Dry Cleaning: Everything you wanted to know

We all know where to find the local dry cleaner. At least those of us who have to dress up for a living do.  But do we really know just what it is that goes on behind those doors? Do we really want to know? And if we did know…could we even handle The Truth?… Continue reading Dry Cleaning: Everything you wanted to know

Don’t let competition’s website outshine you

This question came from the owner of a well-established dry cleaning store. I learned that referrals provide new customers. Successfully taking on difficult cleaning tasks has built their reputation. They also do expert alterations.

Dry Cleaning. Give your clothes a second life.

Take clothing sales, for example. In the second quarter of 2009, the TJX Companies (the parent of discounters Marshalls and T.J. Maxx) reported a rise in both sales and profits. On the other hand, Saks, the parent of Saks Fifth Avenue, slid down in both categories. So as you can see, all those belts are now getting tightened around much more affordable pants.

Service, Service, Service!!!

From the personal tailor in the luxurious department store to the hand-delivered, ice-cold gallon of milk on your front porch, it’s those special personalized touches that are often lacking in today’s hectic, need-it-now… Continue reading Service, Service, Service!!!

Cleaning and Preserving Your Wedding Dresses

First off, be sure to save the bag your dress came in to protect it en route to the dry cleaner. As soon as you can after your wedding, bring the protected dress to the dry cleaner you’ve selected, or have a friend or family member drop it off while you enjoy your honeymoon (the better option, if you can trust them).

Caring for your Designer Duds

Generally, the best rule of thumb when caring for your designer or custom-made clothing is to always follow the care instructions on the label.

Others will magically shrink and shift shape if you tumble dry them. Pay close attention to the label. And follow it to the letter.
