What is dry cleaning?
Dry cleaning holds similarities to washing your clothes but eliminates the usage of water. Instead of water we utilize a liquid solvent. This liquid solvent is to thank for the avoidance of shrinkage and damage to your garments. After the dry cleaning process your clothes are professionally pressed to rid of any wrinkles left behind.

How often should I have my clothes cleaned?
Garments worn in direct contact to your skin are cleaned ideally after each usage. This would include pants, shirts, blouses etc. When it comes to suits, layered sweaters, sports coats and other items worn as a second layer, it’s a safe rule of thumb to have them cleaned after 2-3 wearings. With our process 95% of bacteria is killed in addition to dust, stains, cologne and anything else your items have picked up throughout their use.
