Tips for your Dry Cleaning Clothes
- Read all care label instructions before making a purchase.
- Dry clean all matching garments together. For example, suits, outfits, drapes and comforter sets should all be done as a set to prevent fading in one object of the set.
- Point out your stains so that your dry cleaner can treat the stain prior to dry cleaning.
- The sooner a garment is brought in the higher the chances of stain removal.
- Protect colored garments and whites from exposure to sun, light and heat. Sunlight can change color and loss occurs. Don't repress soiled garments - heat sets any stains you may have.
- Don't leave dry cleaning garments in your car, soiled or not.
- It's best to store garments in fabric garment bags.
- Rotate draperies to vary light exposure from the sun.
- Allow perfumes, deodorant, lotion and hair spray to dry before you dress. Some dyes bleed and change color when exposed to a solution with alcohol.
- Many stains from food and beverages become invisible when dry but with exposure to heat and time, a yellowish-brownish stain may appear.
Home Stain Removal Tips
- Never rub a stain. BLOT the area or flush it out with water. Rubbing damages fabric and color.
- Air dry stained clothes to determine if the stain was successfully removed. The heat from the dryer will set any stain that remained.
