Keeping up with laundry takes a lot of work. Even worse is finally tackling that mountain of laundry only to discover mysterious stains that won’t come out. And what about the expensive, delicate items that many of us are afraid of ruining if we don’t tackle the stain properly?
This is when sending clothes to the cleaners comes in handy. Here are a few situations when opting for dry cleaning over doing it yourself is the way to go:
Heavy Stains
Sometimes, it’s just not worth the hours you may spend trying different homemade stain removers when professionals have much more powerful, commercial-grade chemicals at their disposal. They’ll be able to get out even the most stubborn of stains, so your clothes will look like new again.
Delicate Fabrics
From silk and cashmere to wool suits and lace dresses, some fabrics are just too delicate and expensive to risk throwing in the washing machine yourself. The agitation and high heat can cause pilling, shrinkage or other damage. Let the dry cleaners handle washing your lovely fabrics by hand, so they last for many more years to come.
Formalwear
Do you have an important event, like a wedding or job interview, coming up and need your suit, dress, or outfit to look pristine? Dry cleaners are true experts at getting out even tiny lint and pet hair to achieve a showroom level of freshness. For those special occasions, trust the cleaner to make your formal clothes look their very best.
Odours
Has something with a strong smell, like gym clothes or smoker’s clothing, accumulated odours even after multiple washes? The residue of stubborn odours can sometimes linger in fabrics no matter how often you re-wash them at home. Dry cleaners use specialized solvents that can remove even the most noxious odours, so your clothes are completely fresh-smelling once more.
Speed
Sometimes, you need something cleaned ASAP for an unexpected event and more time for a standard laundry cycle. While home washers and dryers take hours, most cleaners can have a small load or two items cleaned and ready within 24 hours so that you can wear something clean on short notice. Their fast turnaround times can get you out of a pinch.
Maintenance
Does one of your financial or winter coats seem a little dingy after months of wear, but it’s still in great shape otherwise? Send it to the cleaners for a refresh cleaning as routine maintenance to freshen it up and extend the life of your more heavily used or expensive clothes. Cleaners can fluff fibres, remove accumulated dust and grime, and make well-worn garments look nearly new after a good cleaning.
