Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1995 Community Tips for consumers-dr- y cleaners From the Better Business Bureau Regardless of how much is written on the subject, Better Business Bureaus field thousands of calls about dry cleaning. In 1994, the BBBs received 20,000 inquiries and 5,000 complaints on dry cleaninglaundry companies. Minimizing the likelihood of damage to your clothing begins with the purchase of the garment. Federal law requires apparel manufacturers to attach permanent labels to garments with instructions for dry cleaning or laundering. Look for this label when you are considering a purchase. The care necessary to keep a garment clean and attractive may be important to your purchase decision. You might think that youre extending the life of certain garments by dry cleaningthem, even though the label says machine washable. In fact, most garments that are labeled with washing instructions may not be dry clean-ablas they may contain dyes or trims that are not resistant to dry cleaning solvent. If youre in doubt about the serviceability of a particular garment, ask about the stores return policy before making the purchase. If the policy permits, you might then buy the garment e, ity. To avoid problems on dry cleanable clothes, take a stained garment to the cleaners as soon as possible after its soiled, and tell the cleaner what caused the stain. When you pick up your clothing from the cleaners, examine it and point out any problems right away, since this is the best time to resolve a problem. Although some stains cant be removed by any known method, most problems (a missed spot or inadequate pressing job) can be corrected by the cleaner. If a garment comes back damaged even though all care instructions were followed, the manufacturer is responsible. In this case, return the item to the store where you bought it. If the dry cleaner failed to follow care instructions, the cleaner is at fault, and youre entitled to recover the value of the garments remaining life expectancy. It is up to you to negotiate an adjustment with the cleaner. If you need additional information or assistance contact your local Better Business Thurs.
