Dress shirts are the most essential part of any man’s wardrobe and are probably the most underappreciated articles of clothing. Shirts are taken for granted because we expect them to look great all the time. Although they are relatively easy for a professional cleaner to clean and press, a shirt can suffer problems, including ring around the collar, color loss, and fabric abrasion leading to tears, punctures, and holes. Industry experience shows the average shirt has a two-year wearable life expectancy. A better measurement is the number of launderings. The average shirt has a wear life of 35 ..read more

Caring for Household Items

Open the windows and let the sun shine in! But be careful where those rays go because they could fade some parts of your home environment. Sometimes we forget about household items that blend into our homes so much they become a part of the scenery. These items collect dust and dirt and can become damaged, faded or discolored in their inactivity. Since we see them everyday, gradual changes come about without our noticing. Guest room items are often overlooked, as many comforters on guest room beds sit in direct sunlight and are rarely noticed. Draperies, upholstery, rugs, and pillows all fade ..read more

Problems with Linen

Linen, known for its crisp, smooth finish, is a popular spring and summer fabric. Unfortunately, with that crisp finish comes the tendency to wrinkle easily, and manufacturers have responded by producing linen with blends of other fabrics to help make linens more wrinkle resistant. These blends offer two advantages over pure linen-they are able to retain crispness and they are softer and more comfortable to wear. As a general rule, blends are less expensive than pure linen. Linen blends often require special attention, based on the individual fabrics used in the blend. Be sure to check the ca ..read more

Snow season is well underway. With the snow comes the inevitable use of road salt, both on roads and on sidewalks, and that results in salt stains on coats and other garments. Salt can cause many dyes on wool fabrics to temporarily change color (usually pink, orange, or brown). The color change appears in a splatter formation, and usually occurs on areas that are close to the ground, such as hemlines of coats or slacks. Salt is not soluble in drycleaning, and can only be removed by water. To remove salt rings, our drycleaner can generally flush the affected areas with steam or water. It is be ..read more

It’s a whole lot easier to get rid of unwanted guests before they become permanent residents. Mysterious stains sometimes appear on clothes after a period of time in storage. Faint stains may also appear worse or stains “invisible” to the naked eye may show up only after the garment is cleaned. Making sure clothing is properly cleaned before storage is the best defense against these problems. This is true for all garments including wedding gowns. Club soda and water are good short-term solutions to stains, but they do not remove all of the staining material. It is risky to store a garment that ..read more

Simple Answers to Common Questions

Q. Does frequent drycleaning shorten the life of a garment? A. To the contrary, frequent cleaning prolongs the life of a garment. Not only do stains set with age, making the garment unwearable, but ground-in dirt and soil act as an abrasive, like sandpaper, causing rapid wear of fibers. Also, insects are attracted to soiled clothes and will cause further damage. Q. When a garment’s label says “washable,” does this mean it cannot be drycleaned? A. Not necessarily. The Care Label Rule states that only one suitable method of cleaning is required. If you want your washable items drycleaned, the cl ..read more

We are well into the football season and while many fans may be cheering for the football players are you enjoying the half-time show? Here are some tips to keeping your musical star looking great. Band uniforms are very expensive and generally require professional cleaning. They are usually wool or a wool/synthetic blend and are susceptible to damage from perspiration and rubbing under the armpits during marching. Wearing a t-shirt underneath helps absorb some of the perspiration. Other common band uniform stains are ink, food, sugar drinks, grass, and mud—which shouldn’t be terribly surpris ..read more

See original post here: https://wayzatatogether.com/f/serving-the-community-for-more-than-50-years So a few months ago, I was thinking about the March issue and what stories to write. As you can see, this issue is very much an ode to St. Patrick’s Day and all things Irish. I wondered which family in town would make a good profile for this month’s edition. And then it came to me like a beacon in the dark. Well, it was literally a light shining in the night I’m talking about the green and white neon sign of Wayzata Home Laundry & Dry Cleaners that shines along Wayzata Boulevard. The busi ..read more
