Description of service

I went to my husbands award ceremony for work and it was a dinner and open bar. So I had to try to be careful the entire night so I wouldn't get anything on my dress. Although it's black it can still get dirty. I thought I was home free until I dropped a piece of chicken on my dress just before I was finished eating. Anyways I had to take my dress which is very delicate to the dry cleaner to have it cleaned. It was kind of expensive because it was a delicate garment that needed special cleaning for a greasy stain.


Review of Service

I went in and was told that normally a dress such as this would cost about $20 for a basic clean, but in order to get the stain out it could be more. Of course it would up being more. Ultimately $45 for the entire cleaning. I got it back in just less than a week and it did look as good as new. I love this dress so it was well worth cleaning because I wear it so much.


Tips

My advice is to be more careful when you're wearing nice clothes. I thought I was being careful and wound up paying $45 for a cleaning.
