Unwanted leftovers?

If candles dripped on the tablecloth, let everything cool and peel the wax off with your fingers. If it’s stubborn, freeze the tablecloth, then scrape off the wax with a credit card. Wash in hot water to remove remaining embedded wax. Better yet, and a lot easier, bring your table linens to us for expert stain removal, professional laundering or dry cleaning. They’ll come back clean and wrinkle-free, ready for the next celebration.

(We’ll be closed tomorrow, see you Friday.)

Corduroy classic.

Autumn favorite, corduroy needs special cleaning care to preserve the rich velvety pile and prevent shrinking. If your corduroy garment is washable, check the label before throwing it in the wash. Never wash with lint producers like fleece, felt or terry. Use the right water temperature, wash like colors together and turn the garment inside out. Then air dry until barely damp, tumble dry for ten minutes at lowest temperature to fluff the nap. Pull from dryer and shake out, turn back right side out and brush nap to remove any lint or surface wrinkles. Or skip all that and let us clean your corduroy for like-new results.

You love jeans, we love jeans. No one’s saying to stop wearing them. But it’s too easy to pull on some denim day after day (after day). And we’re living at a time when there’s never been more choices for men’s trousers. Make sure your closet is stocked with casual pants like cotton chinos, joggers and a pair of well-cut sweatpants. Maybe even some tailored cargos. And round things out with some proper wool pants that can be dressed up with a jacket and tie or dressed down with some sneakers.

Washing Lulumon.

Comfy workout clothing comes with a price: stretchy and super-wicking technical fabrics hold onto odor longer. When the moisture wicks away, odor-causing chemicals remain on the non-absorbent surface of the fibers. Consumer Reports advises prompt washing after sweating, before bacteria can start multiplying. Pretreat synthetic workout clothes to break down body oils and grease. Separate the smelliest athletic gear – the stink can transfer to other clothes, especially synthetics. Choose a detergent that removes body oil in cold water and rewash if stubborn smells linger. Air dry or lay flat to preserve shape and fit. Avoid hot water, chlorine bleach or fabric softener.

Daylight Savings.

When Daylight Savings Time ends this Saturday night, winter’s right behind. Now’s the time to store away your warm weather clothes. It’s a good tradition and a great way to make closet space for the bulkier winter clothes. Just don’t add moth balls to your stored garments — instead use cedar chips or dried lavender. Be sure to clean everything thoroughly before storing—stains and yellowing can develop over time on garments that aren’t 100% clean.
