He was a short bald man who was the only dry cleaner in OlKalou. His shop was a small wooden building at the site of the current market.
Mwangi rarely did his work inside the shop. He was always outside, doing some ironing unless it was raining. I do not know how he did his dry cleaning, but we could smell the cleaning chemicals every time we picked up our fathers suits.
Mwangi did his ironing with the charcoal iron box. That is what makes me wonder how he handled the rest of the operation, but my father remained his loyal customer for years and his suits were always perfectly done.
