WHY DO LADIES ITEMS COST MORE TO CLEAN THAN MENS?
Cotton or cotton-poly blend shirts are laundered and finished mostly by automated shirt equipment. Most men’s dress shirts are laundered and pressed with the aid of preformed shirt equipment. Women’s dress shirts are processed this way when they are large enough. As men’s shirts are typically larger than women’s, this shirt equipment will not handle many women’s sizes. Shirts that cannot be laundered just be dry cleaned and require hand finishing. Other examples that may require your shirt to be dry cleaned are rayon or silk fabric, if the care label specifies it, or if it requires cold ironing. Finally, the difference between a shirt and a blouse must be considered. Shoulder pads, material, and design are all factors in making the distinction. But a men’s silk shirt, like a tux shirt, would be comparably priced to a woman’s silk blouse. No matter what the case is, we want you looking your best.
