WEDDING GOWN PRESERVATION

Preserve the moment.

Preservation is the cleaning and packaging of your treasured wedding gown using View Cleaners 4-step process and following our storage guidelines to “preserve the moment” for years to come. It is highly recommended to clean your wedding dress soon after your big day to avoid further settling of stains in the fabric.

01 Inspection

First, a picture of your gown is taken. Then, the garment is analyzed for potential problems and current conditions. Next, a care method is prescribed for that individual garment based on its condition and the guidelines provided in its care label. The gown is then hand-carried through each of the next three steps.

02 Custom Cleaning

The gown is individually cleaned as prescribed by the inspection process to remove all soils and contaminants to the best of our ability.

We have three cleaning systems available for every type of wedding gown made to date.

  • Traditional petroleum solvent
  • Synthetic solvent
  • Enviro-safe wet cleaning

Even if the care label in your gown requires spot cleaning, we have skilled technicians using the latest methods to service your priceless wedding gown.

03 Hand Finishing

Your gown is then pressed by hand under careful supervision. No machines are used on your delicate wedding dress.

04 Packaging

A picture of your gown is taken before it is packaged. This picture is attached to the outside of the package for your peace of mind.

Then, your gown is wrapped in acid free tissue paper and placed in an acid-free interior box. This box is wrapped in plastic and then placed in an exterior box. The exterior box will be wrapped in plastic for shipping.

02 Storage

Your gown should be stored at 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity level of 55%. You must keep your gown away from excess heat and moisture, as it will affect the dyes, turning the gown yellow over time.
