Keeping your whites white when doing laundry at home can be a real challenge. I’m going to help dispel some myths and give some useful tips to keep your white garments looking their best!
Sort loads by color. Darks, lights, and whites. By washing white items alone in the laundry, you will prevent other colors from bleeding onto your precious whites. Slowly over time, when you mix loads, those other colors will bleed onto the whites and turn them into a dingy grey color. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure here.
Use warm water and detergent in each load. Modern laundry detergents have enzymes in them that work best in warm water. Let the washing machine do its job in keeping your clothes clean, bright and white.
Don’t put a garment with a stain on it into the dryer. The heat will set the stain, sometimes permanently. Take a quick look at each item before you throw it into the dryer.
Pre-treat spots and stains you don’t think will come out on their own.
Never use chlorine bleach on your whites. Actually, never use chlorine bleach on any clothes. It turns white items yellow (it can actually burn the fibers) and it turns dark items white. Instead use oxyclean. If yellow or light brown stains remain after washing, do an oxyclean soak (follow the directions on the package). We soak a few white items every day to keep them looking great.
Wash your whites before they are heavily soiled. It’s much easier to remove a little bit of dirt each time you clean than it is to remove a lot ground in dirt all at once.
If you follow all of these tips, you will keep your whites looking great for a long time. Unfortunately  some things will slowly turn grey no matter what you do. This is because they weren’t white to begin with. Clothing manufacturers sometimes use optical brighteners to make some things look white. It’s basically a trick to the human eye because the optical brighteners wash out over time and the garments return to their natural color – usually a dingy white. We use a commercial wet cleaning system that has optical brighteners built in which keeps them from washing out in the first place

As a professional dry cleaner, I would like to see you bring all of your spots and stains directly to us. This way the spots will have the highest probability of coming out. I realize that just isn’t going to happen though. I’ve put together a quick guide for removing spots and stains at home from things you already know are safe to wash at home (fabrics like cotton). As always, read the care label before doing anything, test for colorfastness on colored garments and finally, I am not responsible for what you do with the information in this quick guide.

As a rule of thumb, most stains can be classified into a couple simple categories. If it grows (from the ground), use vinegar to remove the spot. If it comes from the body (blood, for example), use ammonia to remove the spot. Based on this rule we can mix up a couple spotting bottles to keep in the laundry room (be sure to label them).

What you need:
2 spray bottles
Ammonia
Vinegar
Laundry Soap
OxyClean

If It Grows
If it grows refers to things that grow in the ground such as fruits, coffee (without additives), wine(grapes), and others. In the first spray bottle, fill a quarter with vinegar and the rest with water. Mark this bottle appropriately so you know what is in there.

From The Body
This refers to stains that occur from the body like blood and perspiration. In the second spray bottle, fill one half with laundry soap, 1-3 ounces of ammonia and fill the rest with water. This formula also works great on general dirt. Mark this bottle appropriately so you know what is in there. For blood, keep the water cold throughout the entire process.

Pre-Spotting is Key
The trick to proper stain removal is to pre-spot problem areas before you wash them. This will take out 90% of common stains. To properly pre-spot you need to work the proper solution into the stain without causing chafing or wear. The best way to do this at home is with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Your goal is to work the solution in, not to necessarily work the spot out – let the washing machine do that. Let the solution sit for 15-30 min and then wash as you normally would (with a load, not by itself).

Heat Sets Stains
If the stain remains after washing, hang dry the garment; do not put in the dryer. By putting the garment in the dryer, you will make removing the stain 10 times more difficult.

If The Stain Remains
Oxyclean is a great slow reducing bleach. It doesn’t contain any chlorine (or the brand name Chlorox) and is safe for most washable garments. Soaking a garment in OxyClean will help squelch any remains of most stains. Follow the directions on the package and follow up with washing. At this point if the stain is still there, it’s time to call in the professionals (remember to air dry again if it still isn’t all the way clean).
Professional Stain Removal
A professional dry cleaners may be required for some stains. A true professional (not a discount cleaners) will have access to many more spotting agents than you do and have the experience necessary. Stains such as ink, grease or oil, and dye should not be attempted at home. Further, fabrics such as silk, wool and leather should always be cleaned by a professional (even if the care label says they are safe for washing, stain removal should only be completed by a dry cleaners).

What is the difference between dry cleaning and regular washing
Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using an organic solvent other than water. Special solvents and soaps are used so as not to harm fabrics and dyes that will not withstand the effects of ordinary soap and water. This process is gentler than regular washing because it reduces the possibility of shrinkage and/or color loss.
What causes buttons to crack and fall apart
Some buttons are made out of materials that can’t withstand normal dry-cleaning or washing procedures. Our policy is to identify and remove these types of buttons before cleaning. Over time, laundered shirt buttons may crack due to the heat & pressure used to properly press the shirt. When this happens, we replace them.
How do I protect my winter clothes from moths
The most important thing to do is to clean your clothes before storing them. Moths are attracted to any food or stains that are left on your clothes. Moths are also attracted to natural fibers such as wool, silk, etc., so we suggest that they be stored in mothproof bags.
Why can't all spots or stains be removed
Some spots adhere to the fabric or dye in such a way that the spot removal process needed to break down the stain may also break down the fabric or dye, thereby ruining the garment. When we discover this type of stain, our policy is to stop attempting to remove it before any damage to the garment occurs.

Professional dry cleaners specialize in stain removal and expert pressing that restores your clothes to a clean, crisp like-new look, which cannot be accomplished with a home dry cleaning kit. Home drying kits can remove some wrinkles and certain water based stains, but are ineffective in removing ground-in soils and oil-based stains.
The care label is only required by law to provide one proper way to clean the garment. Most garments are dry cleanable, which is the preferred method and is a gentler process. However, depending on how the garment is constructed, dyed and finished, it may need to be wet cleaned or washed. When in doubt, we test for the safest way to clean your garment.
The bags are provided to protect the garments from dirt and dust until you get them home. It is best to remove the plastic bag and then place your garments in a climate controlled vented closet.
These types of garments are sensitive to perfume, deodorant, perspiration, hair spray, food and beverages. Avoid prolonged contact with any of these substances, which can result in discoloration of the fabric. We recommend cleaning after each wear. Also, have all matching pieces of an outfit cleaned together to maintain consistency of appearance.
Removal is usually easier if the garment is brought in promptly with no home remedies applied. Home remedies such as hair spray, only makes the stain worse by creating a glue stain. Ink stains come in a variety of colors and complexions and might be water or oil based. Professional spotting techniques are the most effective way to remove ink stains.
While there are many reasons to send your garments to a professional dry cleaners, the most important reason is to prolong the life of your garments while keeping them looking their best. One of the properties of dry cleaning solvent is that it is much gentler than water on your garments. Another property is that it cleans grease and dirt out of garments much better than with water.

Take caution when using home remedies. It is usually easier for us to remove an untreated stain. We recommend that you bring it in the cleaners as soon as possible. Any stain becomes more difficult to remove the longer it remains on the garment. Heat can set stains, so it’s best not to leave them in a hot car all day before taking them to the cleaners. Be sure to point out all stains to your dry cleaner.

Some coats and jackets are made of bonded material. Bonding is when the manufacturer glues two or more fabrics together to produce a certain look and feel. Over time, the glue eventually breaks down leaving a puckered appearance when it separates. To see if a coat is bonded, lift up the inner lining and take notice of the backside of the outer material. If it is not the same material and has a foam backing or a mesh material, then it is bonded.

Wedding dress cleaning and preservation Charlotte nc


Here at Sunnys Dry Cleaners we recently cared for a vintage silk satin wedding dress that was stored improperly and sustained mold damage along with the more common symptoms of poor storage – yellowing and wrinkles. I have included 3 before and after pictures including the front, the back and the underskirt. It is important to note that the photos of this dress were not retouched at all and that they were taken in the same spot with the same lighting conditions before and after we restored the wedding gown to its natural state.
Front
The top half of the wedding gown is lace and the bottom is silk. This wedding gown was hand made some time in the 1950’s. You can see the mold around the neck and towards the bottom a little bit. If you click on the picture and zoom in, you can see there are little specs of mold all over this gown, especially on the silk. You can also see the prominent color change after we performed the restoration on this vintage wedding gown.
Back
The mold is more visible on the back of this wedding gown, especially on the lower right portion of the lace. Again, on the back you can see how we were able to remove the yellowing that has occurred on the silk and lace of this vintage wedding dress.
Underskirt
The mold is most visible on the silk portion of the gown’s underskirt. You can see that removing the mold did not do any damage to the weave of the silk satin.
This vintage wedding gown restoration was performed at Sunnys Dry Cleaners in Charlotte, NC.

I’ve said in the past that the paperboard boxes used in our wedding gown preservation process are lignin-free and acid-free, but what does this really mean?
Sally Conant, the Director of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists puts it this way, “Lignin is a naturally occurring substance in trees and other plants.  It is acidic.  When paper or paperboard is made from wood pulp, more acid is added to the mix to facilitate the paper-making process.  A neutralizer can be added to the mix to bring the pH to neutral, but the neutralizer is water-soluble, and the paper or paperboard can re-acidify if it gets wet or is stored in a damp area.  Acid-free means all acidic content has been removed from the mix, and the final product cannot re-acidify because it contained no acid from the beginning.”
Put another way, pH neutral boxes (not what we use) can re-acidify due to moisture in the air or contact with water. Acid-free paperboard boxes cannot acidify on their own because they contain no acids. Why is this important to preserving your wedding gown? Acidic preservation chests will cause your dress to yellow over time. Acid-free chests are one tool we use to properly preserve your wedding dress in order to stand the test of time.

Dry Cleaning in Charlotte NC | Alterations Near me Charlotte NC

If you’re like me, you hope your favorite button down dress shirt will last forever. Unfortunately, they are typically made of cotton, not Kevlar, so they do wear out and break down over time. Some of the problems you commonly encounter can be fixed while other symptoms indicate it’s time to retire the shirt and purchase a new one. The International Fabricare Institute expressed that cotton button-down shirts are designed to withstand 52 wearings and cleanings. That’s only once per week for a year. If you’ve had your favorite shirt for 5 years and you’ve worn it every other week, it’s living on borrowed time so treat it kindly. Below are some of the more common problems with laundered shirts.
Here you can see the edges and tips of this collar are wearing out. What causes this? It’s normal wear and tear caused by wearing and cleaning the shirt. Also, tips can wear faster than the rest of the shirt if it’s a straight tip collar (vs. a button down collar). A typical dress shirt is made to withstand 52 wearings (and subsequent cleanings). If you notice any of these things before that time, talk to the manufacturer or cleaner of your shirts.
The picture on the right shows a torn sleeve on a men’s dress shirt just above the sleeve placket. Closer inspection shows the area that isn’t torn but rather is worn; it’s a yarn failure caused by rubbing or chafing from the elbow of the wearer. Don’t believe me? While wearing a button down shirt, bend your arm and look where your elbow is – it’s right above the sleeve placket.

Fading Stripes on Striped Shirts

Yarn Failure is most common on striped shirts; you’ll see one of the colors in the stripe give out while the other holds strong (it sometimes looks like fading stripes).Looking at the inset of the picture above to the right, you can see the yarn is giving way and will create a hole soon (I know this shirt isn’t striped, but it still illustrates yarn failure).

Glue on Blue Wrinkle Free Shirts

The shiny tips of this dress shirt are caused by the construction of the shirt. When shirt collars are made, they are glued together, then sewn. When washed, the glue is not supposed to be visible. With some of the new wrinkle-free shirts, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes you can scratch it off, but a quality dry cleaner can sometimes remove these for you without abrasion (sometimes there is nothing that can be done).

Front Shrinkage

The front of the shirt can shrink along the buttons, button holes, or both – it looks like it’s all bunched up. The cause is either not using material that was pre-shrunk from the factory or using the wrong kind of thread to make the shirt (the thread shrinks, but not the body of the shirt).

Greying

White shirts turn grey over time because they weren’t actually white to begin with, they’re a greyish color masked by optical brighteners. As you wear and wash the shirt, the optical brighteners are washed out with the dirt and stains leaving the shirt looking dull and grey. If you shirt is 100% cotton, and in good shape otherwise, it’s possible to add new optical brighteners, a professional dry cleaner will be able to give you more information.

Yellow Spot(s)

Typically a yellow spot is an oil or grease spot that’s been ironed or pressed. The oil can be from food (salad dressing is a big source) a door hinge. Typically the oil is clear until heat is applied, then it turns yellow. It’s tough to get these spots out, but most good dry cleaners will know how. Sometimes yellow spots can be caused by soap that isn’t washed out. The solution here is to simply re-wash the shirt.

Buttons

Broken buttons are the enemy of every dry cleaners. They typically crack when heat is applied to them (not necessarily from the force of the press). Some buttons are more susceptible to this than others, every shirt button is created differently. A quality dry cleaners will replace those broken buttons for free before you even get your shirt back (but hey, even the best ones miss one once and while which is why we created our button guarantee – if we miss a broken or missing button on your laundered shirts, we’ll fix the broken button and clean two additional shirts for free!).
Bring your Laundered Shirt in to Sunnys Dry Cleaners and we’ll treat your shirts right. We’re in North Tryon Area, NC (across UNCC from WT Harris Blvd), Charlotte, North Carolina (at the Corner of Tropical Delights Charlotte Jamaican Restaurant, Great Clips and Kohl’s) .

Now, what do all of these things have in common? They leave stains in your clothes – but that doesn’t mean they have to be permanent. The top stains we see in the fall are Ketchup, Mustard, Grass, Dirt, and Pumpkin.
What you need:
Good Laundry Detergent
Bucket
Spoon
Scissors (just kidding!)
Vinegar
Oxyclean
Access to washing machine
Washing Procedure
1. You will need to separate colors and read your care labels before you start.
2. Pre-treat any of these stains with a bit of laundry detergent mixed with a bit of water (1:1 is good) and then rub in with the back of a spoon. This puts the soap where its needed most without damaging the fibers in the garment.
3. Wait 15-30 minutes after pre-treating to let the detergent soak in.
4. Wash like you normally would.
5. Inspect before you dry. Never put an item in the dryer that still has a stain. Either continue working on it wet or allow to hang dry.
The above process will remove 80% of the fall stains you are working on. The magic here is pre-treating. For those “20%” stains, keep working (except for dirt stains, for dirt skip to step 9):
6. Mix a solution of water and vinegar (10 parts water to 1 part vinegar).
7. Test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area.
8. Soak the garment for an hour or so, then wash again.
That should remove half of the remaining stains. If the stain persists, keep going:
9. Soak in Oxyclean (read the directions).
Using this guide, you should be able to remove 95% of fall stains at home. 5% of stains will never come out. Remember to always read the care label first. If you are uncomfortable doing any of the above steps or if you lack the necessary tools, bring your items to a professional dry cleaners for proper care.

IMG_5373-810x608What Everybody Ought to Know About Lignin and Wedding Gown Preservation

I’ve said in the past that the paperboard boxes used in our wedding gown preservation process are lignin-free and acid-free, but what does this really mean?
Sally Conant, the Director of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists puts it this way, “Lignin is a naturally occurring substance in trees and other plants.  It is acidic.  When paper or paperboard is made from wood pulp, more acid is added to the mix to facilitate the paper-making process.  A neutralizer can be added to the mix to bring the pH to neutral, but the neutralizer is water-soluble, and the paper or paperboard can re-acidify if it gets wet or is stored in a damp area.  Acid-free means all acidic content has been removed from the mix, and the final product cannot re-acidify because it contained no acid from the beginning.”
Put another way, pH neutral boxes (not what we use) can re-acidify due to moisture in the air or contact with water. Acid-free paperboard boxes cannot acidify on their own because they contain no acids. Why is this important to preserving your wedding gown? Acidic preservation chests will cause your dress to yellow over time. Acid-free chests are one tool we use to properly preserve your wedding dress in order to stand the test of time.

Wedding Dress Cleaning and Preservation
Keeping your whites white when doing laundry at home can be a real challenge. I’m going to help dispel some myths and give some useful tips to keep your white garments looking their best!
Sort loads by color. Darks, lights, and whites. By washing white items alone in the laundry, you will prevent other colors from bleeding onto your precious whites. Slowly over time, when you mix loads, those other colors will bleed onto the whites and turn them into a dingy grey color. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure here.
Use warm water and detergent in each load. Modern laundry detergents have enzymes in them that work best in warm water. Let the washing machine do its job in keeping your clothes clean, bright and white.
Don’t put a garment with a stain on it into the dryer. The heat will set the stain, sometimes permanently. Take a quick look at each item before you throw it into the dryer.
Pre-treat spots and stains you don’t think will come out on their own.
Never use chlorine bleach on your whites. Actually, never use chlorine bleach on any clothes. It turns white items yellow (it can actually burn the fibers) and it turns dark items white. Instead use oxyclean. If yellow or light brown stains remain after washing, do an oxyclean soak (follow the directions on the package). We soak a few white items every day to keep them looking great.
Wash your whites before they are heavily soiled. It’s much easier to remove a little bit of dirt each time you clean than it is to remove a lot ground in dirt all at once.
If you follow all of these tips, you will keep your whites looking great for a long time. Unfortunately  some things will slowly turn grey no matter what you do. This is because they weren’t white to begin with. Clothing manufacturers sometimes use optical brighteners to make some things look white. It’s basically a trick to the human eye because the optical brighteners wash out over time and the garments return to their natural color – usually a dingy white. We use a commercial wet cleaning system that has optical brighteners built in which keeps them from washing out in the first place

Common Problems with Men’s Dress Shirts

If you’re like me, you hope your favorite button down dress shirt will last forever. Unfortunately, they are typically made of cotton, not Kevlar, so they do wear out and break down over time. Some of the problems you commonly encounter can be fixed while other symptoms indicate it’s time to retire the shirt and purchase a new one. The International Fabricare Institute expressed that cotton button-down shirts are designed to withstand 52 wearings and cleanings. That’s only once per week for a year. If you’ve had your favorite shirt for 5 years and you’ve worn it every other week, it’s living on borrowed time so treat it kindly. Below are some of the more common problems with laundered shirts.
Here you can see the edges and tips of this collar are wearing out. What causes this? It’s normal wear and tear caused by wearing and cleaning the shirt. Also, tips can wear faster than the rest of the shirt if it’s a straight tip collar (vs. a button down collar). A typical dress shirt is made to withstand 52 wearings (and subsequent cleanings). If you notice any of these things before that time, talk to the manufacturer or cleaner of your shirts.

Household Items Dry Cleaning in Charlotte NC | Alterations Near me Charlotte NC

Designer Purse & Handbag Cleaning in Charlotte, NC.JPG
If It Grows
If it grows refers to things that grow in the ground such as fruits, coffee (without additives), wine(grapes), and others. In the first spray bottle, fill a quarter with vinegar and the rest with water. Mark this bottle appropriately so you know what is in there.

From The Body
This refers to stains that occur from the body like blood and perspiration. In the second spray bottle, fill one half with laundry soap, 1-3 ounces of ammonia and fill the rest with water. This formula also works great on general dirt. Mark this bottle appropriately so you know what is in there. For blood, keep the water cold throughout the entire process.

Pre-Spotting is Key
The trick to proper stain removal is to pre-spot problem areas before you wash them. This will take out 90% of common stains. To properly pre-spot you need to work the proper solution into the stain without causing chafing or wear. The best way to do this at home is with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Your goal is to work the solution in, not to necessarily work the spot out – let the washing machine do that. Let the solution sit for 15-30 min and then wash as you normally would (with a load, not by itself).

Heat Sets Stains
If the stain remains after washing, hang dry the garment; do not put in the dryer. By putting the garment in the dryer, you will make removing the stain 10 times more difficult.

If The Stain Remains
Oxyclean is a great slow reducing bleach. It doesn’t contain any chlorine (or the brand name Chlorox) and is safe for most washable garments. Soaking a garment in OxyClean will help squelch any remains of most stains. Follow the directions on the package and follow up with washing. At this point if the stain is still there, it’s time to call in the professionals (remember to air dry again if it still isn’t all the way clean).

Professional Stain Removal
A professional dry cleaners may be required for some stains. A true professional (not a discount cleaners) will have access to many more spotting agents than you do and have the experience necessary. Stains such as ink, grease or oil, and dye should not be attempted at home. Further, fabrics such as silk, wool and leather should always be cleaned by a professional (even if the care label says they are safe for washing, stain removal should only be completed by a dry cleaners).

  • Why dry clean something instead of washing it at home?
    While there are many reasons to send your garments to a professional dry cleaners, the most important reason is to prolong the life of your garments while keeping them looking their best. One of the properties of dry cleaning solvent is that it is much gentler than water on your garments. Another property is that it cleans grease and dirt out of garments much better than with water.
     
  • What do I do if I get a stain on my clothes?
    Take caution when using home remedies. It is usually easier for us to remove an untreated stain. We recommend that you bring it in the cleaners as soon as possible. Any stain becomes more difficult to remove the longer it remains on the garment. Heat can set stains, so it’s best not to leave them in a hot car all day before taking them to the cleaners. Be sure to point out all stains to your dry cleaner.
  • What causes puckering in certain areas of my jacket/coat after cleaning?
    Some coats and jackets are made of bonded material. Bonding is when the manufacturer glues two or more fabrics together to produce a certain look and feel. Over time, the glue eventually breaks down leaving a puckered appearance when it separates. To see if a coat is bonded, lift up the inner lining and take notice of the backside of the outer material. If it is not the same material and has a foam backing or a mesh material, then it is bonded.

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using an organic solvent other than water. Special solvents and soaps are used so as not to harm fabrics and dyes that will not withstand the effects of ordinary soap and water. This process is gentler than regular washing because it reduces the possibility of shrinkage and/or color loss.
Some buttons are made out of materials that can’t withstand normal dry-cleaning or washing procedures. Our policy is to identify and remove these types of buttons before cleaning. Over time, laundered shirt buttons may crack due to the heat & pressure used to properly press the shirt. When this happens, we replace them.
The most important thing to do is to clean your clothes before storing them. Moths are attracted to any food or stains that are left on your clothes. Moths are also attracted to natural fibers such as wool, silk, etc., so we suggest that they be stored in mothproof bags.
Some spots adhere to the fabric or dye in such a way that the spot removal process needed to break down the stain may also break down the fabric or dye, thereby ruining the garment. When we discover this type of stain, our policy is to stop attempting to remove it before any damage to the garment occurs.

Here at Sunnys Dry Cleaners we recently cared for a vintage silk satin wedding dress that was stored improperly and sustained mold damage along with the more common symptoms of poor storage – yellowing and wrinkles. I have included 3 before and after pictures including the front, the back and the underskirt. It is important to note that the photos of this dress were not retouched at all and that they were taken in the same spot with the same lighting conditions before and after we restored the wedding gown to its natural state.
silkmoldfrontsmalldress_before_wedding.jpg
Front
The top half of the wedding gown is lace and the bottom is silk. This wedding gown was hand made some time in the 1950’s. You can see the mold around the neck and towards the bottom a little bit. If you click on the picture and zoom in, you can see there are little specs of mold all over this gown, especially on the silk. You can also see the prominent color change after we performed the restoration on this vintage wedding gown.
Back
The mold is more visible on the back of this wedding gown, especially on the lower right portion of the lace. Again, on the back you can see how we were able to remove the yellowing that has occurred on the silk and lace of this vintage wedding dress.
The mold is most visible on the silk portion of the gown’s underskirt. You can see that removing the mold did not do any damage to the weave of the silk satin.
This vintage wedding gown restoration was performed at Sunnys Dry Cleaners in Charlotte, NC.

As a professional dry cleaner, I would like to see you bring all of your spots and stains directly to us. This way the spots will have the highest probability of coming out. I realize that just isn’t going to happen though. I’ve put together a quick guide for removing spots and stains at home from things you already know are safe to wash at home (fabrics like cotton). As always, read the care label before doing anything, test for colorfastness on colored garments and finally, I am not responsible for what you do with the information in this quick guide.
Alterations Near me Concord.jpg
As a rule of thumb, most stains can be classified into a couple simple categories. If it grows (from the ground), use vinegar to remove the spot. If it comes from the body (blood, for example), use ammonia to remove the spot. Based on this rule we can mix up a couple spotting bottles to keep in the laundry room (be sure to label them).

What you need:
2 spray bottles
Ammonia
Vinegar
Laundry Soap
OxyClean

If It Grows
If it grows refers to things that grow in the ground such as fruits, coffee (without additives), wine(grapes), and others. In the first spray bottle, fill a quarter with vinegar and the rest with water. Mark this bottle appropriately so you know what is in there.

From The Body

Dry Cleaning in Gastonia | Alterations Near me Rock Hill

There are a lot of reasons you may need to clean your wedding gown before you tie the knot. There are always risks involved when cleaning bridal gowns, so if it’s not dirty, don’t clean it. If your dress is dirty, then don’t fret, the chances of something happening to your dress if you choose the right place to clean it are extraordinarily low.

When To Clean Your Gown Before You Wear It

slide2_weddingdress_new-3
There’s no need to come unraveled if you have a new gown and something happened. We once cleaned a wedding dress after dog peed on a silk wedding gown less than 24 hours before the bride was leaving (it was an out of town affair). We had the dress looking as a good as new just in time. That was an extreme case, but it should illustrate what can be done.
If you purchased a sample gown, chances are you’ll want to get it cleaned before you wear it. Even if the gown looks clean, keep in mind that anywhere from a few to a few dozen people have tried that gown on before you purchased it.
Most vendors that sell will sell you a pre-worn (used) wedding gown require that it be cleaned first. This doesn’t mean it was cleaned well. Look for dirt at the hemline (unless you are significantly shorter than the previous wearer). Open the hem with your hand and lay it flat to get a true sense of how dirty or clean it is. Also look at the bust area and near the under arm area. If there are any areas on concern, you will want to have those taken care of now, not later.
Maybe you are going to wear a dress that your mother or grandmother wore. Or maybe you found an amazing dress at a vintage shop. If you are going to be married in a vintage gown, you will most definitely want your gown cleaned first. In fact, what you want is a wedding gown restoration service.
