Wedding Gown Cleaning  

After you’ve spent your wedding night drinking champagne and dancing the night away, your dress will need to be cleaned to avoid stains and yellowing. After the initial consultation, Jan’s Bridal Care starts by carefully inspecting your gown for stains, especially around the hemline. We then carefully spot-treat any stains by hand, and then it’s cleaned in a never-before-used cleaning solution specially designed for the gown’s fabric. This solution is different from typical “washing” that involves friction and extreme temperatures. The gown is carefully soaked in a fabric-safe solution that will dissolve stains and dirt before they have time to yellow on the gown, such as sweat, makeup, sugar, or champagne. For best results, your dress needs to be cleaned within six weeks of your wedding to avoid stains and yellowing. 

 Wedding Gown Storage  

Proper dress cleaning and storage play such a critical role in preserving your gown long-term. Vacuum, plastic, and other chemical-based seals that are traditionally used to store wedding dresses can cause potentially irreparable damage to the garment. At Jan’s Bridal Care, our specialists wrap your gown in highly protective, pre-washed bleached muslin, with acid-free tissue paper placed in every fold for wrinkle prevention It is then packaged flat in a custom-designed, archival-quality wedding chest that we recommend that it be stored in a safe, temperature-controlled area such as under a bed or in a closet on the main floor of your home.
