Ordinary cleaners hate garments
with trim or embellishments. So they follow a multitude of
strategies:
- Most reject them out of hand, telling you that the garment is
not cleanable.
- Some warn you of the "risks", make you sign a waiver of
liability and, when the garment is reduced to unwearable status,
wave the signed release like a flag blowing in the wind.
- Others, unwilling to expose their lack of skill and experience,
and knowing that they have a 50:50 chance of "getting it right", go
ahead and experiment on them.
- A few "clean" them by reducing the time on the wash cycle of
their drycleaning machine to a fraction of the required time and
then tell you that "they've been cleaned." When, in fact, they
haven't been properly cleaned.
- Many just spot clean them, spray them with a "freshening"
product (say hello to Fabreze), steam them and then tell you that
"they've been cleaned". When, in fact, they haven't been cleaned at
all.
Why do ordinary cleaners resort to these approaches? Because
they don't have the skills and experience necessary to expertly,
safely and effectively clean garments and gowns with trims and
embellishments.
By contrast, a true quality cleaner should be able to clean
almost any garment or gown with trim or embellishments. Expertly.
Safely. And effectively. Whether it's beads, sequins or
rhinestones; plastic, vinyl or rubber; paint, glitter or
silkscreen; appliques or embroidery; suede, leather or fur;
multi-media comprising fabrics and skins; feathers; high-tech
fabrics. Or a St. John Knit blazer heavily embellished with
pailettes and/or rhinestones.
First, their core business -- caring for bespoke,
made-to-measure, designer, high fashion, specialty and couture
garments and gowns -- has exposed them to many unusual and
wonderful garments and gowns with trim and embellishments. This
exposure has allowed them to become highly skilled in cleaning and
finishing these garments and gowns -- garments and gowns that would
be routinely rejected as "uncleanable" or "extremely risky" by the
vast majority of ordinary cleaners.
Second, they'll treat all your garments and gowns with
extraordinary care and clean them in drycleaning fluid that's
extremely gentle, non-dye bleeding, dermatologically friendly and
odorless, such as siloxane.
You can trust a true quality cleaner with garments and gowns
that have trims and embellishments -- garments and gowns that would
be routinely rejected as "uncleanable" or "extremely risky" by the
vast majority of ordinary cleaners.
