I don't know about you but dropping off and picking up dry cleaning has always been a dreaded chore and often times is forgotten until my husband runs through his suits and dress shirts. I first heard about door to door dry cleaning service about eight years ago when my mother in law mentioned she had a friend that started a pretty lucrative business picking up and then dropping off peoples dry cleaning. I didn't think much of it at the time since neither my husband nor myself had enough dry cleaning to bother.
But when my husband began working for the company he is currently with he would often need to wear a suit. That's when the dry cleaning started to become an extra annoying chore. He would regularly forget to put it in his car, forget to drop it off, then forget to pick it up. Or the dry cleaners would be late opening so he would then be rushing to get to work on time. And then if I dropped off or picked up the dry cleaning I'd have both kids with me so I'd have to lug everyone in and out of the car... It was absolute madness!!!
Then when we moved to OC and lived in the apartments we became spoiled. The complex had a dry cleaners on site! It was so easy and my dear husband always had a fresh shirt and suit. No more stress. It was awesome!
So... when we bought our house the dry cleaning started adding up and my hubby would have to dig to find the cleanest pair of pants. It became a chore I dreaded and then finally it dawned on me that we should be taking advantage of a dry cleaning valet service.
I did an Internet search and found that our local dry cleaners offered the service for FREE!!! All I had to do was stop by the cleaners, provide them with our name and address and give them a credit card for automatic payment. They in turn gave us a laundry bag and door hanger. Our pick-up and drop off days are Tuesday and Thursday. So if they pick up clothes on Tuesday they will drop them off on Thursday and if I have clothes for them to pick up on Thursday they will drop off on Tuesday. And it I need something sooner I can run it and drop off and often pick up the item the same day!!!
So, if you find yourself dreading a trip to the dry cleaners look for one that offers door to door service. They are everywhere! It is super convenient and I'm telling it will change your life!
