If your home runs like mine and many others, there’s a basket where the socks sit waiting to be matched and folded (if the dryer hasn’t mysteriously eaten one half of a pair). This basket sits next to the “to-do zone” where we place the shirt missing a button, the trousers needing a cuff tacked, or the slacks with the seam that is past only threatening to come apart. More often than not, a need for some mending comes to light in the most inopportune time. And of course, there never seems to be enough time in the week to thread that needle and work through the “to-do zone”.
During our pre-cleaning inspection of your garments, we are looking for soil, stains and spots as well as that errant button or torn hem. We offer our customers the option for repairs while we have your garments here for cleaning. From mending to replacing buttons to re-doing a seam, we are your one-stop shop for keeping your apparel 100%. Your favorite blouse or trousers need not be kept out of rotation any time longer than it necessary for a cleaning. When your garments are returned and the protective covers are removed, your items are ready to wear. It should be that easy and without thought.
As your preferred dry cleaner, we are your partner in the pursuit of streamlining the laundry needs of your household. Beyond knowing that your shirts need to be lightly or heavily starched, boxed or on hangers, let us know if you’d like for us to handle your mending needs as well. We’re always happy to just include a note alerting you to anything we notice should you prefer to see to your own repairs.
Back to the missing socks… if anyone has solved that mystery, please do tell. I’m fascinated over the solo sock collection that my family has acquired over the years!
