Need your wedding dress cleaned and preserved? You've come to the right place!
Your wedding gown is one of your most precious possessions. It is a symbol of one of the most important events in your life and, such as, should be treated and cleaned with special care. Whether you are borrowing it from a relative or buying it new, your gown deserves your attention, both before and after the wedding.
PRESERVE YOUR WEDDING DRESS
Most brides want to preserve their dress as a keepsake, perhaps for their own daughter to wear on her wedding day. As professional cleaners, we recommend that you have the dress cleaned by us before storage. The dress may have invisible stains from food, beverage, and body oil. If these stains are not properly cleaned, they may become permanent. Therefore, it is important to point out any stains or spills to us before cleaning. Most wedding gowns have some sort of decorative trim. Again, it is important to inspect these trims with us prior to cleaning since many trims are not made to withstand the dry cleaning process. For example, many beads, glitter, sequins, and laces are attached to gowns with adhesives that dissolve during dry cleaning. Some beads and glitter are made of plastics or covered with surface coatings that are not solvent-resistant. In many of these cases, the trim becomes separated from the dress or altered in some way. In some cases, decorative trims yellow as their finished oxidize. An ivory or ecru trim may lose its colour and no longer match the gown if a dye component is lost in cleaning. Colour failures of this type are due to poor colourfastness of the dye, not to improper cleaning.
Please do not hesitate to call us at one of our locations for price estimates or any further questions.
