Jacob Scherer has owned Monroe One Hour Cleaners Inc. for a year, but he's no stranger to the dry cleaning business.

Scherer worked for former owner Tom Koeller for 32 of the 33 years Koeller owned the business, located at the corner of Ninth Street and 16th Avenue.

He started while in high school, vacuuming, cleaning and making hangers. After a couple years, he moved up to pressing clothes.

As the only dry cleaner in Green County, Scherer stays busy, with Mondays and Tuesdays being the most hectic. Scherer says he tries to get cleaning done in an hour as much as possible.
