Is your dry cleaning bill putting a load on
your wallet? Trust me you are not the only one. From clip coupons to dry
cleaning cut backs, check out these 8 easy alternatives to alleviate your dry cleaning
bills.
Scrutinize
the tag carefully

We often end up believing that every new
purchase needs to be dry cleaned instead of washing. Really! Look carefully
what the tag says. “Dry clean only” makes sense but “dry clean” has more to say
then what you interpret. Fabrics like silk, taffeta and velvet needs
professional attention but cotton, polyester, cashmere, nylon and linen are
easy to wash and dry clean at home. Just be cent % sure not to dump your
delicates in the dryer. Other than that you are set.
Magic

The best way to keep your clothes stains
free and refresh is by the way of placing disposable underarm sweat pads,
inside of your clothes, right at the underarm. They’ll help preclude the sweat
stain s of your white clothes and deodorants marks from your garments. At the
end of the day, detach them and discard. Easy enough!
Badge
coupons

“Discount”, yes a word that rings bells.
Keep an eye on the offers being extended by your local dry cleaners and laundry
providing companies, especially during fall and spring. 10 to 30% discount is
not something to let go easily. Or you can take assistance of apps like
Groupon, Scoopon, Cudo etc.
Bulk
Dry Cleaning

The
more the volume the lesser the price, yes we are critically aware of the concept.
Then why not incorporate it during various walks of life. Try to offer clothes
in bulk when to take it to dry cleaning and negotiate a price based on volume.
Trust me your dry cleaner won’t let of 10 for 5.

It is not always necessary to get your
clothes dry cleaned, especially if you have already worn them 4 or 5 times.
Those must require the help of good ironing and probably a heat activated dry
sheet to give them life.
Slice
out Visits
Dry Cleaning may end up squeezing life out
of your clothes, Shortening their life span and fading of the original colour
in the process. But then we are one hell of hygiene freaks. Not compromising on
both parts ask the sellers of the possible wears out of a particular garment
with dry cleaning, usually it is 2 for shirts and dresses, 3 to 4 for pants and
skirts, up to 6 for blazers and jackets, and two for winter clothes.

Dryel Kits that we swear to avoid at the
grocery stores, are actually life savers and immensely simple to carry out. In
emergencies, opt for stain removers, like a Tide to go pen, for stubborn stains
seek help of professionals. But during times when you can actually save even a
single penny, go for it.
