Which items can be washed and which can be dry cleaned?
Read the care instructions on the clothing label inside the garment to be positive. A general rule of thumb is that dry cleaning is for synthetic materials and more refined items - e.g. suits, delicate dresses - and laundry is for natural materials - e.g. t-shirts, pants, socks.
What if my clothes are heavily stained?
We can definitely try! Stains are best treated immediately, so your garment has a better chance of recovery. Turn your garment inside out and run cold water over the stain. This will greatly help the affected area, and in return make the stain easier to remove.

What does “owner’s risk” mean?
If we believe that the fragility of the garments (fabric, age, colour, pre-existing damage etc.) means that there is a risk that they could be damaged in the cleaning process, we will refrain from cleaning the garment in question. We will make an attempt to contact you and advise you of the potential risks associated with proceeding with the treatment. Note that if you authorise us to proceed, it will imply that you assume full responsibility for any damage to the garments. This is what we call cleaning “at owner’s risk”
