What You Should Know

Garments drycleaned regularly last longer. Accumulations of perspiration, grit and dust particles can shorten the life of your garment. Pressing a soiled garment can permanently set stains which may not be obvious to the eye. Delaying drycleaning after a garment has been stained can cause the stain to become permanently set. Garments which are drycleaned will last longer than if they are washed.

Bring garments in for professional cleaning as soon as possible after staining occurs. Stains and soil left too long can be impossible to remove and will shorten the life of your garment.

Discuss any stains with us. Be especially sure to point our light-colored or invisible spills, such as those from soft drinks, fruit juices or white wine.

Always apply perfumes, hair sprays, lotions, antiperspirants and other toiletries BEFORE getting dressed. Since these products can contain ingredients that adversely effect some dyes, allow sufficient time for these products to dry.

Protect your garments from excessive perspiration, especially silks, because it can cause many dyes to discolor.

Have matching pieces cleaned together, including bedspreads and draperies, so that any color loss will be uniform and pieces will still match.

Protect your garments from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Keep in mind that even indoor lighting can affect some dyes.

Don't press stained or soiled clothes. The heat may set some stains.

Always remove the plastic bag we use to protect your clothes in transit; these bags can "smother" the garment causing moisture and gases to be trapped, which could result in discoloration.
