Quote: "I didn't have a clue about what's involved, what equipment was required, what the best soaps, solvents and deodorizers were." -- Rossman, explaining why he bought a FRSTeam franchise when he decided to get into the fabric restoration business after retail dry-cleaning sales began to decline.
