Weekends and warmer weather usually coincide with invitations to participate in special events such as graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and family reunions. Summer is also the season that most of us find time or a staycation or two or more, traveling to see attractions and events held within a few hundred miles of our homes. When the temperatures start to soar, few outfits are more stylish and comfortable than summer dresses. Consider this posting by Winzer Cleaners, a leading NYC dry cleaning establishment, your call to action to get your favorite summer clothes out of storage (or go shopping to add to your collection) and bring them to our premises before the Summer Season officially starts.
When heat and humidity arrive, you’ll want to appear fresh and bright as the prints on your summer dresses. A common issue is keeping your summer finery looking fresh and appealing all summer long. Dry cleaning is the solution. Frequent cleaning of your dresses made from lighter fabrics is essential to extending their service life while keeping their hues vibrant. However, excessive heat, sweat, food and beverage stains, and wind borne allergens can contribute to fading, wrinkling, and yes, bad odors as well. To begin, when you take your summer dresses out of storage, give Winzer Cleaners a call. As your NYC dry cleaners of choice, we can send our van to pick up and deliver your freshly and thoroughly clean dresses and gowns. It is foolish to try and save a few dollars by washing and drying your summer clothing at the laundromat. You will destroy many items due to fading, shrinkage, and damage to delicate fibers. In addition to the facts stated above, here are three top reasons for dry cleaning your summer dresses:
- Dry Cleaning is Gentle to Fabrics: Washing machine agitation coupled with high heat of a dryer can stretch or shrink many fabrics including silk, linen, and cotton. Let’s not forget that many clothing items have elastic waistbands, which deteriorate in high heat. Dyes can also bleed, leading to fading. Constantly washing summer dresses, shorts, polos, tees, and other warmer weather garments can greatly shorten their lifespan as well as dull their luster.
- Dry Cleaning Thoroughly Removes Allergens and Bacteria: Sweat stains are unsightly, but it is the bacteria that feeds on sweat compounds that create unpleasant odors. On the other side of this spectrum are deodorants. Yes, these chemical formulas include aluminum which reacts with sweat, resulting in yellowing that also degrades your clothing’s fibers. However, dry cleaning your garments ensures they will remain both colorfast, sanitary, as well as maintain their structural integrity.
- Trust the Experts at Your NYC Dry Cleaners, Winzer Cleaners: Few of us ever consult the care labels in our clothing. Most will tell you that the garment should be dry cleaned. Silk, chiffon, lace, organic cotton and linen, essentially all the fabrics used for warm weather clothing, can be effectively dry cleaned by the experts at Winzer Cleaners. Our professionals know the best ways to remove stains, keep your prints and colors bright, and prevent shrinkage without damaging your garments.
