Drycleaning/Spotclean

Should you dry-clean your bridal gown before wearing?

We offer drycleaning services on all bridal gowns.  We also can spot clean your wedding dress.  Press only services are also available in Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Frisco and Ft. Worth, Tx.  New bridal gowns usually do not require dry-cleaning before wearing.  Sometimes there are exceptions such as the gown being stored for a long period of time, pet odor or if someone smokes in the household.  Try to keep your wedding gown in an environment that will lessen your chances of having to dry-clean it before you wear it.  After all you want your bridal gown to stay in like new condition before the big day.  Not all dry-cleaners take the time to give your wedding gown the special attention that it needs and deserves.  It all depends on your dry-cleaner and their process.  Some bridal gowns will be just fine through it all, and then there are others that can lose some of its sparkle.  If you do have to get your wedding gown dry-cleaned, make sure that you choose a reputable dry-cleaner to do the job.  Average dry-cleaning costs for wedding gowns can run anywhere from $75.00 to about $300.00.  Silk bridal gowns can sometimes cost even more.

Spot-cleaning your bridal gown.

There are a wide variety of bridal gowns that can be spot-cleaned instead of dry-cleaning.  The cost is more reasonable, somewhere around 75.00 to 125.00 and you will eliminate the worry of damaging the fabric, trim and accessories.  Silk and taffeta type fabrics should never be spot-cleaned.  You may remove the stain from your bridal gown, but may end up with something much worse.  A good time to spot-clean your bridal gown is when you buy a gown off the rack as is. Bridal gowns can become stained with makeup, self-tanning lotions, and sweat from other people’s bodies.  Another reason to spot-clean your wedding gown is after the portrait.  Your dress will get soiled around the hemline, armholes and neckline etc.  You will feel a much better when your bridal gown feels and smells fresh before walking down the aisle.
