My roommate suggested I begin using Cameo Cleaners -- she told me they're more expensive than a regular cleaners, but the same quality as Madame Paulette and Hallak at a lower cost. So I did. And they're terrific -- they pick up, drop off and do a great job with the finest clothing. \r
\r
My philosophy is that if you invest in clothing, you should also invest in caring for it. But I can't justify spending what Mme Paulette charges, but it's disappointing when good clothing is returned after being cleaned looking less than new. This will not happen with Cameo. \r
\r
To keep costs down, I send Cameo my good clothing, suits, etc. but I reserve items like shirts for a regular cleaners. \r
\r
If I have one suggestion for Cameo -- use less tissue paper (it's hard to fit such bulky items in my tiny NYC closet). It also seems a little wasteful. But, I do understand why you need to sometimes -- keeping the shape of clothing is important. \r
\r
But they're awesome and I HIGHLY recommend them!
