Hand Finished - Shirt Laundry
Our shirt service is second to none. We provide Hand Finished Shirt Laundry on all our dress shirts.

With the Shirt laundry service, dress shirts can be cleaned and pressed the way you desire. This is a truly hand finished shirt and is recommended for all of your designer shirts, Egyptian cotton shirts as well as all fine light weight cotton and dark colored shirts. You want an extremely soft shirt, no problem. You want extra starch on the collar only, no problem. Only can such attention to detail be provided with our Hand Finished Shirt Laundry Service.

The Shirt Laundry Service includes laundering in an exclusive detergent. The brightness retention and collar cleaning ability is excellent. We are also able to prevent starch buildup as the product we use is a natural starch and not the more commonly used synthetic product. The common industrial starch is really a glue derivative. It is a very effective way to provide a heavy starch feel but it is unable to be washed out and build up is a severe problem.

Collar stays are removed prior to laundering and replaced only after finishing is completed. Why would we do this? To prevent the impression of the stays on the collar. Shirts are bagged no more than 4 per bag and each shirt has the shirt sleeves clipped in the front to avoid unnecessary wrinkling . Folded shirts are done just the way they were when you bought them. We use the same boards and supports, only we left out those nuisance pins. Now that is attention to detail. Of course, we provide an intact button guarantee.
 
Wedding Gown Preservation

With our exceptional wedding gown department, we are prepared to clean, preserve and restore your cherished garments for future generations. Brides choosing to box their gowns may select our Heirloom Packaging, which includes an acid free window box for see-thru viewing. Wedding Gown Specialists.

The months, weeks and days preceding a wedding are full of 'to do' lists and details, large and small, that must be dealt with if the 'BIG DAY' is to be the success that dreams are made of. There are dresses to buy, tuxedos to rent, flowers to arrange, songs to select, a photographer to choose, appointments to make - the list of things to handle would fill pages. And the fear that some small detail has been missed, or some arrangement has not been made, never leaves the subconscious, and often even the conscious mind.
After the beautiful day is over, you're usually off on your honeymoon trip. That gorgeous gown is usually left bunched up in a corner, placed under a bed, or in a closet. It's not until some time later that thoughts of cleaning and preserving your expensive wedding gown reach the top of your "things to do" list.

Since many stains, especially alcohol and sugar, tend to "set" in fabric over time, it is a good idea to make sure that your gown is brought in to us for proper treatment as soon as possible. We will even be glad to come and pick up the gown for you. Just click on the e-mail link at the bottom of this page and we'll be glad to arrrange a convenient time.
Cleaning and preserving gowns is a job we take very seriously. Most brides want to preserve memories with pictures, videos, and a preserved wedding gown in a beautiful preservation chest. The task of preserving a wedding gown is multi-faceted. It involves:

  • Proper inspection of all areas of the gown
  • Proper testing of all the different beading and trim
  • Selection of the soaps and solvents needed to carefully remove all stains
  • Gentle cycle cleaning in a specially designed wedding gown net
  • Careful re-inspection of all trim and soiled areas
  • Meticulous pressing and stuffing with acid-free paper to ensure no fading over time
  • Sewing of any loose beads or buttons or trim
  • Careful placement in an acid-free box to ensure safe storage over the years

All these steps are taken to ensure your complete satisfaction in knowing that your gown will be a valued keepsake in your family for many years to come. When you trust your gown to us, a simple pressing 20 years from now will have your gown ready to wear by the next generation!!!

Re-Weaving and French-Weaving

Moth holes, cigarette burns and any other damage can sometimes be repaired by reweaving. There are 2 types of reweaving, the first one being a block weave, this method is good for suits and other woven wool fabrics, it involves taking a small piece of fabric from the garment (from an inconspicuous area) and weaving that piece of fabric into the garment, this is less expensive than French weaving and is somewhat visible after the process yet it is effective.

French Weaving involves weaving yarns by hand into the damaged areas to replace the missing yarns in the damaged area, with this method each yarn/ thread is woven back into the fabric, this method makes the damage invisible .Yarns used for reweaving are taken from an inconspicuous part of the garment or from an outside source. It's a tedious process and can be expensive as a small hole can take up-to 8 hours to fix.

Before starting the repair process, it is a good idea to have the wool article dry cleaned. Dry cleaning will kill and remove any unseen insect larvae and should flush out any loose fibers revealing the full extent of the insect damage.
