Dry Cleaning Ladies and Gents Wear The key to successful clothes care starts at home. All garments, especially natural fabrics like silk and linen should be cleaned soon after wear and stored with acid free tissue to avoid decolorisation. We pride ourselves on our ability to remove any stains that have not been tampered with. Contrary to what many disreputable dry cleaners may tell you there is no such thing as an irremovable stain. This is due to their lack of skill and knowledge! To prolong the life of a garment it is important that the pressing is of a nonabrasive form. An experienced presser will hand finish your garments from the inner side thus preventing the outside fabric from shinning and unnecessary wear. We finish the process by packing all garments in acid free tissue to preserve the end product thus keeping your cloths fresh and crisp. We can clean garments that other cleaners refuse like your most delicate designer wear such as Karen Millen and Escada. Curtains and upholstery A purposely designed curtain and upholstery programme bas been installed on our dry cleaning machine to enable all types of soft furnishings to be cleaned effectively eliminating all risk of shrinkage and unnecessary wear. After cleaning most curtains can relax to their pre-loomed state, which appears like shrinkage. We avoid this by steam pressing the curtains in a multifunctional steam cabinet inserting pencil pleats if desired. We strongly advise that curtains are cleaned at 18-month intervals and are vacuumed regularly. We also offer a stain guard service for your upholstery.
