WEDDING DRESS CLEANING
Preserve your dress, preserve your memories
Avoid yellowing
Traditional wedding dress cleaning leaves a chemical residue that causes fine fabrics to yellow over time. Your gown and your keepsakes deserve better. Wet cleaning is the best way to preserve wedding dresses, ensuring your dress stays as white as the day you walked down the aisle.
Expert stain removal
Some wedding dress stains are obvious. Wine and food? Dirt and sweat? Icing and alcohol? Seen it, cleaned it. Others, however, can be hiding in plain sight. Perfume, sugar and sweat won’t be visible at first, but if left untreated, they can darken and become permanent.
For the future
Wet Cleaning is safer for humans and the environment than all other cleaning methods and especially better for fine fabrics and delicate embellishments. That means the safest, most effective cleaning for your favorite parts of your gown – the lace details, the beaded bodice, the vintage applique. What drew you to the dress in the first place will be safest in our hands.
Museum quality dress preservation kits
Our wedding dress preservation kits utilize museum quality processes and materials to not only clean your gown but preserve it in pristine condition. Protecting it from outside harm like moisture, pests and light means your dress will be as sparkling as the day you wore it.
PRESERVATION
Smart preservation
For over 50 years, dry-cleaners have been cleaning gowns with petroleum solvents and using staples, tape, fasteners, and plastic windows to make dresses look good in their boxes. We believe the cleanliness and longevity of the textile are most important, and have designed museum quality preservation options that make it easy to store your gown while protecting it from moisture, pests, and UV rays.

Cleaning and Preserving FAQs
Wedding Dress Preservation is the process of cleaning,
arranging and boxing a gown to prepare it for long-term
storage and protect it from deterioration. All fabrics can be
harmed by tensile stress (from hanging), moisture, UV Rays,
pests, heat, chemical residue, and long-term exposure to
foreign substances. Proper preservation starts with stain
treatment and washing in a wet cleaning process. After a dress
is thoroughly cleaned, it is hand pressed by our team in
Hibbing and delicately arranged in a museum quality storage
box. Wet cleaning is an essential part of the process as it
eliminates the possibility of yellowing through time because
no petroleum solvents are used to clean the fabric.

possibility that the cleaning will take longer than
anticipated. Wedding ceremonies with the associated immovable
date on a calendar, cannot accommodate the schedule
flexibility that might be required.
