SUDSIES OPENS A NEW LOCATION IN FORT LAUDERDALE
Over the past year, we’ve really grown a connection with our Northern neighbors in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton via our pickup and delivery service. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we have laid down a physical home in Fort Lauderdale, from where we will continue to serve you even more personally and effectively. This marks our first location outside of Miami-Dade and the fourth within the Sudsies portfolio. As always, you can expect friendly, front-door service via a dedicated valet, but now our open doors are a little closer too. Visit our boutique storefront for consultations about our eco-friendly offerings, including cleaning, preservation, restoration, alterations, tailoring, and all other on-site requests. This includes both wardrobe and household items. In fact, our Broward facility will serve as our headquarters for residential linen processing. A designated department features state-of-the-art wet cleaning equipment by Miele and a team of technicians skilled in hand finishing… so let’s just say you can sleep better knowing your high-thread count sheets and designer bedding will maintain their luxe look and feel. This department also oversees those special occasion table linens that help you set the scene for social entertaining. You can find us in Downtown Las Olas at 112 Davie Boulevard, while our mobile fleet roves throughout Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade country. To schedule your service, call (954) 869-3279, visit sudsies.com, or download the Sudsies app. We look forward to seeing you around, new neighbor!
IRONING OUT THE FACTS FOR YOU
What to Consider Before Purchasing ‘No Iron’ Garments Garments these days can tout some serious technology, but it’s important to know that sometimes these perks may not be worthy of your wardrobe. We recently received some background about “no-iron” shirts. Passing along this information isn’t to sway our clients one way or the other, we simply believe in sharing our expertise to help you make the most informed decisions when investing in clothing. While the idea of not ironing sounds very convenient, you may not want to permanently stow away your ironing board just yet. According to Consumer Reports, no-iron shirts have a 20-25% shorter lifespan than untreated cotton shirts. The National Cleaners Association goes on to elaborate that the very treatment process that keeps these fabrics so smooth actually makes them more fragile. Collar, cuff, and elbow areas that are exposed to more friction are particularly susceptible to damage. Furthermore, these treatments can make the garments less breathable, thus the wearer may perspire more, which subsequently leads to additional wear-and-tear via dirt and oils. While we emphasize the value of a quality professional cleaning, it’s not a preventative remedy for these already weakened fibers. If the thought of an iron has you steaming, then perhaps this early lifespan is a worthy trade off – we just suggest not getting too attached to these types of garments for the long run. For questions about your clothing, no-iron or not, or about Sudsies green cleaning processes, you can speak with a dedicated customer service concierge at 305.864.3279.
