Home - Cleaning Tips:

Here are a few general tips to help you extend the life of your clothes.

  • Bring your stained garments in to us immediately so that the stain does not have time to set and damage the garment. Make sure to let us know what the stain is prior to cleaning.
  • Dry cleaning is sometimes the only safe method for cleaning a fabric.

  • Never attempt to remove a spot at home with chemicals or water. You may inadvertently set the stain and make it impossible to remove.

  • Synthetic fibers have an affinity for oils. Dry cleaning is particularly effective at removing greasy, oily stains.

  • Finally, if you're cleaning a suit, bring in both pieces. In any cleaning process, colors may fade slightly. If dry cleaned separately, the pieces of your suit might not match.
