Dry Cleaning
How long does dry cleaning take?
Most standard dry cleaning orders are ready in 2-3 business days. Same-day and next-day rush service is available on request — call us before 10 a.m. to schedule.
Do you use safe, eco-friendly solvents?
Yes. We use green-certified solvents that are gentler on fabrics, safer for your skin, and better for the environment than the older perchloroethylene (perc) systems.
Can you remove tough stains like wine, oil, or ink?
In most cases, yes. We hand-treat every stain individually with the right solvent for the fabric and stain type. The sooner you bring it in, the better the results.
What fabrics can you clean?
Wool, silk, cashmere, linen, rayon, polyester, cotton, suede, leather, and most blends. We adjust our process for each fabric.
Will dry cleaning shrink or fade my clothes?
No. Dry cleaning uses solvent rather than water, so fabrics do not swell, shrink, or bleed. We test colorfastness on anything we are unsure about before treating the full garment.
Do you replace missing buttons?
Yes — basic button replacement is included free of charge with every dry cleaning order. We carry a wide selection of common button styles.
Do you clean leather and suede?
Yes. We hand-clean leather and suede garments with specialty solvents and conditioners that protect the finish, restore softness, and extend the life of the piece.

Yes — free pickup and delivery throughout Doylestown, New Hope, Warrington, Buckingham, Newtown, and surrounding Bucks County. Call (215) 345-9952.
Alterations & Tailoring
How long do alterations take?
Most basic alterations (hems, button repairs, waist adjustments) are ready in 5-7 business days. Bridal and formalwear alterations typically require 2-4 weeks and 1-3 fittings.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome for quick drop-offs and quotes. For bridal, formalwear, or anything that needs detailed pinning, we recommend scheduling a fitting.
How much do alterations cost?
Pant hems start at around $14.99, jacket and shirt resizing starts at around $29.99, and bridal alterations start at around $149. Final pricing is given in person at your fitting.
Can you alter a wedding dress?
Yes — bridal alterations are one of our specialties. We handle bodice work, hems, bustles, strap adjustments, and embellishment work on lace, beadwork, and silk.
Can you repair a torn or damaged garment?
In most cases, yes. We repair tears, holes, broken zippers, worn cuffs, lost linings, and weak seams. Bring the garment in and we will let you know exactly what is possible.
Do you alter leather and suede?
Yes, our tailors are experienced with leather, suede, and faux-leather garments using specialized needles and techniques on every leather job.
What should I bring to my fitting?
Bring the garment and the shoes you plan to wear with it (especially for hems). For dresses, bring any undergarments you will be wearing on the day.

Wedding Gown Cleaning & Preservation
How soon after the wedding should I clean my gown?
As soon as possible — ideally within 2-4 weeks. Even invisible stains from champagne, sweat, or sugar-based spills will oxidize and turn brown over time.
Can you remove red wine, lipstick, or grass stains?
Yes — we successfully remove approximately 95% of stains, including red wine, champagne, lipstick, makeup, grass, mud, blood, and food.
Is dry cleaning safe for delicate beadwork, lace, and silk?
Absolutely. We hand-clean every gown using gentle eco-friendly solvents specifically chosen for delicate bridal fabrics.
How long does wedding gown preservation take?
Standard cleaning is typically ready in 2-3 weeks. Full museum-quality preservation, including the archival box and sealed viewing window, takes 4-6 weeks.
What does wedding gown preservation actually do?
Preservation cleans your gown, then carefully folds and packs it with acid-free tissue inside a sealed, archival-quality box that blocks light, air, dust, and humidity.
Can I store my wedding dress at home in a garment bag instead?
We do not recommend it. Plastic garment bags trap moisture and off-gas chemicals that can yellow fabric. A sealed acid-free preservation box solves all of these issues.
How much does wedding gown cleaning and preservation cost?
Cleaning typically starts around $179, and full cleaning + museum preservation typically starts around $329. We provide an exact written quote in person at drop-off.
Do you offer pickup and delivery for wedding gowns?
Yes — free pickup and delivery throughout Doylestown, New Hope, Warrington, Buckingham, Newtown, and surrounding Bucks County. Call (215) 345-9952.

Most wash and fold orders are returned within 24 hours. Drop off by 9 a.m. and your laundry is typically ready by the next afternoon.
How much does wash and fold cost?
Wash and fold starts at $1.99 per pound with a 10 lb minimum. Weekly family plans start at $34.99 per week and include free pickup and delivery.
What detergent do you use?
We use hypoallergenic, allergy-safe detergents by default. If you prefer a specific brand, scent-free, or extra fabric softener, just let us know.
Will my colors run or my clothes shrink?
No. We sort darks from lights, wash in your preferred temperature, and use the dryer setting you choose. We can air-dry or low-heat-dry sensitive items.
Do you treat stains in regular laundry?
Yes — we spot-treat any visible stains before the wash cycle. For deep or set-in stains, dry cleaning may be more effective.
Can I combine laundry with dry cleaning on one order?
Absolutely. Bag your laundry separately from dry cleaning items and we will process both on the same ticket with one pickup and one delivery.
Household Items
Can you clean down comforters and duvets?
Yes — we have specialized equipment and dry cycles designed specifically for down and natural fill. Your comforter comes back fluffy, lofted, and clump-free.

King comforters typically start around $34.99 depending on fill type and any stain treatment required. We give you an exact quote at drop-off.
Can you clean drapes without taking them down?
Drapes need to be removed before cleaning so we can fully clean every panel. We can recommend a local installer if you would like help taking them down.
How long does household cleaning take?
Most household orders are ready in 4-7 business days. Larger or specialty items may take a few days longer.
Will cleaning damage delicate or vintage linens?
No — we hand-inspect every piece and adjust our process for delicate or antique fabrics. For heirloom items, mention it at drop-off.
Do you treat pet stains and odors?
Yes. Pet stains and odors get extra spot treatment and a deeper wash cycle. Most can be fully removed if treated promptly.
