Clothing Tips
Fades, Stains and Spots:
No matter how hard we try, it is practically impossible to keep all
garments clear of stains and spots. Here are some timeless tips to
help you respond to those stains and spots:
-
Blot, never rub a stain. Rubbing can cause damage to the color
or texture of the material.
-
Take note of invisible stains. Sometimes stains disappear as they
dry. When possible take note of these and tell us about them when you
bring your garment in to Red Cap Cleaners. It will allow us to
treat those areas prior to cleaning to ensure the best results
possible.
-
Protect your clothing. Keep stain sources such as perfume, hair
spray, whitening toothpaste and deodorant from coming in contact with
your clothing. They can cause stains, bleaching, discoloring or
weakening of the material.
Spring Storage Solutions
Clean and Store your winter clothes with us at Red Cap Cleaners with
no additional cost. Storage is "free" with drycleaning..
Spring is just around the corner and it's time to start thinking
about packing away the heavy wools and making room for your
spring clothing.
Check the condition of your clothes. Before packing your
clothes away for the season make sure there are no stains on the
items. Dry-clean or wash them as unseen stains can set in over time
and cause damage such as fading.
Store your items in a dry, dark, cool and clean place. Avoid
placing clothes in a warm or wet area such as attic or basement.
This can lead to mold or insects on your clothes. Always make sure
your storage place has been thoroughly cleaned before using it.
Let your garments breathe. Never store clothing in sealed
plastic bags or airtight containers. The lack of ventilation can
cause moisture to form.
Use hangers for delicates. Plastics and padded hangers
work best. Clothing is less likely to experience shape distortion.a |
