How often do you dry clean and how much is your bill?

[ggavinmoss]

I just took in 14 items (mostly shirts) and paid $21. It will be ready tomorrow and the quality is good.

Dry clean about once every two weeks, usually a total of 2-3 pants. The shirts I drop off at the cleaners, but all I have done to them is washed and pressed for $1 each (I hate ironing, partly because I don't have the patience to do a good job on it). The pants are dry cleaned for like $4 each.

My gf and I send out our laundry every 2 weeks. It's usually a big laundry bag of wash & fold clothes, plus almost a dozen of my dress shirts that I get washed and ironed, and some drycleaning (half a dozen pairs of pants, a couple of her skirts, maybe a sweater or two, maybe a suit or two). It's generally $50-75, plus $3 for the delivery guy each way.

sounds about right. i do about once a week, and generally it's not more than $40.

I do not purchase clothing that requires dry cleaning.

If some one gives me such an item as a gift, the high maintence article of clothing is thrown into the wash with the rest of the the clothes. If the item survives, the fates have decided that the item can join the ranks of my clothing. If it is destroyed, so be it.

All this press crap. Learn to iron.

Lol, you try to iron nice wool suits, it's doesn't work! I have to wear a suit 4 days a week (friday is casual day) so I dry-clean every two weeks. I do the pants, any stained ties, and the occasional shirt. My jackets are cleaned every 6 months at the most often as they are taken off as soon as I get to work. My shirts are all those nifty Eddie Bauer wrinkle and stain resistant models, I just through them in the washer, dryer, then hang them up and there are no wrinkles!

Before I was working a 'real' job I had been to the dry cleaners a grand total of 2 times to get my tux cleaned.

EDIT** oh, and my bills tend to be ~$15-25 depending on how many nice dresses my wife throws in with the order
