Some fabrics are too valuable, too delicate, or too unpredictable to risk in a home wash. From shrinking wool to ruined suede, one mistake can cost you a favourite garment. At IMAGE Dry Cleaners, we’ve seen it all and we know how to protect your wardrobe properly.
1. Silk – Stains Can Set Permanently
Silk is beautiful but unforgiving. Once a stain sets, it’s almost impossible to remove at home. Our professional cleaning process lifts stains gently without damaging the texture or sheen.
2. Suede – Water Will Ruin It
Suede reacts badly to water, leaving stiff patches and permanent marks. Specialist dry cleaning preserves the soft, velvety finish that makes suede so luxurious.
3. Wool – Will Shrink in Minutes
Even a single wash cycle can shrink wool garments by two sizes. We clean and finish wool items professionally, keeping their shape, softness, and fit intact.
4. Leather – Cracking, Peeling, Fading
Leather needs oils and protective treatments during cleaning. DIY washing strips these away, leading to cracks and premature wear. Our expert leather care keeps it supple and rich.
5. High-Value Designer Pieces From Moncler coats to Burberry knits, high-value items deserve professional attention. Our luxury cleaning process ensures your investment pieces look pristine and last longer.
Not everything should be cleaned at home. Protect your garments with IMAGE Dry Cleaners’ expert care.
