The Top Services You Forgot Your Dry Cleaners Can Provide

Some people hate going to the dry cleaner like they do going to the doctor, dentist, or mechanic.  It’s just one of those things!  It is out of the way.  It’s expensive.  You aren’t sure if it’s worth the hassle.

Trust this advice from those who have it all together in life:  A trip to the dry cleaner is ALWAYS worth it!

People go to the dry cleaner for a variety of reasons.  For example, they may have a collection of dry clean only clothes.  Try as we may to avoid odors, stains, and other soils on our clothes, they are inevitable.  When stains and tears do occur, we have three choices – wear it as it is (that’s gross), throw it out (that’s wasteful), or take it to a dry cleaner (that’s a great idea!).  When we look at it that way, you may find yourself admitting that the dry cleaner is the way to go.

Often, people forget that a trip to the cleaner can really pay off in more ways than one.  It isn’t JUST dry cleaning that these places offer.  They can do so much more!

Here are some services to consider when making your way over to the dry cleaner after weeks (months? years?) of putting it off.

1. Hem Pants: Sometimes kids grow!  Imagine buying your son a new suit, and a few months later, he’s suddenly two inches taller.  A whole new suit? Forget it! Just take the suit in for the pants to be adjusted by a tailor.
2. Dress Alterations: Sometimes we buy dresses when we are one size and by time the moment to wear it rolls around, we are different size.  No judgement if you’re bigger, smaller, or somehow taller – just run that dress to the cleaner for some last-minute dress alterations.
3. Same Day Alterations: You never know when disaster will strike!  The right moment for alterations is right now when there’s an emergency.  If you need some emergency same day alterations, a dry cleaner may be able to help!
4. Hem Jackets: People invest a lot in a nice jacket.  They aren’t something that people purchase just to use once (at least we hope not!).  If your jacket doesn’t fit like it used to, it may need alterations.  Don’t forget to get it cleaned, too!
5. Wedding Dress Alterations: I hear wedding bells!  If walking down the aisle is something you’ll be doing in the near future, then you have wedding dress alterations (and all things bridal) on your mind.  Head to the dry cleaner for wedding dress alterations.  You may even save a few bucks in the process.
