Many millions of Americans, that's who.

From 2004 through '09 I either wore dress slacks or a suit and tie every working day. When the last thing you want to do when you get home after a long day is iron a shirt (which is often, I assure you), using the local cleaners to do your dress shirts, knowing they'll be properly cleaned, starched and pressed is a big deal.

Think of all the people in this country that have to wear a suit and tie, or even just dress slacks and a shirt and tie to work each day.

They are the ones who see a dry cleaner once a week, on average.
