I used to buy the fancy Italian work shirts and get them dry cleaned. I still wear them but not as much as before, the reason why......
My advise. Next time you go to the U.S. buy a bunch of Brooks Brothers "non iron shirts". The quality is good and you simply take them out of the washing machine and hang them up. They "dry up" the same as if you took them to the cleaners. The difference: - you save the hassle of going to the cleaners ,waiting in line, watching them fill out all the paperwork in a painstakingly slow fashion, not having change for your money, scowl on their face etc.... -in Moscow you are paying 2 to 5 times what you pay in NYC for dry-cleaning (which adds up) not to mention that the shirts themselves are reasonably priced compared to Moscow retail prices -The shirts last longer then those you dry clean Michael Message: 2 Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 02:15:56 EDT From: [email protected] Subject: Expat List Good shirt laundry To: Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Any advise where I can get dress shirts laundered and starched - (NYC Chinese laundry starched!) My experience over the years is that they come back limp and I can do a better job myself at home. I just want a nice crisp job like any big city in the world.. help.. thanks. **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
