This program is a marketing network for insurance adjusters to send their business.
The program does have quality standards, and all members meet those, but there is only one cleaner in a territory.
I write dry cleaners all over the state of Michigan. There are MANY cleaners who do a fine job at fire restoration but only one in the state is a member of CRDN because this is their territory. (they are also the founders of this program and yes they do a good job)
The CRDN is just a network based out of michigan.
There are alot of good independent drycleaners though out the country. Dry cleaning for what it is in my mind is overcharged. Most of what people own can be laundered and not dry cleaned.
Evans is another good dry cleaning contractor that is going to go nationwide soon.
In my opinion, You have to look at the costs for the dry cleaning and get estimates upfront to see if the insureds want to clean or just cash it out. Too often drycleaners are over zelous in thier efforts to say they can clean that in the end they could not and the policy holder pays for it. What dose not clean should not be charged for, as is NOT always the case. Too often insureds get pressured into paying for the drycleaning upfront before it is delivered and when they get it back and the results are not good they demand the money back and its a fight that is seldom won for the policy holder.
If 100 items are taken out 95 better come back clean and in good order if not someone is not doing their job. Oh yea and dont forget the hidden monthly storage charges.
Crdn offers clean or free, meaning, if the garment cannot be cleaned, your not charged for it. The key is to get insurance companies educated, and letting them know that a lot of the textiles they are writing checks for to replace can be cleaned, which will reduce cost.
