1 in 3 CUSTOMERS AVOID BUYING A GARMENT MARKED DRY CLEAN

1. MOST DELICATE ITEMS MARKED DRY CLEAN CAN BE LAUNDERED USING COOL WATER AND A DELICATE CYCLE.

2. AVOID MACHINE WASING IF AN ITEM HAS DETAILS THAT MAY BECOME DAMAGED.

3. DELICATE CAREFUL LAUNDERING IS OFTEN BETTER THAN SIGNING A RELEASE OF DAMAGES AT THE DRY CLEANER!.
