   Do you know a new or recent graduate or someone who will be heading off to college or getting their first apartment?  A laundry "gift basket" is a great gift idea for this laundry newbie.  Use a large laundry basket and fill it with all of the laundry basics.....detergent, fabric softener, stain removal sticks, a soft brush (for removing stains), a care label chart and a piggy bank filled with quarters labeled "Laundry $". 

   Another great clothing gift is to sign the new graduate up for our VIP Express Service.  They can fill their Westbank bag with their dry cleanable garments and when they come home from school they can drop it off at any Westbank Dry Cleaning location ....no waiting in line and our simple auto billing makes pick up even faster.  The best part is they receive 50% off their 16th order.  No clipping coupons.  We keep track.  No matter what their major, that's a real scholarship of savings!

Home Laundry Tip

Not sure if that new red shirt is going to bleed?

1. To test for colorfastness, put a few drops of water on an inside seam.

2. Blot the area with a white cloth or cotton ball.

3. If no color comes off, the shirt is safe to wash with other similar colored garments.  If color does come off, wash the shirt separately.
