Washing and Ironing?

[pekmez.livejournal.com]

We've been going to the same dry cleaners for, er, more years than I really want to count right now, but have mostly managed to live our lives without needing to dry clean stuff more than every few months.

We suddenly find ourselves in need of clean ironed men's shirts on a 5-day-a-week basis, and I think I'd prefer to reduce our use of dry cleaning chemicals at this point .) I know there are a few places that use more eco-friendly dry cleaning stuff, but what about old fashioned *wet* cleaning? Are there any places who offer to launder cotton men's shirts in washing machines and then iron them so they look nice, or did the advent of dry cleaning completely kill that business model?

There is a difference between dry cleaning, wash and fold and shirt service/shirt laundering. Wash and Fold typically applies to bulk machine washing and folding of any laundry (no pressing). Shirt laundering is for shirts only - they are washed and pressed, and alternatively starched or boxed. I get my shirts laundered and boxed every 2 weeks at Royal White Cleaners on Cedar Street (now the customer entrance is directly on the floor of the factory). I found that they are the cheapest and do a good job.
