1. When garments are brought home from the cleaner, remove the plastic from them, rather than storing the garments covered with plastic. That plastic is only meant to protect the clothes while at the cleaners and arriving at your home. It doesn’t happen often, but plastic can capture moisture and hold it inside which could cause damage to the garment.

2. Be careful when pinning notes to garments; sometimes pins leave holes that won’t close up. Instead, slip the note inside the bag, written on a large piece of paper, describing the garment. You might say “On the green silk dress, on the upper left of the dress, I dripped olive oil”. And, if you pre-treat a garment at home, PLEASE tell the cleaner.

Better yet…DON’T pre-treat it. That only makes the job harder for your dry cleaner.

The rest of this post rocks!!!
