Do you charge more for womens’ shirt than men’s?

At Total Cleaners Lockers WE DO NOT. We find this practice discriminatory and unethical. The cost will be always the same for a men’s dry cleaned shirt and a women’s dry cleaned blouse.According to manufacturer’s label, garments can be either dry cleaned or laundered. Dry cleaning and laundry are two separate processes that utilize different machines, materials and incur different costs. In the laundering process, there are two types of finishing (pressing) procedures: one utilizes automated pressing equipment and the other requires hand finishing.Laundered shirts are inspected to determine what type of finishing the shirt requires. Shirts that fit sizeand fabric criteria (such as high temperature) can be finished utilizing automated pressing equipment designed to finish shirts quicker and more efficiently than hand pressing.For those shirts that do not fall within the criteria of utilizing the automated pressing equipment will require hand finishing, a much more labor intensive and time consuming process. As in any service business, the time it takes to complete a project generally dictates the price. Therefore, because hand-finished shirts require more time to complete than those finished on machines, the cost is higher.The professionals at Total Cleaners will determine based on what will best clean garments in the safest manner with the least risk of damage.
