Bring Your Own Garment Bag

Save on plastic and minimize trash by bringing your own garment bag to the dry cleaners. Small changes like these become a regular part of your habit. By doing stuff like this regularly, you get in the practice of reusing and recycling. Many people, I suspect, don't reuse as much as they should because they aren't in the practice of it, so they forget to do so by not making proper preparations. I know I was like that. But if you go to the dry cleaners often, this is a solution worth incorporating.

At Home Dry Cleaning Kits

There are many at-home dry cleaning kits available. It comes with a ball that protects your clothes from the abrasiveness of the washer that can damage clothes. It's a fraction of the cost of going to the dry cleaners. You save time and money on your gas bill and dry cleaning bill, allowing you to spend your time more productively.

Save on Dry Cleaning

Unless your clothes specifically is labeled DRY CLEAN ONLY, you can hand wash them if it instructs just DRY CLEAN by filling your sink or tub with cool water and a capful of Woolite. Let it soak and thoroughly rinse with warm water. Hang dry tops and lay sweaters on a meshed drying surface.
