If I let a dry cleaners do all of my washing?

Question

If I leave it to a dry cleaners to do all of my washing, will I be almost certain to get better resluts than a washing machine? How much will it cost for lets say 2 trousers and 5 shirts a week, and will they pick them up from my house and deliver them back for me aswell?

Answer 1

Quite a bit when they loose it.

Answer 2

It depends on where you live...I'm in Ohio and some of the laundry mats have self serve and full serve service...You usually pay by the pound and they will wash,dry your clothes and fold them....Generally, it's a drop off/pick-up service. Some dry cleaning services will also do pick-up and delivery.. You just leave a bag out on your porch and they pick-up on certain days or you call them... Call the local places in your area and see what services they provide... Or you can maybe hire someone to do your laundry at your house for cheaper..

Answer 3

seems like an outrageous waste of money to me if you already have a washer and dryer. I hear on the radio that they charge 1.50 per item. Pickup and delivery I'm quite sure costs more. I wouldn't say it will be cleaner either. It would depend on how much you trust the particular cleaners?

Answer 4

They charge by the item and I dont know any that do pick up and delivery. You need to call one up and get a price for shirt and trousers then figure your cost. As far as quality I know the laundry can make my clothes look better than I do.

Answer 5

2 trousers and 5 shirts a week? 1 trouser and 6 shirts every two weeks for me usually, does that make me a scruffy oik?

Answer 6

They wont pick them up or deliver but your best bet is to find a retired lady locally who will do it for you!

Answer 7

Its cheaper to do it yourself, but most dry cleaners press for you too.
