A friend of mine, a leading barrister, once went out with one of his solicitor's clerks. They had regular phone-box trysts (I think this was before the arrival of contemporary open-plan phone boxes). Her family were in the dry-cleaning business.

All I remember about this short-lived relationship was this piece of dry-cleaning trivia she shared with my friend: pillows are more than 50% dustmites.

This random memory brought to you by changing the bed in my spare room in readiness for my new house guest (winging her way from Oz as we speak).
