Co-founded in 2004 by Benny Mehta, the retail company, Clean N’ Brite, immediately became one of Harrisonburg’s premier retail dry cleaners after opening a 7000 sq. ft. dry cleaning and self-service laundromat. The business continued to grow and expand with the acquisition of two other companies. The first, a 400 sq. ft. facility that was expanded to a 2700 sq ft. drop store and self service laundromat. In 2005, Benny Mehta met all the criteria to earn the “Certified Professional Drycleaner” designation by the International Fabricare Institute (IFI). Clean N’ Brite then began offering restoration services and in 2007 Clean N’ Brite was awarded the Dry Cleaning and Laundry Institute’s (formerly IFI) Award of Excellence. Clean N’ Brite’s two stores and the main facility continue to offer full retail dry cleaning services and full and self service laundry as well as rug cleaning services.

Clean & Brite Restoration, now a FRSTeam Licensee - FRSTeam of Virginia, will be creating it’s own remarkable story. “With a national presence, we are ready to dominate our marketplace, through an expanded territory”, said Benny. “The values we have here are right in-line with a family oriented company like FRSTeam. This gives us an advantage, working with people who care about their customers, employees and community”. Courtney Nicholas, CEO of FRSTeam said, “With their commitment and focus on service and customer care, FRSTeam of Virginia is perfect for FRSTeam”.
