's got 20 pairs of blue jeans in it the final rinse cycle it's injected liquid starch in there that we've cooked over there and it just
rinses your clothes in starch, and then when they come out, they go on to what we call hotheads, which you take your blue jeans wet, lay them on there, and you press them.
The press dries them and presses them at the same time, and then they come out.
I mean, obviously, if you never get dirty, I mean, but after... If I'm going to wear calves, I'm not going to wear them to church the next day, so...
I mean, we've got guys.
So in our cleaning business, we put what we call a heat seal on every garment that comes in basically.
It identifies who it belongs to, what kind of starts they like, but it also is a serial number for that item, so it tracks how many times it's been to the cleaners.
It's a maintenance item for me because if somebody comes in and says, hey, I brought this blue shirt in, it's brand new, and you ruined it, and I pull it up and it's 15 years old and it's been here 68 times, I'm going to say, hey, John, you know,
I'm probably not going to buy you a brand-new shirt for this one.
I mean, it has a life expectancy.
I mean, you've used that up.
But so with that, we track everything.
And, you know, I've got guys that have been bringing blue jeans every week that have been there for 10 years, and they've been cleaned 50 times a year, you know, and I don't think it breaks down the denim.
I think it's different, like, where we're from.
You know, like you guys, I noticed, don't have a crease down your sleeve.
