1. Don’t Wait Too Long to Get It Cleaned
After the wedding, it can be easy to throw your wedding dress on a hanger, in the back of your closet, and never revisit it. The stains and dirt collected from your wedding day are inevitable, but the stains becoming permanent aren’t. Time is critical, especially with your wedding dress, and to prevent permanent damage, you must act fast. Ideally, we recommend the window of 2-4 weeks after the wedding to bring in your wedding dress to get dry cleaned.
Rytina wants you to be prepared with all the tips and tricks for preserving your wedding dress, beginning with identifying stains you can’t see.
2. Identify Stains You Can’t See
Professional inspection is essential for all the stains that go unseen. Many stains are easy to notice, especially on a pristine white wedding dress, but what about the stains that hide? Stains from sweat, sugar, or white wine tend to go unnoticed on wedding dresses, and for good reason. It can be hard to tell whether or not a stain is there, so getting your wedding dress professionally inspected and dry cleaned is always the right choice. At Rytina, we offer professional wedding gown cleaning and preservation services.
3. Choose a Professional Cleaner with Bridal Experience
Choosing a professional cleaner with bridal experience, good reviews, and preservation options is vital for the care and preservation of your dress.
The Rytina Process for wedding dress cleaning and preservation
Rytina specializes in restoring your dress to its original beauty.
We use gentle cleaning methods to remove dirt, stains, and debris from wedding dresses, making them look like they were never worn. Once thoroughly cleaned, we use high-grade acid-free materials to package your dress and ensure the fabric remains pristine. We carefully package your dress in a museum-quality preservation box. The box and tissue protect it from outside light, moisture, and pests to preserve the quality of the fabric for years to come. Our garment experts can repair rips, tears, and stains if your dress is damaged. Our skilled team can also restore damaged garment colors that look dull or dirty.
From cleaning to boxing, we value each step of our process equally because it matters. We love giving our customers the feeling of opening a brand new gown.
4. Store It Safely to Prevent Damage
After receiving your gown, we recommend keeping it in a cool, dark, and dry space, avoiding hangers and plastic garment bags. We also recommend periodically checking up on it to ensure no further damage has occurred.
