DLI believes that gender-based pricing has no place in the drycleaning industry. The price of a garment should not be based on
1. The gender of the person who brings the garment in.
2. The gender of the person who wears the garment.
3. The size of the garment unless it is so small or so large that it is outside the range of normal sizes.
The price should be based on the processing needed to return a professional garment to the consumer.
Any garment that requires special handling may demand a higher price. Items that have care labels that say "Hand Wash," "Wash Separately," or "Dry Flat" will need extra care.
Some other garment characteristics that may require special handling to watch out for are: angora, beads, bias cut or large collars, dark or bright colors, elastic cuffs or waists, fragile buttons, heat sensitive fabrics, knits, military creases, pleats, sequins, and unstable dyes.
