Jeeves’ True Colors Exposed

Your man Jeeves does not have to regularly take sides during sporting events, for he by nature supports his hometown team. This has presented a slight issue over the past few weeks as one of the first matches of the 2010 Fifa World Cup was between England and the United States. Jeeves was not himself during the 90 minutes of official play as he desperately wanted to support both teams, but knew that other futbol fans frown upon this. Fortunately the match ended in a draw so Jeeves did not have to endure the stress much longer.

Jeeves’ storefronts have been proudly displaying their support of the English team with custom made Jersey’s adorning the windows and the slogan ” In the spirit of 19.66″ as a promotion during the world cup . Sadly, the 1966 signifies the last and only time England won the World Cup.

Although England entered the tournament with questions as to whether the group of superstars from their Premier League teams could come together as one. Disappointing draws with lower ranked teams left them in a position where they needed to win their last match to advance. Their 1-0 victory over Slovenia sent them into the round of sixteen looking to improve on what has been mostly lackluster play. Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney is still trying to break into his goal scoring form for his national team.  Jeeves is still hopeful that perhaps 2010 is the year for England to regain the title of World Champions.

While Jeeves is much more familiar with the English team he has still been following the U.S. team just as much. The US team has played through incredible adversity throughout their group matches, and now heads into their match against Ghana with momentum. Jeeves fears that they will need it as Ghana was the team to send the US home early from the 2006 World Cup.

Your man Jeeves is saddened that he does not have a customized Jersey to sport during the matches, however he is fortunate that both teams share similar colors.

Look out for Jeeves tomorrow as he will not be working, and instead will be nestled in the back of a pub cheering on the US.

Spa Emergency at the Surrey Hotel

About this time last week your man Jeeves received a panicked call from Cheryl Jacobs, the spa director at The Surrey Hotel, a luxurious place not far from Jeeves.

As Jeeves spoke with Ms. Jacobs he learned of the sprinkler malfunction that had occurred within one of the private massage rooms at the spa dousing everything inside with rust stained water. Ms. Jacobs continued on to explain that this room is the main couples massage room within their magnificent spa, and the urgency in resolving this mess.

Lucky for The Surrey Hotel and Ms. Jacobs your man Jeeves dispatched his on-site team immediately to collect all the damaged pieces  for cleaning.

When Jeeves’ onsite team arrived at The Surrey Hotel they removed four pieces, two blinds and two drapes from the spa and drove straight to our production facility to begin work on this project.

Your man Jeeves had multiple members of his on-site team working on this project. Jeeves himself spent five hours alone working to remove all the rust from an ultra suede blind.  All four pieces were returned to their original condition and reinstalled back in the spa on Tuesday morning.

Thanks to the expedient work Jeeves and his team performed Ms. Jacobs only had to operate the spa for three days without the use of the private room affected by the water damage.

As you can see Jeeves’ on-site team will travel to you anywhere and at a moment’s notice all you have to do is give us a ring and we will repair any damage your home textiles may incur.

For all home cleaning needs in New York City , just call your man Jeeves and allow him and his onsite team to care for the rest. If you would like to be out of your home while we tend to cleaning you can always make an appointment with Cheryl Jacobs for a lovely experience at the spa at The Surrey Hotel.

    How to Keep Colors Vibrant in New York City

    What a gorgeous March day for all of New York to gather and attend the annual St. Patrick’s day parade. Although your man Jeeves has been hard at work all day long, he can hear the crowds through the open shop door.

    Jeeves was surprised to learn that the parade tradition did not originate in another cross Atlantic country, but rather right here in New York City. Every hue of green that has whizzed past the store today have been so vibrant in the sun you would think they were almost found in nature.

    Your man Jeeves does not care much for the color green as he believes it to not be particularly flattering, however he does sport some other eye catching shades that are kept nice and vibrant by Jeeves’ ECO2 Cleanse system. The chemical free nature of the process does not expose the dyes to damaging components that cause colors to fade. If you have not tried Jeeves’ ECO2 Cleanse system , you should give it a try now just in time for Spring and Summer when colors will be everywhere!

    In addition to  using ECO2 Cleanse your man Jeeves has a few more suggestions to help you keep your clothes fresh and bright:

    • Follow Care Labels exactly, if it says ” wash cold” WASH COLD!
    • Don’t store in bright light this will cause colors to fade
    • Be careful with cosmetics, perfumes, and deodorants! Some will cause bright colors to become faded or discolored. Try to remember to apply all of these a few minutes before dressing

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Jeeves!

    Rabbit Air, the best air purfication system

    Since your man Jeeves is the ONLY luxury dry cleaning firm in New York City to offer non-toxic, chemical free dry cleaning, we wanted to share this with you.  Since regular dry cleaning may affect air quality you may need this to preserve the air quality in your home.

    From our friend Peachy Deegan of “Whom You Know“….

    Rabbit Air

    In our 2,600 plus posts, we have recommended many things.  You may or may not agree that the crab cakes at The Boathouse are as outstanding as we say, or think skin care is important as we do.  You may not think our adherence to the code of prep is commendable.  You may not even like Manhattan.  However, you cannot disagree with this: we all need clean air and air quality is measurable.    Rabbit Air makes the best air purifiers that we have experienced. We LOVE Rabbit Air.

    We first told you Rabbit Air is good for killing germs for Sick Peachy Feel Better, then we told you it is good for the environment in Earthy Peachy.  We love it and now that we have it, we would not be without it.  Other air cleaners we have seen are not nearly at this high performance level.  We have been using it for a week, and we notice a big difference when we wake up in the morning if it has been on or not.  Everyone is stuffy in this weather, but not Peachy Deegan: she uses Rabbit Air.  She even stopped taking Sudafed.  We notice how if we burn a candle the Rabbit Air picks that up.  We notice if we burn something on the stove it notices (come on, you do not see a Chef Peachy here do you!).   Even when we open our door and step in the hallway we notice the air quality is just NOT as good.  We really don’t want to go outside now.

    This is a machine that cleans the air like a performance auto goes from zero to 60 (or 80) in 5 seconds.  It is easy to assemble: you unwrap the filter parts from the packaging, reassemble it, and turn it on.  This air purifier even has mood lighting (blue, purple, light purple, pink).  We tested Model No. SPA-780A and we highly recommend it.  It is absolutely stunning in white.  We recommend all the designers get it in the tents for Fashion Week…

    The filtration is serious; there are seven different sections that you will become familiar with during the unwrapping: Negative Ions, Filter Case, Nano-Silver Pre-Filter, Anti-Bacterial Medium Filter, BioGS HEPA Filter, Customized Filters (Toxin Absorber, Germ Defense or Pet Allergy) and Charcoal Based Activated Carbon Filter.

    So, we highly recommend Rabbit Air.  ESPECIALLY for our Manhattan readers.  Let’s face it, as great as Manhattan is, it certainly could have better air, especially the part by New Jersey.  Every time Peachy Deegan leaves Manhattan, people she visits in the suburbs or country, north or south, make disparaging comments on how happy she must be to be in fresh air….well they can not make that comment again!  If you have Rabbit Air, you have fresh air, even in Manhattan.  We only wish Mayor Bloomberg could get a Rabbit Air big enough for the whole city!  Be a smart bunny and order yours now:
