Wedding Gowns Handled With Utmost
Care in Charleston & Hurricane, WV
We know how important and valuable your wedding gown is to you. To ensure that stains are able to be eliminated completely, please plan to have your gown professionally cleaned as soon as possible after your wedding. If you wait too long, the stains may set permanently into the light-colored fabrics of your gown.
Our delicate fabric experts in Charleston, West Virginia handle your gown with the utmost care during each step of the cleaning process. We carefully inspect and review the condition of your gown prior to beginning the cleaning process to identify any weak areas, loose decorations, stains, etc.
We pretreat any stains by hand and examine the dress for clear or hidden stains to ensure that they are thoroughly eliminated. Following careful cleaning and drying, we gently fold your gown by hand and protect the layers with acid-free tissue to protect the material.
Do not be mistaken and assume that if your dress looks clean, that it is clean. No matter how careful you think you were, you almost certainly sweat onto the fabric or suffered a spill of a clear substance such as a soft drink or champagne. These sugars caramelize over time, leaving ugly brown stains. In addition, even the tiniest speck of food on a gown will attract insects. Any perspiration that is left on the fabric of your dress will oxidize and turn yellow over time. Dirt, sand, or soil act to break down the actual fibers of your gown over time.
Trust Gardner's Drycleaning – Laundry to ensure that your gown is in prime condition to pass down through the generations. We can advise you regarding proper storage of your prepared wedding gown for long-term storage. Under no circumstance should you store your wedding gown in an attic or basement. Like other fine treasures, your gown should be stored in an appropriate climate-controlled area.
