True Shanghai Stories

I'm continually amazed at how inept locals are in cleaning rugs and curtains. My doctor told me yesterday her ayi washed her curtains and they shrunk by 2 feet. Also, when she first arrived, the street shop dry cleaner washed her clothes with a pen still in the pocket and ruined all her expensive clothing. When she asked if SPAwash was affordable, I said, "Yes, compared to that!":-) 

Also a lady today had a Xialongbao juice stain on a good coat...told her I couldn't guarantee anything, but if anyone could get it out (and not ruin her coat in the process) we could...but to get it to us ASAP.
