Scientific fact states that dry-cleaning alone will not remove sugar residue from your wedding gown. Since most beverages and foods contain sugar, it is almost impossible to avoid getting some on your gown. If we can see the sugar, we can remove it. It is the sugar residue that dries clear that creates the problem. If left untreated this sugar residue will start to caramelize over time creating an unsightly brown stain that is not easily removed.

The exclusive Anti-Sugar process removes any sugar residue left in your gown after our careful pre-spotting and dry cleaning. This eliminates any possibility of a caramelized sugar stain from forming.

The materials used to fabricate the inner chamber of this product are acid-free and sulphur-free. Future storage conditions could cause volatile and migrating acids to form. Calcium carbonate, an alkaline buffer, has been added to the paperboard to alleviate this deterioration. In addition, lignin, a natural adhesive found in trees has been removed because of its acidic properties. Multi layered construction also helps lock out moisture, mildew, moths, dirt, and dust.

Avoid these common mistakes when storing your gown

Don’t hang a wedding gown for a prolonged period of time or it will stretch and sag.
Don’t seal fragile gowns in plastic bags. Plastic attracts moisture but cannot absorb it. This moisture will attack your gown promoting mildew and fabric rot.
Don’t expose gowns to strong light or open air. Dust, dirt and sunlight can cause deterioration.
