You spared no expense fulfilling your lifelong dream to walk down the aisle on your wedding day, dressed exactly as you imagined, in a luxury, or possibly couture bridal gown. Now, as you settle into your new life, do not overlook ensuring that your bridal finery receives the post-nuptial treatment it deserves. This is no time to be researching “wedding dress dry cleaning near me”, or asking around to see if anyone at the office can make a recommendation. It is highly likely, however, that your wedding planner mentioned Winzer Cleaners as the dry cleaners of choice among Manhattan’s social elite, and therefore will treat your wedding garment with our utmost expertise, experience, and consideration.
What can you expect from our luxury and couture wedding dress cleaning and preservation services? In this posting, we will detail our techniques and processes so you can entrust your gown to our care, knowing it will be returned in pristine condition. To begin, we will gladly come to your residence to receive your gown, and return it when we have completed our services. It is not only convenient, but reduces the possibility of damaging your wedding gown in transit. At our premises, wearing white gloves to prevent transfer, we will carefully examine your dress, inspecting for stains and damage that may have occurred during the ceremony or reception. Careful attention will be paid to the type of fabric, embellishments such as lace, beading, and embroidery, if necessary, spot cleaning will be performed, and any noted repairs made. At all times, our experts employ specialized techniques to protect delicate fabrics and embellishments. Here is an overview of our process:
Inspection: As noted above, your bridal gown will be closely examined to identify any staining, tear, damage to the fabric, missing findings and/or embellishments.
Stain Removal: Using the solution determined by our professionals to be gentle yet yield and optimal result, we will spot clean any stains, again only employing cleaning solutions considered appropriate for use on the gown’s fabric and the nature of the stain.
Targeted Cleaning Sites: Those wonderful wedding party and couple photos taken outdoors took a toll on your wedding dress. The hemline and train, in particular, will have ground in dirt, grime, and other debris trapped in the fabric. Soaking and gently scrubbing these areas with a soft brush will remove organic material as well as grit, sand, and other debris that worked its way into the fibers.
Minor Repairs: At this point, our experts will repair minor issues such as snags, loose beading, unraveling lace, and/or small tears. Any missing findings, such as buttons, snaps, pickups, zippers, or hooks and eyes, will be replaced.
Drying: Your dress will be placed on a hanger or dress form, padded with absorbent material to prevent wrinkles and distortion, and allowed to air dry.
Dry Cleaning: If dry cleaning is considered the best cleaning method, it will be employed at this stage of the process using eco-friendly solutions.
Preservation: Winzer Cleaners highly recommends at this stage that you allow our professionals to take the extra step and preserve your gown. This is especially ideal as air is the enemy of fine fabrics, degrading fibers and yellowing fabrics over time. Many a bride has decided to wear her gown again for a vow renewal or to pass her bridal dress to another family member only to find the color has shifted due to oxidation. Instead, allow Winzer Cleaners to preserve your gown using techniques that will allow you to view your bridal dress whenever you wish.
