Sweater Savings
Lady in Sweater

Sweater season is fast approaching.  So now's the time to take advantage of our 'bring in three and only pay for two' Sweater Special for the month of September.  Restore the softness and keep the colors bright - just like the day you brought them home from the store.  So stop in at any of our four convenient locations to take advantage of this month's special. No coupon needed.

 

Feature Focus on Back-to-School


Back-to-School is not only for kids - adults should look at expanding their horizons now that the lazy hazy days of summer are winding down. The area city recreation centers not only have exercise classes for your body, but interesting classes for your mind.  Check out your local libraries for classes - or maybe even join a book discussion group.  Some of the area craft stores also offer both free and low cost craft sessions. 

All around us are learning experiences - all we have to do is open our minds to new things.  Life is about learning, questioning, giving and loving.  Do your part and go 'Back to School'.

Check out our 'Links' section for some of the area offerings.  Enjoy!

 

Ask the Experts

Q. My chenille sweaters have thin areas showing after I've had them cleaned several times.  Why?

A. The yarns in a chenille sweater are made by weaving a pile fabric and cutting it into strips, resulting in base yarns that are surrounded by fuzzy, soft fibers - like a caterpillar.  When the yarns are abraded in use and from the necessary agitation in cleaning, some of the soft, fuzzy fibers may be removed, which can cause complaints of thin areas or holes.  Often, a web-like appearance will remain in the area, which is actually the base yarns in the material.

This damage usually occurs after the item has been exposed to repeated use and care, but can still occur on relatively new items.  This damage is attributable to the manufacturer since it results from the fabric construction.

And Before I Close.....

 

For that last fling of summer, the Auto-Rama Drive-In on Lorain Road in North Ridgeville is open on weekends until the weather turns really cold.  So pile everyone in the car and enjoy a first run film.  The Drive-In celebrated its 40th Anniversary and is a family owned business.

 

And did you pick up your free gift the last time you picked up your drycleaning?  We have commemorative bookmarks at each of our locations.  Next month, we'll have a 'sweet' surprise for you.
