- justinator 4y agoGood thing we don't use toluene in dry cleaning then!
- LeifCarrotson 4y agoWho still uses a dry cleaner?
- thaneross 4y agoI dry clean my suits. I thought that was the only way to clean them... am I missing something?
- luckman212 4y agoWhat are you supposed to do with clothes that say "dry clean only"? Why are there still like 2 dry cleaners per every square city block in NYC? Are these just money laundering operations?
- optymizer 4y agoI'm not spending time to wash, dry and iron 30 shirts. I'd rather pay $70 at the dry cleaners, once in a while. Now that cancerogenic substance is an interesting topic. I'll have to ask about it the next time I go there.
- ipaddr 4y agoI'm sure they will be up on the science. Washing - drying 1 or 30 shirts is only one load. The time to pull out a board and iron 30 shirts is less than the time to load them up drive to a place and repeat when you pick them up.
- gberger 4y agoIt would take me longer to properly iron just one shirt than to drop them all off at the cleaner.
- noduerme 4y agoSome people love ironing. My brother irons while he watches baseball. He says it's Zen for him. I myself hate ironing. I used to stop by his place with my shirts and he'd iron them for me. The best are those hanging steamer/dryer closets. Fancy stuff though.
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoShould I do this before or after mowing the lawn, general home maintenance, vacuuming, cleaning, shopping, cooking, showering. Mending work clothes (metal fabrication workshop is hard on work clothes). What am I complaining about, I don't even have children. Or do you mind if I outsource some of these things occasionally?
- ipaddr 4y agoNo you can't do any of those things because you spent your time/energy at the drycleaner. Outsource only if it saves you time.
- pubby 4y agoI mean you could pay for a "wet" cleaner. It doesn't sound like your shirts need dry.
