One of the most important outfits and clothing pieces for a woman is probably the wedding gown. Wedding gowns can either be rented for as long as the wedding lasts or bough so the bride can keep it and preserve it for future generations. Wedding gowns can become an amazing piece of memory from the happiest day of your life, or even e greater gift for your daughter or granddaughter, thus making preservation essential.

Preservation might seem easy at first but it involves a few important steps. First of all, the wedding dress needs to be cleaned. Cleaning should be done by a professional team, ideally a dry cleaning company that knows how to treat wedding gowns. Wedding dresses can take a lot of stains, starting from yellowing of the bottom part from ground contact, to Champaign spills that are not visible at the beginning. Next, the dress has to be folded properly. In order to preserve it correctly, you need to find a big box so the dress does not need to be folded many times. The box should also be stored somewhere away from direct sunlight, insects or dampness. In addition, the dress should not be wrapped in plastic, instead use clean cotton bags or tissues before putting it in the box, and do not forget to open the box once a year.

As previously mentioned, cleaning is an essential part of the process. People living in Naples Florida can benefit from the ten year experience of the dry cleaning company Champion Cleaners. Since wedding gowns need careful care due to their delicate fabrics and textiles, Champion Cleaners provides great attention to them. Their first step is to look at the instructions provided by the manufacturer and start the cleaning process according to them. They pay careful attention to the accessories and put everything in a breathable and safe packag following the same conservation techniques as museums.
