My Dirty Little Secret
Several months ago when I showed up at my mom's one morning, there was a peculiar little green bag hanging on her door. When I asked about the contents, my mom laughed, not wanting to tell me her secret. They have their dry cleaning picked up and delivered to their home each week. I laughed, thinking, High Maintenance. Expensive! Unnecessary. Time passed and our dry clean pile just kept growing and I found out the price for 1-800-Dry Clean is barely more than the cheap-o place I normally take things to and the quality is much better. So last weekend, we tried it out. They picked up 13 shirts, 7 pants and a suit (I told you the pile grew) on Saturday and returned it to our door today, Monday. There is no delivery fee or special charges and you get a 25% discount on the first time service. While we definitely don't need a regularly scheduled pick up, I will be utilizing them from now on. Jason's shirts, which are usually all we'll have done, are only $2 a piece. Not too shabby for front door service! If you dry clean stuff, you should check out 1-800-Dry-Clean.

SWEET!
or you can just not clean anything. that's my approach right now. look at me, saving money!
I'll have to remember that! I'm so bad, I still haven't had my wedding dress cleaned. (yikes!)
I don't think I own anything that's dry clean only. I don't know if that's a good thing. I think it just means I'm cheap:(
Wow - I love finding out things like that! But we have such few dry cleaning things... I'll have to find bargains in other places. =)
When I get something on my shirt, I let it dry. Then I scrape it off with my fingernail. That's as close to "dry cleaning" as my clothes get. I'll have to pass on the info to John though. :)
Hey, this was my secret, those are my clothes in those bags. I set this deal up. You are welcome.
i'll have to tell danny about that- he loves drycleaners & i refuse to iron:)!!
