Do most of you get your shirts and trousers laundered outside by professionals or just wash it at home in washing machine and iron it yourself... Is it worth spending so much money on laundry cleaners shop?

Home. Not worth $2 / shirt / wk

I have a reasonably price dry cleaner in my neighborhood. They dry clean and fold (for easier packing). I drop off and pick up Saturdays. Easy as it gets - worth every penny.

Used to spend better part of Sunday night ironing / starching until replaced wardrobe with non-iron shirts. Try a couple.

Well it depends... I have enough Shirts to last two weeks. Going to Zips Dry Cleaners every two weeks costs me about 50$ on average and they iron and starch my shirts. 100$ a month for my sanity and not having to iron is worth it IMO

Home, mainly cause it’s cheaper. Have heard dry cleaning shirts isn’t great for them long term (I️ think it’s the starch); don’t know how true that is and don’t think it would deter me of I️ was less price sensitive. Wool trousers obviously get dry cleaned.

Home because they keep losing my socks. And I️ feel like they’re stealing other shit too.

$1.25/shirt. Definitely worth it to have mine done.

Not worth my time to do it myself. Shirts go to the dry cleaners. Also sweaters.

Dry cleaners for me. Saves the hassle of wash and iron.

I’m one of the only attorneys in my Texas firm that had electricity, internet, and water this week. I was warm and comfortable but still could not get any work done because things going on in the outside world are distracting. When I try to work, I feel like I can barely hold a thought in my mind before I get the “wait, what am I doing again?” feeling. I just want to know, I’m not the only one that struggled this week to do any work, right?

How are you guys thinking about booking appointments for 1st time H1B stamping? Every time I open the site, there are no slots available for 2022. I’m sure majority of you have faced the same. Also, heard that some people have reached out to agents and got their booking done via them. Is that even a safe option? At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?
