Martinizing Dry Cleaners

Great customer service and fast turn around for shirts and suits!

Note to self: Don’t drop hors d’oeuvres on a satin dress your boyfriend bought you for Christmas – they might stain.
I brought my dress to Martinizing for cleaning. It says DRY CLEAN ONLY, but they asked if they could wash it instead (apparently my type of stains come out easier with washing). I said no because I figured there was no chance that my dress would withstand washing – and what good does a clean dress that it completely damaged do for me? It won’t make the BF’s sad face any easier to deal with. I give them extra credit for at least asking before doing.
So, I picked up my not-​fully clean dress from them ($ 20 later) and decided to try and spot clean it myself. After a little bit of some stain remover I bought at the dollar store and lot of elbow grease, I got the existing stains out – now I have some small water spots that I will attempt to bring to a different dry cleaner to have them attempt to remove. But at least there’s still hope! I’ve seen what dry clean only clothes look like after they’ve been mistakenly washed, and it’s not pretty! Sorry Martinizing, but I can’t say I trust your judgment on this one.
