Dry Cleaning

in Old style MoneySaving
I sometimes have to wear a suit for work and the cost of drycleaning is very high compared to our other washing done with MPD.

Anyone have any cost savers where Dry Cleaning is concerned?

    Apparently you can buy a pack of Ariel 'cloths' that can be used in the washing machine. I have never used them myself but I work with someone who does so all the time. Should be able to find them in the same area as wahing powders/liquids.

    I simply have a very cheap local dry cleaner! They charge £6 for four garments ... and do my mending for £2.50 a time as well! ... I didn't find this place till I'd lived in my current area for 2 years, and before this I used to go all the way to my previous neighbourhood (effectively free travel, as I have a 1-year London Travelcard) to a place that did five garments for £10 ... never liked this place much though ... the place I go to now is even cheaper and they don't even get @rsey about accepting beaded garments, or refuse to include bulky items in the £6-for-4 deal.

    Bargain Rzl, I know you live relatively near me, so can you tell me which dry cleaners you use? Thanks.
