Before dry cleaning, clothing was washed by dressing up a phalanx of backyard laundry scarecrows just before thunderstorms. Today's Groupon lets you do away with sopping straw men and clean your clothes the new-fashioned way—with science: for $15, you get $30 worth of dry cleaning at Tony’s Dry Cleaners in Upland.

The licensed professionals at Tony’s Dry Cleaners––who have more than 30 years of experience expurgating stains––make sullied vestments sparkle once again by using delicate equipment and waterless wizardry to clean fine garments. Erase ill-advised mocha tattoos from the sleeves of rebellious two-piece suits ($10) or bring in sweaters worn during sloppy-joe-juggling competitions for a thorough cleansing ($5.20). Dress shirts or blouses can be restored to pristine whiteness for important business meetings ($4.50), and hand-me-down prom dresses can shake off the dust and pre-nostalgic tears ($9). Excellent care and timely service ensure that clients can retrieve their clean-pressed orders quickly and in prodigious condition. Though not included in this Groupon, Tony’s Dry Cleaners also offers alteration, laundry, and pressing services.
