Choosing a
dry cleaner can be as tricky as choosing your wedding dress designer.
Nonetheless, a good dry cleaning service is always very important to find. Read
on to find out if your dry cleaner ticks all the following checkboxes.
Convenience
You would
never want to take an hour-long ride to drop or pick your clothes from the dry
cleaner. Make sure the dry cleaning service is located near your home or
office. Some dry cleaning services offer extended and weekend hours,
drive-through facilities, and pickup and delivery services; move your selected
dry cleaner up the rating scale if it offers you such convenient options.
Pricing and lost/damaged garments policies
The ‘lowest
price guarantee’ may come with strings attached. Look out for any hidden
charges or extra costs on special clothing articles and ask whether they follow
a fixed price policy or the listed prices may just be the starting figures.
Choosing a
cleaning service with great replacement and compensation policies for
lost/damaged garments is always worth every extra penny that it may cost you. Find
out whether they replace or refund you the depreciated value of your item as
per the International Fabricare Institute’s Fair Claims Guide.
Experience
If a dry
cleaning service has been around for a long time, it may be suggestive of its
commitment to providing superior quality cleaning services. Be cautious of a
dry cleaner that has frequently changed names and ownership. Taking advice from
friends and neighbors on how long the facility has been in business can always
come in handy.
Specialist Services
Your wedding
gown and graduation suit needs extra care! Before taking an article of special
clothing to the dry cleaner, make sure whetherthey specialize in that type of
clothing. Many dry cleaners offer specialist cleaning services for delicate
fabrics in suits, dresses, or bedding; do your research before you decide to
hand your clothes over.
