Tell us what you like about WOOLITE® Dry Cleaner’s Secret® and win the Wardrobe Essentials Kit!  Here’s what Jean, one of our consumers, said about the product!

 “I have been using this product for years.  I absolutely love it.  No chemical smell, in fact it smells really nice.  No ironing, removes collar ring, removes deodorant stains, spot cleans beautifully.  Cashmere sweaters turn out perfect and fluffy.  Wool coats, etc.  No shrinkage, perfect.  The only item I now send to the cleaners is my alpaca coat, unless there is a really bad stain on something.  I work in retail and refer your product to everyone.  LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.  SAVES ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR.” — Jean

Yes, the holidays are quickly approaching!  Do you have your plane tickets?    Hotel reservations?    So, what’s next?  Oh, yeah, packing.  Lucky for you Betty’s Book of Laundry Secrets has some helpful packing tips on what to bring and how best to pack.  This means less time fussing with an iron and more time having fun!

1.  Roll clothes rather than folding them.  They are less likely to get wrinkled.

2.  When you arrive, unpack right away and hang everything up.  Sometimes you can hang clothes in a steamy bathroom to get out minor wrinkles.  Or try our new Dry Cleaner’s Secret Wrinkle Releaser Plus™ Travel Size!  Our new Wrinkle Releaser Plus™ easily remove wrinkles, freshen clothes and eliminates static.  Plus, it’s TSA approved so you can bring it on the plane!

3.  Choose and pack clothes that don’t wrinkle easy.

4.  Take a big plastic bag or spare bag to put all of your dirty laundry in so you are not mixing dirty clothes with clean ones as you go.

5.  Select travel clothes that don’t weigh a lot.

6.  Pack clothes in garment bags.  They really do keep suits and dresses looking fresh.

7.  Keep your toiletries in a plastic bag to avoid leaks and stains.  Better yet, carry your toiletry bag in your carry-on-bag when flying if possible.

8.  Put your shoes in bags so they don’t soil your clothing by rubbing up against them.

Happy Travels!
