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 from Pilgrim Cleaners. Today's deal is valid for pickup and delivery service. Click here to see if your home falls within Pilgrim Cleaners' service area.

Pilgrim Cleaners offers a comprehensive cleaning approach that refreshes garments and can extend their closet lives well into their golden years. Cleaners pore over dingy clothes before pouring distilled solvent over them, employing a two-bath process that cleans clothes tenderly and leaves them looking as new and crisp as a gangster baby's three-piece suit. The attentive and always-diligent dry cleaners then step in to hand-finish the job, canvassing garments for misplaced buttons and uranium stains. As with all dry-cleaning and mustache-trimming services, prices vary according to the size of the job, ranging from $5.99 for shirts and pants, to $11.95 for dresses.

A helpful FAQ page eases precleaning jitters, addressing queries such as, “What is the hardest stain to remove?” or “I’ve put my head through the staircase spindles, now what?”, while also offering a guarantee that any damaged clothing will be fully compensated for its injuries.
