04 · The honest part
What you won’t find in this book.
✕Not in this book: A quick answer based on a fiber name alone.
I show you how to look at the label, structure, trim, and condition of the finished garment.
✕Not in this book: A claim that home washing is right for every washable-looking garment.
I show you how to pause when dye, shape, trim, or construction is uncertain.
✕Not in this book: A promise that every mark, odor, or old problem can be removed.
I show you how to document the condition and ask what is realistic before work is approved.
✕Not in this book: A reason to keep adding home treatments when a cleaner is the plan.
I show you how to stop, record what happened, and make the handoff clear.

05 · Who wrote it
From the counter and spotting board
Mrs. Han is 73 and lives in Greensboro, North Carolina. She came to the United States from Korea as a young woman and spent 41 years at a neighborhood dry cleaner, working the customer counter and the spotting board before she retired.
For years she heard the part customers remembered after a garment came in: what happened, when it happened, what had already been tried, and whether the piece had been stored away first. She learned that a clear story and a careful first look can matter before anyone handles a good coat, dress, suit or family linen.
Her book is about giving good clothes a fair second look: inspection, simple notes, storage choices, and knowing what to tell a cleaner when you hand something over.
