You’ll never forget when you laid your fave sequin skirt to rest—you had know idea an iron could melt those sparkly discs.
Here are tips for loving your labels, along with today’s Treat: $10 for $25 worth of eco-friendly drycleaning at Clothesline Cleaners, who local fashionistas trust with their most coveted garments. The Today Show, NBC Nightly News and even Rick Perry has called out the beloved biz for their earth-friendly practices, like a computerized “wet-cleaning process” perfect for designer duds.
1 } Club soda doesn’t remove red wine stains—it just makes a spritzer. Leave a spill like that to the professionals.
2 } Remove belts and other add-ons before taking in a garment to be cleaned. After all, the whole reason you bought that Tory trench was for the fab gold T buckle, and you don’t want it to get lost in transit.
3 } Those jeans you spent a week’s pay on might never fit the same after you wash or professionally launder them. One alternative? Gap’s indigo gurus suggest freezing them.
4 } No more wire hangers! Don’t trash them, bring them back to Clothesline, who covers them with recycled newspaper before reusing them.
Take care of your sassy spring neons, and snag our Treat at local Clothesline Cleaners—$10 for $25 worth of eco-friendly drycleaning at any of their 5 locations.
