Frugal Friday: Dry Cleaning

Hi! Did you know that Dry Cleaning is a pretty bad thing for the environment? You should research the process. Of course, if you love clothes like I do, you probably dry clean. If you must, find an organic dry cleaner. But what things can you machine wash? Did you know if the tag says, 'dry clean' its a recommendation? If it is Dry Cleaning is required, the tag would say 'dry clean only'. Check washing instructions when you shop. That may increase the cost or decrease the potential that you'll get good use out of it. It also could leave a carbon footprint- all things to consider.

I haven't tried any at-home dry cleaning systems but I have a monthly rolling budget and I also get things tailored whenever I can't tailor it myself. The only way your clothes are going to fit you perfectly is if you tailor them. Bethenny Frankel says, "Tailor everything!" Love her!

God Bless,
