How To Find Good Dry Cleaning Shops

By Carl Banbridge


Many people forget what having a good dry cleaning shop can do for their household. You can do much more than take your suits or other fine dress clothes in. From bedding, to curtains and other tapestries, it is good to have them cleaned and pressed in a way that does not damage their colouring. Some of your clothing may be the same way, so check the labels for best care instructions. It can make certain items last longer with more vivid color.

One of the main reasons to use a professional is to protect delicate materials and colours. Most home cleaning will wash away color if not careful. Many professionals can perform work in around 2 days. Other larger items like curtains or bedding may take longer.

Check in your mail, coupons, or newspaper for advertising of local establishments. You can use coupons or other savings to help on your weekly needs and to try out places as well. Some things are a bit more expensive to process, so extra savings there is worth it.

Some dry cleaners have really early morning hours but close earlier in the evening. Take that into consideration when finding a location. If you have odd work hours, you might need to drop things off on a weekend or have someone do it for you.

Some shops have a rewards or loyalty program with a discount card. Based on visits you can get discounts. Look for quantity or frequent visitor discounts and plan your purchases out to maximize your savings.

For those in an emergency, go to your local grocery store and look at their dry cleaning kits. These are for use in a dryer and not on a professional level. This can however get you through a day until you have a chance to take them to your regular cleaners.
