Wedding Dress Cleaning – Clean, Preserved and Ready for the Memories
A wedding dress is often the most precious garment you own – in silk, lace, tulle and beading, frequently with a long train. After the big day there are usually invisible stains in the fabric: champagne, perspiration, make-up and food that don't show yet but oxidise and yellow over time. We professionally clean and preserve your wedding dress, adapted to the fabric and embellishment, so it stays beautiful for years to come. Order online, we pick up at home or work, clean, and send the gown back ready for storage.
Why a wedding dress needs professional cleaning
Wedding dresses are made from delicate materials – silk, satin, tulle, chiffon and lace – often with beading, sequins, appliqué and long trains that need hand work. These fabrics can't take an ordinary machine wash: colours and linings can change, embellishment can come loose, and the shape can be lost. We read the gown and its care label, choose the right method for each part, and hand-finish where needed, so the dress keeps its drape, form and details.
Remove invisible stains before they set
The most dangerous stains on a wedding dress are the ones you can't see. Perspiration and deodorant are slightly acidic and can yellow and weaken the fibres, while champagne, white wine and sugary spills oxidise invisibly and can turn brown weeks or months later. That's why we recommend cleaning the dress as soon as possible after the wedding – the longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove. Describe any spills or stains when you order, and we'll treat them correctly for the type and fabric.
Preserving and storing the gown afterwards
If the dress is to be kept as a keepsake or reused, correct storage matters as much as the cleaning itself. We recommend acid-free tissue and a breathable box or cover rather than plastic, which can trap moisture and yellow the fabric. Store the dress somewhere dark, dry and cool, and avoid attics and cellars where temperature and humidity swing. A freshly cleaned, properly packed gown stays white and intact, without yellowing or moth damage.
How to order
Choose the service and briefly tell us about the dress, the fabric and any stains when you order online. We pick the dress up at home or work, or you drop it at a service point or partner store – you choose the shipping method in your order. Once the dress is cleaned and prepared, we send it back to you, ready for storage.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to clean a wedding dress?+
Wedding dresses vary a lot in fabric, embellishment, size and train, so the price is set individually based on the gown and what it needs. You see the price before you order, so you know the cost in advance.
How soon should I clean the dress after the wedding?+
As soon as possible. Perspiration, champagne and sugary spills can oxidise invisibly and turn into brown stains that yellow over time. The sooner the dress is cleaned, the better the chance of removing the stains completely before they set.
Can you remove stains like champagne, perspiration and make-up?+
Yes. We treat stains according to type and fabric. Don't rub or wash the stain yourself – describe it when you order, and we'll choose the right method. Some stains can be removed completely, others reduced, depending on what it is and how long it has been there.
How should I store the wedding dress afterwards?+
Use acid-free tissue and a breathable box or cover rather than plastic, and store the dress somewhere dark, dry and cool. That way you avoid yellowing, moisture damage and moths. We prepare the dress for storage when we clean it.
Do you clean dresses with beading, lace and a long train?+
Yes. Dresses with beading, sequins, lace and trains need extra care and hand work, and we adapt the treatment accordingly. Describe the embellishment when you order, and we'll take it into account.
