Dry Cleaning
Our Sanitone Certified Master Dry Cleaning process uses water-free chemical solvents to gently clean garments while preserving color and texture. Each item undergoes pre-treatment for stains, machine cleaning, post-spotting, and professional finishing. We handle delicate fabrics, formal wear, and everyday clothing with equal care, ensuring wrinkle-free results and meticulous attention to detail.
Wedding Gown Preservation
As members of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists, we offer specialized cleaning and acid-free preservation for wedding dresses. Our process includes gentle stain removal, minor repairs, and storage in climate-controlled boxes with viewing windows. This service protects your gown's integrity for future generations while maintaining its original beauty and craftsmanship.
Professional Alterations
Our expert tailors handle major and minor alterations for all garment types, including hemming, waist adjustments, zipper replacements, and formal wear modifications. Using industrial-grade equipment, we guarantee precise workmanship for suits, tuxedos, evening gowns, and leather garments. Most alterations complete within 24-48 hours at competitive pricing.
Rug Cleaning
Our comprehensive rug cleaning process includes dust removal, stain pre-treatment, deep cleaning, and climate-controlled drying. We handle all rug types using pH-balanced solutions that protect fibers while removing embedded dirt and allergens. Final grooming restores pile direction and texture, with optional protective treatments for high-traffic areas.
Shoe Repair
Our skilled cobblers provide complete shoe repair services including resoling, heel replacement, stitching, and leather conditioning. We use premium materials matched to original construction while maintaining traditional craftsmanship techniques. Services include professional polishing, water protection treatments, and structural repairs for both casual and formal footwear.
