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.
Give your wedding gown a life-giving treatment that can
preserve your heirlooms for future generations. Entrust them
