Dry Cleaning FAQs & Tips

Dry Cleaning Tips

Have your garments dry cleaned regularly.
Bring in garments for professional care as soon as possible after staining occurs.
Discuss any stains with us and be sure to point out any light colored spills.
Avoid garment contact with liquids containing alcohol, such as perfume, which can cause color loss.
Protect your garments, especially silk, from excessive perspiration. Excessive perspiration can weaken silk fibers.
Allow deodorants and antiperspirants to dry completely before you dress.
Protect garments from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Do not iron stained garments, as heat can set some stains, making them harder or impossible to remove.
