I queried a respected outing shop years ago about cleaning my

Worse than that, I'm told the dry cleaning fluid can leave fumes in
the bag that will kill you. The dry cleaner my mother took mine to it
refused to do it for that reason.


Does an "outing shop" have anything to do with the Aids Quilt?

Surely you jest! "Outing" means going "out" on a camping trip,
or hiking or kayaking or any kind of outdoor trip.
