How Much Does It Cost To Dry Clean Wedding Dress?
Wedding dresses are treasured gowns that hold precious memories of a bride’s special day; to many they represent a significant investment, and after an evening of dancing the night away the dress may need a little refresh to get back to its original condition.
EcoClean is pleased to offer dry-cleaning and preservation packages for bridal gowns. We restore dresses with care so they hold onto memories of your special day – not dirt. Below we’ll discuss our cleaning packages and let you know exactly how much dry-cleaning your wedding gown will cost, what we can clean, and preservation options to keep your dress spotless for years to come.
Cleaning Wedding Dresses
White dresses are notorious for showing stains and smudges, and can be a cause of stress for any bride.
Dry-cleaning is incredibly effective at removing stains, debris, and any discoloration from your cherished
wedding gown. Inherited dresses that have been improperly stored or dry cleaned may need a refresh
before going back down the aisle, and can be restored back to a brilliant white with a little help from our
signature wet-cleaning process. Traditional dry-cleaning leaves a tell-tale yellow cast on white garments,
but wet-cleaning keeps gowns white for generations.
You can trust our talented team to restore your wedding gown back to its original glory. Our wet cleaning
and pressing teams have over 80 combined years of experience in garment restoration and handle each
gown with care. We understand the value and importance of each dress and return them to their original
condition with the utmost care.
Here’s how we do it:
Each wedding gown is personally inspected by our plant manager and evaluated for proper cleaning. Our
cleaning methods vary dress to dress, and are determined by the gown’s fabric, embellishments, and
construction. How much the dry-cleaning costs for the wedding gown is based on the severity of the
stains and debris and the fragility of the gown.
Stains are then hand-treated with care and washed in protective mesh bags with gentle, eco-conscious
laundry products. After air drying, each gown is steamed and hand-pressed back to its original form
before being carefully arranged in its preservation box.
And that’s it! For Austin brides, gowns are picked up then delivered to you by our local delivery team. For
our out-of-town brides, dresses are specially shipped and tracked to guarantee delivery.
