Suit Cleaning Sale

Ice cream, frozen desserts, burgers and hot dogs, lying in the grass and looking at the clouds - all these are SUMMER FUN things that could result in stains!  For all your dry clean articles, bring in the stained garment as soon as possible, and we'll return it cleaned and pressed.

For your washable items, usually the quicker you take care of the stain, the easier it will be to remove. Grass stains - Apply a pre-treatment product for grass stains.  If the stains are still present, try using an oxygen bleach for colors or a chlorine bleach for whites. 

So go on, sit on the grass, enjoy the barbeques, after all, it's SUMMER.

Q. How do you remove deodorant and antiperspirant residue?

 A.  Most people don't realize that prolonged contact with deodorants and antiperspirants may cause permanent damage to clothing.  The most frequent damage is caused by overuse of these products or infrequent cleanings.  This leads to the buildup of a stiff, caked-up residue or to fabric damage.

To prevent chemical damage, do not overuse the product and allow it to  dry before dressing.  Wear dress shields with silk garments.  Acidic antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride, which may change the color of some dyes.  After prolonged contact with these products, they can eventually yellow the fabric or result in a color change of the fabric in the affected area.  To remove residue on washable garments, wash as soon as possible after wear in the hottest water safe for the fabric.  Soaking in a detergent containing enzymes or an enzyme presoak may be necessary.  If the stain remains, try using 3% hydrogen peroxide or chlorine bleach,  according to fiber type or care label instructions.  Before using, test for colorfastness by applying to an unexposed area.  Let stand for five minutes.  If the color is affected, don't use the products.
