First of all, I really grumble at the idea of having to pay to wear my own clothes. I know, I know, this isn't exactly true, considering it costs money to use the washing machine too, but at least my home machine doesn't smugly spit out a $55 receipt every two weeks. Eek!
And then there's the hippie in me who doesn't like the idea of all those chemicals going into my clothes and then into my bedroom closet. Even though my DC has a huge "ORGANIC" sign in his window, I still don't trust it. It's like the low-fat ice cream scheme--it might be a little better for you, but it's still a bad idea.
But I must admit, when I do go pick up my belongings from the DC, it's the most amazing feeling to see them hanging there like new: buttons buttoned, collars pressed, sleeves gathered in front with a tiny plastic clip. Mmmm, they look so content. But I always think....there's got to be something else....
Alas, ladies! I have found an alternative in the Sharper Image Portable Garment Steamer. I was feeling under the weather this weekend, so I stood in my bathroom for more hours than I would care to admit and steamed practically my entire wardrobe. Oy! I'm so OCD! I would have taken a picture, but said stuffy nose had me not looking my best :)Not only does this little miracle take the wrinkles out, but it claims to disinfect and deodorize fabric (seems like a lofty claim that would require A LOT of steam for A LONG period of time). I instead opt for the quick fix of this tool and am so pleased with the results. And the best part is it's nice and small (about the size of an electric kettle) so it stores easily. Not like one of those gigantic ones with the fish bowl size resevior. This one is small and mighty.
Go on and get your own! Adam has already requested I bring it to Chitown for a v. exciting (and productive!) Easter weekend.
Now if only I could find a place that sold those little plastic sleeve clips.....
