- Linda  Maresca gave a presentation about White Way Cleaners pick-up delivery service. The service includes homes, apartment complexes, large corporations and office buildings. White Way success comes from making it easy for customers to use their service. They will set up a convenient pick up and drop off that makes it almost irristible for a building owner, company or home owner to refuse. Companies see this as a value added service for their employees and tenants and home owners find the convenience a real time saver. White Way Delivers.
