Shirtstream Drycleaners

Happy FTR Feb everyone! ;)
I needed a posh dress for an awards ceremony thing, which was the perfect opportunity to dig out a pink number I’ve had gathering dust in the back of my wardrobe since final year uni. I took it in for a dry clean to spruce up, conscious of the fact it hasn’t been the same since a spillage from years ago, and the dry-​clean at the time managed to fade it but not hide it.
I popped in here at lunchtime so had a bit of a wait, but once at the front of the queue the eagle-​eyed woman spotted the faded stain straight off. ‘What’s this?’, she asked immediately. ‘Err that would be from a homemade cocktail I spilled down the front years ago, concocted by a wannabe bartender uni mate of mine while under the influence and containing a lot of blue curacao, some tequila and something else probably equally hideous during a particularly raucous graduation dinner’, I thought. ‘No idea’, I said.
They managed to fade the stain further so it was almost unnoticeable (yay), and it arrived back in their standard 48 hour turnaround time (you can pay up for faster service). I thought it was a little steep at £15 for a dress clean though (plus I recently read an article that said women are forced to pay more for dry cleaning anyway in this crazy world but hey that’s a whole ‘nother kettle of annoying fish) but it does have the convenience factor for me being a stone’s throw from my office. Be prepared to ‘fess up your spillage secrets to the woman on the till though ;)
