BATON ROUGE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - In a move that shocked half the planet this month Hasbro announced they would be replacing the iron game piece in their popular Monopoly game.
The move, however, apparently didn't dismay everyone.
"Replacing the iron is exactly what dry cleaning and laundry services do," said Mary Scalco. Scalco is CEO of the Dry cleaning and Laundry Institute, a trade association for professional dry cleaners and launderers.
"We were overjoyed to learn there would soon be one less iron in millions of homes around the world, even if it is a miniature replica game piece," Scalco said. "Way to go, Hasbro!"
In today's world, people want to look good but they don't want to have to iron their clothes to do it. Dry cleaning and Laundry professionals help eliminate the need to do tedious ironing. Readers may identify a professional dry cleaning or laundry service in their area at www.DLIonline.org.
