A good dry cleaner is your best partner. Clothes are expensive and we need them to last as long as possible. Use these tips to select the best dry cleaner.
Certifications
Ask if there is a certified professional dry cleaner on staff. There are certifications for environmental dry cleaning, wet and dry cleaning. Certifications show that these are pros who take their craft seriously.
Professional Affiliations
Ask about professional affiliations. Is the shop affiliated with the Better Business Bureau or the International Fabricare Institute? These groups are concerned with your rights and the owner’s reputation.Employee Professionalism
Is the counter clerk helpful? A good counter clerk inspects the garments carefully and asks about stains and special care. Indifference is not a good trait in dry cleaning!Word of Mouth
Listen to word of mouth. Your friends can help you avoid a world of trouble. If they’ve had a bad experience with a dry cleaner, they’re probably not the only one. Ask several people and you’ll soon hear a certain shop’s name rise to the top.
