Understanding the Challenges
Fine fabrics present the greatest challenge: Each stain needs to be treated and removed from the cuffs, linings and outer shells of our clothing, one spot at a time. Large splashes can be difficult, but splatters require even more skill and attention.

Preventive Care
Try to inspect all clothing under bright light after wearing and, if stained, have it cleaned within 48 hours, max. Be very careful about applying water or club soda to stains because these fluids usually dilute the stain, cause it to spread, and then cause a ring. The rings that form around the stain are even more difficult to remove than the stain itself!

Getting your stained clothing to the drycleaner on time and pointing out the problems can make the difference between ruined and restorable clothing.

Just the Facts ...
Immediate gratification is what most people seem to want. Respectfully, I want people to stop messing with their better clothing because they have neither the training nor the proper equipment.

To me, the message is clear, "Dryclean your expensive and most valuable clothing, leave the stain removal to skilled technicians, and stop looking for quick-fixes and miracle cures. Wash the rest of your clothing, and try to learn the best and safest way to do it."
