Happy

Valentine's Day

 

 

Give your Valentine dark chocolate for the holiday:

  • lowers blood pressure

  • improves insulin resistance

  • the smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves, making you more relaxed

  • chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a mild mood elevator

  • the cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fat which may raise HDL, the good cholesterol

  • men who eat chocolate live a year longer than those who don't

Household Savings

    

  We are running our Annual Household Sale from February 1st through March 31st.  We are offering 20% off the dry cleaning price of blankets, quilts, down comforters, bedspreads, duvet covers and draperies.  Our gentle Adjust-A-Drape cleaning process restores colors and textures to your pleated draperies.  We assure smooth folds, squared corners, exact lengths and even hem lines. We also offer feather pillow renewal.  "What's this?" you may ask.   Sleep on lumpy, lifeless soiled down or feather pillows?  Bring them in to us for our pillow service. Pillow restoration involves emptying the feathers into a feather-cleaning machine that resembles a front-loading washer with a window in the door.  Then, as the drum turns, the feathers are fluffed and sanitized by an ultraviolet, germicidal light that kills the germs in the feathers and the sand or dust from old feathers is sifted away.  New feathers can be added to make your pillows plumper.  The feathers are then blown into a new ticking.  Your pillows are returned to you fresh and clean.

 

Focus on Punxsutawney Phil

According to legend, if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

On February 2, Phil comes out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob - in front of thousands of followers from all over the world - to predict the weather for the rest of winter.

The town of Punxsutawney, in western Pennsylvania, plans a whole weekend's worth of festivities around the little rodent. You can even send a Punxsutawney Phil birthday card or anniversary greeting from the website. 

 

Ask the Experts

Q. How can I remove stains caused by crayons left in pockets?

 A.  Crayon stains appear as built up, shiny and stiff stains in a variety of colors. Normally, drying - not washing - will cause these kinds of stains.  Your first discovery of the stains will occur when you open the dryer door to find clean clothes covered with a myriad of colored stains.  The stains appear after drying because the heat from the dryer melts the crayon material.  The easiest way to solve this problem is to take the clothes to us.  We'll remove the crayon stains by running them through our drycleaning machine.  It's easier to check the pockets before hand for foreign objects than to remove crayon stains later. The dryer drum will also require cleaning
