Dry cleaners

[2Xtreme21]

I hate ironing my dress shirts more than just about anything in the world. It takes me forever and when I iron them, they always still end up wrinkled (because I suck at it). Was thinking about taking my shirts and pants to a dry cleaners so I could avoid the headache.

How much should I expect to pay to get ~ 7 button-down dress shirts and ~ 3 pairs of dress pants dry cleaned a week? And how many people here dry clean their stuff weekly?

I dry clean my dress pants but wash/iron the shirts myself.

I wear a suit jacket about once every five years. I keep it in a plastic dry cleaner bag to keep dust off of it. I last tied my tie in 1994. I just loosen it up to slip over my head and then retighten it. The only thing I take to the dry cleaners is a down comforter. I used to iron my shirts/pants every day but I got over it.

Where is the option for "I wear wrinkled clothes"?

dress clothes go to the cleaner once very 10 days or so.

wrinkle free shirts

Just dress pants and suits since I know how to iron.

I will bring in a few shirts if I am making a trip anyway though.

I never dry-clean my work clothes. I think they'd look at me funny if I asked to dry-clean a cotton-poly t-shirt.

I've been ironing forever until recently

work clothes?

i wear a dress shirt once in a blue moon, so i iron it... and it takes forever since i never do it, heh

This shirt is dry-clean only, which means it's dirty.




The stuff I wear to work is all machine-washable, so no, no dry-cleaning for anything but the suit.

Dry clean? Ironing? WTH is that? New Zealandese or something?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I take all of my laundry to the dry cleaners... they've got a $1/pound drop-off wash/dry/fold thing.

super convenient, since I don't have a washer/dryer in my apartment and it only comes out to like $15 every other week (a bit more when I have to have blankets/sheets washed).

my "work clothes" are jeans or cargos and casual button-downs, so no real need to dry clean.

I don't wear work clothes that require ironing. I'm a low life, uneducated, too stupid to work in an office, "blue collar" worker.

The wife, on the other hand, is in management and irons her work clothes.

Have you considered a home fabric steamer product? I'm not sure how effective they are, but I see them in use in clothing stores in the mall.

That means I've never dry cleaned anything, or used an iron.
