May 2016

It’s that time again! The seasonal wardrobe switch might be the most revered or the most dreaded part of Spring Cleaning. It depends on who you ask. Inevitably, after you’ve sorted your keep, donate, and repurpose piles, you’ll find another collection forming. We’ll call it “to be improved.” Before you have a fully functional warm-weather wardrobe, you’ll need to replace missing buttons, hem the pants you bought during last year’s clearance, and have your delicates gently cleaned.

We’re here to make your life easier! Yes, someone will still have to remember to drop off and pick up the clothes (unless you choose pickup service!). Rochester doesn’t have Taskrabbit yet. But two local businesses will be happy to treat you like a VIP when you bring in your not-quite-ready garments.

Take Your Pants to Thimble Tailor

Family-owned Thimble Tailor has been altering and tailoring the clothes of Rochester’s best dressed for more than 25 years. When you take your pants to their location in Tops Plaza (1900 South Clinton Ave.), you’ll get 15% off their already reasonable prices when you flash your VIP Perks card. Thimble Tailor does fantastic work on both men’s and women’s clothes, and their quality craftsmanship is guaranteed. Their high-end services include alterations, garment cleaning, and bridal fittings.

Drop Off the Dry Cleaning at United Cleaners

United Cleaners has been serving the Rochester community for over 50 years! Among their offerings are on-demand home or office pickup, same-day service, and wash, fold & dry service. While you’re having your delicates dry-cleaned only, you can also freshen up your duvets and automate your laundry! Just be sure to show your VIP Perks card at their Suburban Plaza location (2199 E. Henrietta Rd.) to get 10% off all dry cleaning services.
