Excellent Cleaners

Always check that your garment is suitable for dry-cleaning by checking the fabric care label. Do not rely on the dry-cleaner to reject an item that should not be dry-cleaned.

Dry-cleaning guarantees to remove all general grime and dirt, but may not remove some specific stains. If your clothes have a stain, always point it out in advance and tell the cleaner what it is, if you know. You may have to accept that they can only do their best.

Before you leave the shop with your cleaned garments, always check that they are in fact clean and that any particular stain that the dry-cleaner has agreed to remove has gone. If you have to remove packaging to do so, don’t be put off.

Do not take a cleaned garment inside a closed car – the solvent fumes may make you unfit to drive. Open a window. When you get home, remove the packaging and hang your clean clothes up for a short while in a place where there is fresh air.
