Why wedding dress cleaning?

Perhaps you’re thinking ‘Why do I need to get my wedding dress cleaned, it doesn’t really look dirty to me? The answer is quite simply, because your wedding dress is incredibly delicate and special. If you do not have your wedding dress cleaned properly and stored carefully, it may react to the atmosphere and discolour. At many weddings drinks get spilt, brides get warm make up rubs off, people stand on your train. It is inevitable that your dress will contain dirt, even if you can not at first see it, and this may damage a wedding dress if not cleaned professionally. Something to take into consideration when having a wedding dress cleaned, is the way you will store the wedding dress afterwards. It is also extremely important that your wedding dress is not kept in a plastic bag for too long, as even the slightest grain of moisture in such an airless environment can cause mildew to develop on a wedding dress quite quickly. As you will know if you have ever got mildew growing on any fabric before, it is difficult to near impossible to remove the damage this causes. Wedding dresses should be stored in a special acid free box with acid free tissue paper to prevent damage and deterioration of the wedding dress caused by pollutants and toxins. Failure to do this correctly can cause the dress to fade or yellow over time. We strongly recommend having your wedding dress cleaned professionally and stored in a beautiful wedding dress storage box to keep the memories for years to come and maybe who knows pass down to a family member. Can you get very dirty dresses clean? Our cleaning results are quite simply Excellent. However the quality of the end result can in most cases depend on the fabric of the dress and the type of staining. Does Silk clean well? In most cases silk does clean very well and the majority of stains will be removed. However silk is a natural fibre and as such it retains dye stuffs. So a stain such as red wine on a silk dress is very difficult to remove (But not impossible depending on age). Polyester dresses… In most cases dye stuffs do not “stick” to polyester fabrics and the overall results can be exceptional even with road tar and heavy drink and mud staining we would expect your dress to be almost perfect.
