Bridal Gown Cleaning and Care Tips: For Very Special Care of Your Very Special Bridal Gown.

Always... hang your wedding gown by loops inside the gown that are connected to sturdy side seams, never by fragile shoulder seams that can stretch or sag.

Always... avoid storing your wedding gown in plastic bags or vacuum-sealed, plastic wrapped containers because plastic emits fumes that can yellow your bridal gown and trap moisture that mildews your wedding gown.

Always... ask what precautions the specialist takes to protect delicate trims and decorations on your wedding gown and how the cleaner guards against latent stains on your wedding gown.

Always... choose a specialist who will personally process your bridal gown, never one who sends your bridal gown away to be cleaned.

Always... ask to inspect your wedding gown personally before it is put into the container, which should be a completely acid-free museum quality archival wedding chest lined with fabric or acid-free tissue.

Always... avoid storing your bridal gown in the attic or basement where there are extreme changes in temperature or humidity.
