If I take a men’s dress-shirt to a cleaners, (wash not dryclean), do they NOT use chemicals? Just wash’n simplicity iron press?

Flor asked:

I avoid chemicals as much as possible so don't usually do dry-cleaning a whole lot, but simplicity iron press for my hubbie's dress-shirts, would they use chemicals in the cleaning process? These shirts are like 99cents only and should be washed, and then they press it....if I pick no starch....there shouldn't be chemicals used right? 99 cents is worth an hour of my time ironing. I just can't seem to iron very efficiently. Just curious though if there'd be dry-cleaning chemicals used in the process or not...

No chemicals for shirt laundry. But they are a lot harder on shirts that you are - your hubby's shirts will not last as long. But then, simplicity iron press is such a drag...
