Restoration ~

First, each gown is thoroughly inspected for stains and spots. Shoulder pads and bust forms are removed and garment hooks and snaps are closed to avoid damage to the gown.

The most suitable cleaning process is chosen. All processes are safe. Gowns are hand cleaned and inspected at each step of our cleaning process.

Necklines, hemlines and trim are thoroughly evaluated and treated. Special, environmentally safe formulas are used to treat and remove sugars, salts, oils, mud, grass stains and blood.

These stains do not dissolve through an ordinary dry cleaning process and may not be visible to the eye for years to come. Over time, these stains would discolor and destroy the fabric, lace, beading or embroidery.

At Finchdale Bridal Cleaners we have the experience and ability to restore your gown to its natural colour. There is an additional charge for this service as it is a highly specialized, time-consuming process.
