*Gasp! Did we just suggest you pay someone to do your laundry for you? Isn't that cheating somehow? Absolutely not! In fact, it is one of the smartest things you can do for your family, schedule, and budget. Here's why it's absolutely worth it to have 24-Hour Laundry Zone handle your loads.

The Importance of the Placket

Whether you're single or a household of five, laundry is a never ending chore that simply takes too much time. Even if every person in the home is responsible for their own laundry, that means each person is spending hours each week on this task. Many families have to either choose between doing some laundry every single day, or taking an entire day each week to do it all at once. Think about all that time being tied up!

Imagine instead that you cut that time down to just a fraction of what it is now. Simply follow this easy process:

• Gather your laundry into one bag
• Take it to our 24-hour drop-off location on your way to work or when it’s convenient for you
• Pick it up on the way home
• Put your clean, neatly-folded clothes away

Our team can get a week's worth of laundry done for you in just one night. We have enough machines and manpower to knock out this never ending chore while you spend your time on other important things.

It Doesn't Cost As Much As You Think

If you factor in all the different costs associated with doing your laundry yourself, you'll be surprised at the actual cost. We encourage you to spend a little bit of time factoring how much you spend on water, power, soaps, and softeners. Those costs alone might surprise you. Then, consider how much your time is worth. For every hour you spend handling your laundry, how much could you be earning?

The cost of sending out your laundry isn't much different than managing it yourself. Even if you spend a little more on the service, you are buying back valuable time. Instead of considering this an increase in expense, see it as putting your time to more profitable use. Imagine putting all those freed-up hours to use on your side gig or small business. When you think about it this way, you can actually come out ahead financially!

Here is what you need to know about the Million Dollar Collar:

The Importance of the Placket

Not sure what a placket is? It is the center section of your shirt where the buttons and holes are located. This is the foundational core of your dress shirt, but it is often overlooked. This is especially true when wearing a jacket without a tie. The placket is literally the centerpiece of your look, and frames your face.

Why Do I Need the Million Dollar Collar?

A good quality shirt usually features a strong placket that stands upright, even when the top 2-3 buttons are left open. The problem is that over time, the placket will begin to weaken and sag. This leaves you with a sloppy collar. This detracts from the crisp look of the rest of your suit.

The Million Dollar Collar eliminates this saggy, floppy collar and gives you a decisive, professional look. It creates a clean line from the very tip of the placket through the first closed button. It does all of this without being too stiff. This allows for the natural movement of the placket and continuing comfort for your neck.

How Does the Million Dollar Collar Work?

You're probably familiar with collar stays in new dress shirts. These are the small, plastic tabs inserted into the wings of your collar to help hold shape. The Million Dollar Collar works on the same principle with a few variations for its special purpose. It is a small rod that is permanently placed in the upper placket, providing stability.

Unlike collar stays, the insert is placed permanently. It has to be permanent because the placket does not have access like some collar wings. An easy 3-step process is all it takes to install. You can also have 24-Hour Laundry Zone do it for you!

Your Shirt is Still Washable

Collar stays have to be removed for washing and then re-inserted at each wearing. Because the Million Dollar Collar is permanently installed, you may wonder how it stands up to cleaning. The insert is created out of a proprietary blend of synthetics that combine flexibility, sturdiness, and durability. It is able to stand up to temperatures up to 700°, making it 100% capable of being dry cleaned.
