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.
