After a festive New Year’s Eve or time under the mistletoe, you may find a little incriminating stain on your collar. Innocuous or not, removing lipstick can be more difficult than explaining how it got there. Our stain experts can whisk most lipstick stains out of almost every fabric. If you want to try an easy home remedy, soaking in liquid dishwashing detergent seems to work amazingly well. Rinse well before laundering, with bleach for white fabric.

In 2024, the Pantone color of the year was Peach Fuzz. In 2023, it was Viva Magenta. Bright, festive colors sure to lighten any mood. 2025 is taking a new direction: Mocha Mousse. It looks like the color left on your white fabric when you spill coffee. Expect to see more browns used in product promotions this year, but let’s hope it doesn’t take over! We can help you keep your whites bright and free from stains.

Every New Year is a chance to start afresh. Here’s to your success in 2025!

Sometimes wrapping paper and ornaments shed their tiny glitter bits, and you are left with micro-bits of shiny material on your rug or carpet, so small they might escape the vacuum cleaner. Here’s a very tiny tip: When the carpet’s covered in glitter from ornaments, decorating and celebrating, grab a ball of Play-Do. Roll it over the mess to pick up the loose bits of shine. That’s about as much housecleaning as we’re going to do today.

Ho Ho Ho! It’s that time of year to bring Santa’s good cheer. Most Santa Suits need to be dry cleaned. You know, for all that soot they pick up sliding down the chimney… and just general wear.  If you only use your Santa Suit once per season, you may only need to clean the costume every 3 or 4 years.  Make sure to ask for the lightest chemical treatment possible, and read all care instructions. Let us make the Santa in your life fresh and sweet smelling!

Are you wondering if it’s a leather fabric or a synthetic alternative? Here is an easy test that you can use to tell the difference between a polyurethane fabric and leather. Saturate a q-tip with paint remover. Rub a sample in an area that is hidden. If the dye transfers to the q-tip, it is leather! If not, you’re dealing with a synthetic fabric. Let our experts clean your leather and synthetic garments.

Want to look your best after unpacking your clothes? Here’s a reuse-friendly tip: Put plastic dry cleaning bags in between items when you pack. It helps prevent clothes from sticking together and wrinkling. Once you have worn the clothes, you can put them back in the bag and keep your worn laundry separated from your clean clothes. Going somewhere warm and wet? The trick works great for damp clothes and bathing suits.
