We identify your garments with a tag system, then sort them by type, fabric content, color, and cleaning method. Some garments may need to laundered, hand washes, or wetcleaned. Other specialty items such as leathers or furs require special care. Some garments may require some stain removal efforts before we clean them, and others may not. After cleaning, we check your clothes for any remaining stains that may not have come out in the regular cleaning process. This is called spotting or stain removal. Any lingering stains are removed as best as possible using the appropriate products. These items are then re-cleaned before we give them back to you.

Looking to pack up your winter wardrobe and store it for next year? As the styles of sweaters change, so do the fibers of this wardrobe staple. Sweaters are made from a variety of fibers, ranging from cotton and wool to silk, rayon, acrylic and more. Natural fibers, such as angora, mohair, cashmere, and Shetland are especially popular. To add to the variety many sweaters contain special decorative trims. Trims such as suede, leather, snakeskin, fur, sequins, and beads add to a sweater's special look. Caring for these delicate knits requires special attention. Check out our services: https://bit.ly/39kqN2L

Fun Fact: Dry cleaning uses fluids to remove soils and stains from fabric. The fluid contains little or no water and does not penetrate the fibers like water. Click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/39kqN2L

Starch or no starch? Starch and sizing additives can increase the firmness of fabrics, particularly on dress shirts. These additives can protect and harm shirts at the same time. Shirts undergo two types of abrasions. Flat abrasion occurs when the shirt rubs against another surface. Flex abrasion refers to the stretching of fibers when the wearer bends an elbow or otherwise stretches the material.... Starch helps protect shirts by enabling them to withstand higher degrees of flat abrasion. However, since starch stiffens the fibers and makes them less flexible, it reduces the shirt's ability to withstand flex abrasion. Starch's primary function is to add body or stiffness to a fabric resulting in little flexibility. This lack of flexibility causes the fabric to snap under extreme pressure rather than stretch, decreasing the fabric's tensile strength. It all depends on how you want your shirts to look vs. how long you want them to last. The life expectancy of a shirt can be shortened by the use of starches and sizings because these additives reduce the ability to bend, stretch, and straighten during use. Balancing out those negatives are the bonuses of having better whiteness retention, a crisper look, and increased stain resistance. https://bit.ly/39kqN2L

It is hard to believe that gasoline and kerosene were used to clean fabrics at one time. They made wonderful cleaning solvents for the materials then, but they were highly flammable and harsh for the skin. Click the link to learn about our Eco Cleaning! http://bit.ly/2MLlQH2

Did you know hidden stains can resurface after cleaning if not addressed prior to cleaning?! It's a whole lot easier to get rid of unwanted guests before they become permanent residents. Mysterious stains sometimes appear on clothes after a period of time in storage. Faint stains may also appear worse or stains "invisible" to the naked eye may show up only after the garment is cleaned. Making sure clothing is properly cleaned before storage is the best defense against these problems. This is true for all garments including wedding gowns. Club soda and water are good short-term solutions to stains, but they do not remove all of the staining material. It is risky to store a garment that has not been fully cleaned. Be sure to tell the counter staff about any stains or spills when dropping off clothes. https://bit.ly/39kqN2L
