These associations help keep the dry cleaner up to date. It may also come in handy if a problem arises since many associations offer garment analysis. No matter how knowledgeable someone is, it doesn't hurt to be able to ask your peers questions once in a while.
Many stores are dirty.
The store may have a smell which may originate from the plastic bags that are used, but under no circumstances should your clothes smell. Do not be shy about sticking your nose in your clothes and taking a deep sniff. If a stain does not come out, ask why. If you do not get a satisfactory answer, take the stained article to another dry cleaner. If the stain still does not come out, ask why.
