Before dry cleaning, clothing was washed by dressing up a phalanx of backyard laundry scarecrows just before thunderstorms. Today's deal lets you do away with sopping strawmen and clean your clothes the new-fashioned way—with science. For $20, new clients get $50 worth of dry cleaning or laundry delivery service from Beach Cleaners, located in the Ponte Vedra Square shopping center and servicing the greater Jacksonville and beach area.

Beach Cleaners' pick-up and delivery service couldn't possibly be simpler and more convenient, unless Benjamin Franklin invented a simpler and more convenient way of doing laundry using a horse, 28 tallytoos of whipping yarn, and two bushels of barley sugar. Schedule laundry or dry-cleaning pick-up by phone or online. Then toss grubby garments in one of Beach Cleaners' supplied bags (call to have bag dropped off at your house prior to first service) and leave the bag on your welcome stoop. Pick-ups generally happen on Monday, and clean laundry re-appears on Wednesday, but Beach Cleaners can accommodate your schedule if you make a special request.

Beach Cleaners can dry-clean or launder sullied shirts, formal wear, dresses, comforters, tablecloths, drapes, suede, leather, area rugs, or teenage diary entries. Standard shirt laundering generally costs $2, pant pampering $5.50, suit saving $10, blouse babying $5.50, coat coddling $5.50, and tie treating $4.50. Beach Cleaners also does alterations, will recycle your old hangers, and will pick up and take away your Goodwill donations. This Groupon can also be used over multiple deliveries, giving you the nail-biting option of dry-cleaning one of your lucky party shirts repeatedly or laundering all of your lucky party shirts once.

The $10 coupon on Beach Cleaners' website cannot be combined with this Groupon.
