Someone DW has trained me to take on the care of our bedding. (Oh, behave! I mean sheets and blankets and such.) I took the comforter off the bed for summer intending on washing it but then remembered the last time I washed it at home it did not go well. It's a king sized comforter and it filled our washer and came out of the dryer with plenty of wrinkles. So I thought I'd take it to the new "Tide Laundry and Dry Cleaners" that recently opened nearby.
I was shopping near the Tide Store yesterday and popped in to see how much it would cost to get our king size comforter washed and dried.
$46.99!!
$46.99!!
They have pricing on the wall that says they charge $3.20 per lb. to launder clothes, with a minimum of 10 lbs. of clothes required. I asked the person working the counter:
"So it will cost me $32.00 to get my king sized comforter cleaned?"
"No", he replied, "a comforter is a special item and we have a flat rate of $46.99 for comforters."
Flabbergasted, I turned and walked out.
Does this price seem reasonable?
