WEDDING DRESS CLEANING
Preserve your dress, preserve your memories
Avoid yellowing
Traditional wedding dress cleaning leaves a chemical residue that causes fine fabrics to yellow over time. Your gown and your keepsakes deserve better. Wet cleaning is the best way to preserve wedding dresses, ensuring your dress stays as white as the day you walked down the aisle.
Expert stain removal
Some wedding dress stains are obvious. Wine and food? Dirt and sweat? Icing and alcohol? Seen it, cleaned it. Others, however, can be hiding in plain sight. Perfume, sugar and sweat won’t be visible at first, but if left untreated, they can darken and become permanent. Our decades of experience in wedding dress cleaning and many other delicate fabrics will have your gown looking as perfect as the day you brought it home from the store.
For the future
Wet Cleaning is safer for humans and the environment than all other cleaning methods and especially better for fine fabrics and delicate embellishments. That means the safest, most effective cleaning for your favorite parts of your gown – the lace details, the beaded bodice, the vintage applique. What drew you to the dress in the first place will be safest in our hands.
Museum quality dress preservation kits
Our wedding dress preservation kits utilize museum quality processes and materials to not only clean your gown but preserve it in pristine condition. Protecting it from outside harm like moisture, pests and light means your dress will be as sparkling as the day you wore it.
PRESERVATION
Smart preservation
For over 50 years, dry-cleaners have been cleaning gowns with petroleum solvents and using staples, tape, fasteners, and plastic windows to make dresses look good in their boxes. We believe the cleanliness and longevity of the textile are most important, and h ave designed museum quality preservation options that make it easy to store your gown while protecting it from moisture, pests, and UV rays.
Give a unique wedding gift
The happy couple will get plenty of towels and tupperware. Give the gift no one else will think of, but the bride will be thrilled you did. Wedding Dress Preservation Kits make wonderful gifts. When you select the Gift option at checkout, the lucky bride will be notified of the gift and provided instructions on how to handle her gown after the wedding.
Testimonials
What our brides our saying
I am so thrilled! I wanted to surprise my mother for her 70th wedding anniversary (yes 70th!) by having her 100 year old wedding dress preserved. Her mother wore it in 1915 and she wore it for her wedding. I live in Florida, I was going to visit family in austin and called several cleaners who would not touch it. When I called EcoClean and spoke to Kerstin Shoberg, she was happy to help out. I traveled to Austin with the dress and was not disappointed. EcoClean did a beautiful job of arranging the dress in a lovely window box. I sent it to my mother in Maryland. When she opened it she just could not believe it. It brought tears to both my mom and Dad. Thank you EcoClean for your time and attention to detail. It was truly appreciated by all! Kathy

Cleaning and Preserving FAQs
Wedding Dress Preservation is the process of cleaning, arranging and boxing a gown to prepare it for long-term storage and protect it from deterioration. All fabrics can be harmed by tensile stress (from hanging), moisture, UV Rays, pests, heat, chemical residue, and long-term exposure to foreign substances. Proper preservation starts with stain treatment and washing in a wet cleaning process. After a dress is thoroughly cleaned, it is hand pressed by our team in Austin and delicately arranged in a museum quality storage box. Wet cleaning is an essential part of the process as it eliminates the possibility of yellowing thru time because no petroleum solvents are used to clean the fabric.

Unfortunately, EcoClean is not able to clean a wedding dress prior to its use in a wedding ceremony. Wedding dresses are complex garments and there is some possibility that the cleaning will take longer than anticipated. Wedding ceremonies with the associated immovable date on a calendar, cannot accommodate the schedule flexibility that might be required.
