At 21 Brilliant Ave, Wash is more than a place to drop off your dry cleaning. It's a curated retail space featuring eco-friendly garment care products, sustainable home goods, and the kind of personal service that's becoming increasingly rare. Our fabric care experts are here to talk through any garment question you have — no appointment needed.
Joe and Sarah Ferrante opened this location because they believe Aspinwall deserved a business that was as invested in the community as the community is in its businesses. Stop in. Say hello. Let the dog get a drink. That's what we're here for.
Joe and Sarah Ferrante are Fox Chapel area residents raising their family here. Their children attend school in the Fox Chapel Area School District. When they chose 21 Brilliant Ave for the Wash retail location, it wasn't a business decision — it was a community decision. Aspinwall is a special place, and they intend to be a worthy part of it for a long time.
