Wedding Dress Yellowing

 

A primary concern with keeping your wedding dress is that the fabric often yellows over time. 

Yellowing can result from chemical reactions resulting from stains on your wedding day. Several things can affect your dress, including oil from your skin, sweat, wine, and food stains.

Yellowing can also happen as the material breaks down, especially if you live in a warm climate. Wedding dress dry cleaning can preserve your dress by neutralizing the fibers in the fabric.

As a professional couture wedding gown dry cleaner, we will assess the stains and risks of yellowing and create a unique plan of action to restore each dress to its former glory.

With more brides opting for vintage or second-hand dresses, you’ll be happy to know that we can also dry clean your family heirloom dress or vintage couture find.

Our Wedding Dress Dry-Cleaning Process

Here’s what to expect from our wedding dress dry cleaning service.

Place a Service Order

Get started by telling us more about your dress and your expectations. We’ll answer any questions and help you select extra services as needed. 

Get Your Dress Collected

Next, we’ll set a date and time that works for you so our courier can pick up your dress. We’ll send you a kit you can use to pack the dress safely.

The Magic Happens

Our experts will inspect the dress and develop the best plan of action. We’ll dry-clean the dress, press it, and prepare it for storage or display.

Receive Your Dry-Cleaned Dress

We’ll then ship the dress back to you. We can pack it for storage or upgrade your order with a presentation box.

FAQs

 

How long does your wedding dress cleaning take?

It usually takes three weeks to get your dress back. It can take up to five weeks around the holidays since we close between Christmas and New Year. Dry cleaning can also take longer, around October, since it’s the busiest month for the wedding industry.

Delays can happen if we receive a dress in a different state from what was described.

When is the best time to send my wedding dress to be cleaned?

We can do wonders and restore dresses over 100 years old. However, sending your gown immediately after your wedding day is best so the stains don’t have time to set in. We can send you a shipping kit in advance so you can pack your dress as soon as the event is over.

Professional Wedding Dress Dry Cleaning & Care

We’re a family-owned business that has been around for six decades. Over the past 60 years, we’ve developed the best methods for cleaning and preserving wedding gowns without damaging delicate fabric and details.

As the nation's first Five-Star Certified Cleaner, you can trust that we will go above and beyond when cleaning your beautiful keepsakes. We also use the latest technologies to get the best results possible. Contact us today to learn more about our wedding dress dry cleaning services.

Testimonials

Valentino Handbag #3

Description of Services: A Rodeo Valentino boutique’s heartbroken client brought into their store what was a brand-new purse that she had recently purchased from them. This beautiful lambskin bag with contrasting quilted stitching and studded accents was destroyed (or so they all thought) by a large hand sanitizer spill. The client was going to throw it away...until they recommended Margaret’s Cleaners. They had learned over the years if there was any chance of successful cleaning or repairs of high-end items, Margaret’s is the only place to go.

"Margaret’s did not disappoint them! When it was delivered back to the store the employees raved! Here are some of the comments we heard... “Blown away” ... “An amazing save” ... “Truly astonishing” ... “Looks new again” ... “As though damage never happened” ... “Absolutely spectacular work!”

"Margaret’s is hands down, THE BEST!”

— The staff at the Rodeo

BEAUTIFUL RESULTS!

UPS just delivered my second Prada handbag to be cleaned by your business. I can't tell you how impressed I am by the beautiful results! The woman that called to tell me it was being shipped was so helpful and thorough. She was delightful and really went out of her way with customer service.

Though I live the majority of the time in Denver, I will always make a point of using your business whenever I am staying at our second home in La Jolla. Thank you!

— Jan B., New York"

No one in Tucson could clean my bag and have any confidence in the results. I found Margaret's on the internet. Thank you for the wonderful job that you did on my handbag. It looks better than new! I'm giving your information to my local dry cleaner as they are very interested in being able to refer clients to you who have similar problems as mine.

— Elizabeth P., Tucson, AZ

EXEMPLARY WORKMANSHIP

While at Neiman Marcus in San Diego, a wonderful sales girl recommened your store. Thank you for you exemplary workmanship. It's a pleasure for me as a client!

— Cindy E.

VERY PLEASED

I was not able to find someone locally [to fix my purse]. I did an internet search and based on your website and prompt response to my email, determined that your company was probably the best! I was very pleased with how everything was handled. In today's world, it is wonderful to find a company with ""old world"" values. Thank you so much!

— Jayne E., Cincinnati, Ohio

PRESTINE RESTORATION

You have restored two of my purses, one a vintage 1948 purse, to pristine condition. I just wanted to say thank you!

— Sheila G.
