| - A few general truths I should make everyone aware of before I write my GLOWING review of this establishment:
1) I regularly wear clothes
2) I regularly drink red wine (almost as regularly as I wear clothes)
3) Clothes + red wine + effects of said red wine = This is why I can't have nice things.
However, Park Avenue is actually in the process of allowing me to defy human logic and somehow cross item #3 off of the list of "General Truths about Georgeann's Life" because I swear to god they can clean ANYTHING out of ANYTHING. And for $2.25! Just be warned, for some of the tougher stains (which I have many) you will get it back with one of those little signs that says they couldn't get the stain out without damaging the fabric. A lot of my garments come back with this tag, but like I said, I can't have nice things. However, most of the time I see the tag but for the life of me can't find the stain so I don't really care. However, if the piece was expensive or important to me, or if the stain is really noticeable and I am really sad about it, you can always ask them to give it special care and they will blow your mind.
Two examples: I had a brand new Kensie dress that I absolutely LOVED and brought to Vegas with me almost immediately after buying. Like most of us on our way to vegas, it got completely smashed and was a wrinkled mess when I pulled it out of my suitcase. Like an idiot, I tried to steam iron this rayon dress, despite the facts that rayon does not take well to moisture and I do not know how to iron. What resulted was water stains all over this brand spanking new dress, and me having to improvise an entire Vegas ensemble. When I brought it in to Park Ave I asked them to please try and remove the stains WITHOUT removing the tags, thinking I might be able to get away with returning it if they really couldn't get the stains out. They got every one of them out, and I'm presuming by hand because I'm pretty sure putting it through the dry clean process would have melted the tags right off. I was SO impressed and asked what I owed for the stain removal. Clearly it could not be the same $2.25 I pay for washable blouses just because they come out all nice and pressed and I don't know how to iron. But it was! I insisted I should pay more, and they insisted that I shouldn't.
Most recently I, ingeniously, decided to wear a white maxi skirt on the fourth of July. You know, that day where everyone gets extremely inebriated in the name of Personal Freedom? Also, that day it was forecasted to rain the whole time? Yes, mud plus a white, floor-length skirt sounded like a good idea to me (this is why I can't have nice things). Of course, like most us on the Fourth of July, the bottom got absolutely trashed and I was not surprised to see the dreaded "Sorry We Tried :(" tag hanging when I went to pick it up. I took the plastic off right in the dry cleaners to somberly assess the damage and the girl behind the counter asked if I wanted to send it through again and see what they can do. Why, yes! Thank you for asking! On the second try the skirt came back completely pristine! Again at no extra charge. I am honestly hesitating on posting this review right now because I don't want this place to get too crowded, but they deserve every piece of business they get. GIVE THEM ALL THE STARS!!!
