FAQs

Dry cleaning is the process of cleaning clothing and textiles without the use of water. Even though it doesn’t sound like it, Dry cleaning allows garments to be safely cared for in an efficient and thorough manner without losing their shape or integrity.

Our dry cleaning process uses environmentally friendly solvents and methods to lift stains and deodorize items that would typically be damaged by washing in water. We strive to use newer technologies such as wet cleaning and have a committed focus to recycling and using recyclable inputs in all of areas of the business to reduce our footprint on the environment.

When in doubt check the tag. If it says Dry Clean Only it means it. If you’re unsure, items that are made up of or contain natural animal fibers like wool, leather or fur should never be cleaned at home. Some man made fabrics that are extremely sensitive such as Acetate, Rayon, and Polyester should also be professionally cleaned to keep the garment’s longevity and fabric quality. Or if you’re concerned about an item shrinking or losing shape via traditional home cleaning methods our specialists will make sure it is cared for exactly how it needs to be.

Absolutely not. If there is a stain on your garment, especially one with a Dry Clean Only label, trying to remove it at home can make it worse or impossible for us to get out at all. Be sure to let us know about the stain. When, where and what it is will give us the best chance of removing it.

Cleaning costs are dependent on the item itself. While most orders will fall under our standard price table there are several factors our detailers take into consideration when inspecting your item and then directing it to the correct department for cleaning. Couture brands, no matter the item, always require special care and finishing due to fabric contents and design elements. Other reasons your item may not fall under our standard pricing would be if it required special attention due to decorative elements, an overall delicate state due to age or fabric itself and heavy or difficult to remove staining.
