masks had become"so hard to find that health-care workers are reusing theirs multiple days in a row."
Whang's stores got into the mask business the same way many other cleaners did: A seamstress made some and put them up for sale. The masks soon became popular with customers and other employees. Whang says making them"became a competition," with workers turning out new designs, as well as reversible patterns.
"It's the ones who have tailors and it's the ones who are bigger," says Ann Hargrove, the director of special events for the National Cleaners Association, a New York-based trade group for dry cleaners. "People who come into this cleaners come to this cleaners. We have people who have been loyal customers forever," he says.
