For keeping such garments in their best condition, proper cleaning and maintenance is very important.


How to care for your beaded dress in Cambridge

The cleaning and maintenance of our dress depend on the type of fabric used and decoration on it. Some dresses are dry cleanable while other are strictly for hand wash.

Sometimes, we find difficulty to find the right procedure of cleaning because of beads and sequins. Especially, if they are attached with the glue. In that case, chances are quite high that dry cleaning can damage the dress.

We should always follow the manufacturer’s care label instructions for cleaning our adorned garments.

We should not take chance of cleaning our delicate and expensive dress at home without professional’s advice. The advice of professional dry cleaner is always recommended to find the best way of cleaning it.

We should select a local professional dry cleaner with good reviews for cleaning our adorned garments.

Different fabric requires different type of cleaning. For some types of fabric spot clean is recommended instead of entire garment. Before cleaning testing of beads and sequins is always a good.

The best way of drying them is gentle squeeze and flat drying. Tumble drying can damage the fabric.

We should only steam iron the garment for perfect finish. We can keep it in steamy bathroom for removing the crease.
