Five Must Do's for Back-to-School Shopping

Back-to-School shopping

Kids are heading back-to-school, which means the annual back-to-school shopping trip! Here are a few tips to make shopping a success.


1. Before you start, take inventory. Donate clothes that are too small or unwanted.
2. Know the dress code, even for public schools, before shopping.
3. Stick to a budget.
4. Image and peer acceptance are very important. While trendy “name brand” items can be expensive, do not discount them entirely.
5. Make a day of it! Take time out and have fun!


With these tips and a solid game plan, back-to-school shopping can be an enjoyable experience. Of course, once you’ve found some new favorites, keep them looking great by bringing them to Flair for regular cleaning. We are located at 1900 Artesia Blvd. (One block East of Aviation). We’re open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information visit us online at www.flaircleaners.com.
