Dry Cleaning
Our dry cleaning service combines traditional hand-finishing with modern techniques to care for delicate fabrics like silk, wool, and leather. We use safe, fabric-friendly solvents to remove stains while preserving garment structure. Customers benefit from expert inspection, pre-treatment, and eco-conscious packaging for long-lasting results.
Wedding Dress Cleaning
Specialist wedding dress cleaning includes stain removal, deodorisation, and preservation boxing. We partner with The Empty Box Company to ensure heirloom-quality storage. Our process prevents yellowing and fabric degradation, maintaining your dress's pristine condition for future generations through meticulous hand-finishing techniques.
Leather Restoration
Professional leather and suede restoration services revive damaged jackets, coats, and accessories. Using pH-balanced cleaners and colour-fast treatments, we remove stains and repair scuffs without compromising material integrity. Our technicians handle sheepskin, waxed garments, and fur with specialist equipment to restore original texture and appearance.

Curtain cleaning services address dust accumulation, smoke odours, and stains while maintaining fabric weave integrity. We follow care label instructions for delicate materials and offer lining-specific treatments. Post-cleaning hand-finishing ensures smooth draping and extended lifespan for both domestic and commercial window treatments.
