Last week, the ever- fabulous and stylish Rachel Zoe featured a different kind of bag than usually present on her daily online column ” The  Zoe Report.”Has  Jeeves sparked your interest in the latest fashion trend?

Excellent.

Bear in mind this is not about what you are wearing,  but about caring for what you wear… The preferred bag of  Rachel Zoe is none other than the Green Garmento Bag.

The Green Garmento Bag is the latest in eco fashion for it is a 3 in 1 reusable bag to assist you through  every stage of clothing care.

Best of all , your man Jeeves provides these bags through his exclusive Naked Clean service!

At home the bag functions as a  hanging hamper, a laundry bag, a duffel bag, and carrying bag! Once clothing is at Jeeves the bag holds all your dry cleaning and is a hanging garment bag. By incorporating these bags into our Naked Clean service Jeeves guarantees that you and your clothing will never come in contact with plastic.

By supporting the green initiatives of Jeeves and staying fashionably and environmentally conscious through the use of a Green Garmento Bag you are:

The Naked Clean service offered by Jeeves is truly the greenest method of dry cleaning available in New York City. Your clothing is cleansed in pure liquid CO2 in the ECO2Cleanse process, and then packaged in a reusable garment bag.

If the words of Rachel Zoe and your man Jeeves aren’t enough to encourage you to make the switch then follow the simple words The Green Garmento; ” Be Fantastic and Use Less Plastic”

As a gentleman with an appreciate for fashion and a love of fine garments, your man Jeeves can not grasp the notion of clothing that is ripped & torn before ever leaving the hanger! Perhaps Jeeves is a bit of an old timer, but it is usually when clothing starts to get holes and is worn out that you consider parting with the item that has clearly become a wardrobe staple and finding a replacement ASAP.

If you have not adopted the look of Lindsay Lohan and still admire all your wardrobe pieces in their non tattered glory then you should seek out a cleaning method, such as the ECO2 Cleanse process at Jeeves New York that significantly reduces the wear and tear on your wardrobe. The gentle cleaning process literally has your clothing floating through what can only be described as champagne bubbles.

Don’t be confused that your man Jeeves is using bubbly to clean clothing, rather this method is so gentle and so safe that you the same substance used for cleaning can also be imbibed.

Since your clothing floats through this process, it is not introduced to the sides of the machine where damage usually occurs, therefore greatly extending the lifetime of your wardrobe. Your man Jeeves does not exclude torn fashions from his cleaning either and would recommend his ECO2 Cleanse process even more so that the pieces do not tear more.

For the best in luxury cleaning in NYC, come visit your man Jeeves.

What a gorgeous March day for all of New York to gather and attend the annual St. Patrick’s day parade. Although your man Jeeves has been hard at work all day long, he can hear the crowds through the open shop door.

Jeeves was surprised to learn that the parade tradition did not originate in another cross Atlantic country, but rather right here in New York City. Every hue of green that has whizzed past the store today have been so vibrant in the sun you would think they were almost found in nature.

Your man Jeeves does not care much for the color green as he believes it to not be particularly flattering, however he does sport some other eye catching shades that are kept nice and vibrant by Jeeves’ ECO2 Cleanse system. The chemical free nature of the process does not expose the dyes to damaging components that cause colors to fade. If you have not tried Jeeves’ ECO2 Cleanse system , you should give it a try now just in time for Spring and Summer when colors will be everywhere!

In addition to  using ECO2 Cleanse your man Jeeves has a few more suggestions to help you keep your clothes fresh and bright:

• Follow Care Labels exactly, if it says ” wash cold” WASH COLD!
• Don’t store in bright light this will cause colors to fade
• Be careful with cosmetics, perfumes, and deodorants! Some will cause bright colors to become faded or discolored. Try to remember to apply all of these a few minutes before dressing

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Jeeves!

For couture  cleaning NYC and formal wear cleaning NYC Jeeves New York is the best choice in Manhattan.

After the last model had walked, and the house lights went dark in one of the last fashion shows to ever be held at Bryant Park, the real work began for your man Jeeves and his cleaning team.

As mentioned before Jeeves had been entrusted by representatives from Fashion for Relief as well as Net-A-Porter to clean and transport all the garments worn during the show held during New York  Fall 2010 Fashion Week.  As you can see from the picture above your man Jeeves has his hands very full of couture.

Once off the catwalk and back at Jeeves’ garment care workshop the clothes were analyzed by his team of craftsmen to ensure that they received Jeeves’ full white glove treatment. After careful analysis, it was  decided that all donated garments must be cleaned by hand due to the responsibility of cleaning these one of a kind couture gowns.

Your man Jeeves would have hated to see the fine details and incredible construction of these beautiful gowns lose their unique presence due to improper cleaning, so the only solution  was to clean every piece by hand. This meant much more work for Jeeves and his team, but no one minded for such a charitable cause.

After a long weekend of cleaning,  your man Jeeves returned each and every gown to its original pristine condition and hand delivered them to Net-A-Porter who will be auctioning off the gowns after the London show has been completed. All proceeds from the online auction beginning March 15 will benefit CARE, an organization working towards rebuilding the healthcare system in Haiti.

Your man Jeeves can’t wait to see what fabulous looks go down the runway at the London Fashion for Relief event. Like Jeeves New York, Jeeves of London has been entrusted to clean and handle the couture for the Fashion For Relief show being held tongiht  in just a week after the New York show. He can only extend his empathy towards Jeeves London because he knows all the hard work they have ahead of them.

You may recognize the gown above as the gorgeous piece worn by Sarah Ferguson, also entrusted to your man Jeeves is the now famous Burberry ensemble worn by Agyness Deyn complete with those 7 in. platforms that caused her to take quite the tumble 2x! All the pieces by Alexander McQueen that Jeeves had worked with backstage are not available for auction, for all of his pieces are being returned to his estate. Jeeves was so excited when he was sorting through the racks to find the stunning cerulean gown worn by none other than Naomi Campbell herself that required the Jeeves touch.

For all your couture cleaning needs, or perhaps those pieces that require a second or even third look come visit your man Jeeves, for the best couture cleaning in New York.

After an exciting but exhausting weekend, Jeeves was thrilled to be in the audience for the show of one of his favorite men’s designers, Perry Ellis and not be tucked away backstage.

As soon as the first look hit the runway your man Jeeves already knew he was going to be very busy next fall if these looks are indicative of what is to come. With jackets in deep hues, and made of distinct materials including goat skin had Jeeves on the edge of his seat for what would be next down the runway.

Jeeves was very excited to see that velvet blazers would be returning to the stores next fall, but with a little more flare for the dramatic with their leather trimming.  There was no shortage of fitted suits perfect for your man Jeeves and his clients.

If you also enjoyed the Perry Ellis Fall 2010 collection just remember that your man Jeeves offers the best leather cleaning in NYC, and his chemical free ECO2 Cleanse process will keep your suits looking sharp and odorless!

As the weekend approaches, so does the impending doom of yet another winter storm bringing with it lots of frozen precipitation, and the need for the warmest of your outerwear.

Your man Jeeves has had just about enough of these cold New York days, and is certainly ready for spring and the warmer weather. However, on these brisk days he braves the streets wearing his down jacket which he only used to wear on the exceptionally cold days because it was quite an ordeal to clean.

In the past Jeeves had avoided cleaning this jacket at great lengths due to the fact that the first one he purchased when arriving in the US was almost ruined because of his ignorance to care for a garment he was unfamiliar with.

Many down jackets instruct the consumer NOT to dry clean these jackets. Why? Typically, in the dry cleaning process the feathers all clump together so that their warmth is no longer distributed throughout the entire jacket. Worst of all, the chemical odor lingers in the feathers and follows you everywhere.

The same results tend to happen with home cleaning sans the cleaning odor, but with the added potential for a devastating headache as many cleaning professionals instruct that tennis balls or sneakers be placed in the dryer with the jacket to help redistribute the feathers.

This cleaning was a futile effort for your man Jeeves until now. With the introduction of the CO2 machine, and this being Jeeves’ first winter with the ECO2 Cleanse process he figured he would try his luck. By this point he had tried everything else…

Before cleaning Jeeves was very hopeful, for he had helped Mrs. Jeeves during the last snow blast, and had seriously soiled his jacket. In case you were unaware your man Jeeves LOVES color, so his vibrant jacket does not conceal stains well.

The results were remarkable! The jacket was removed from the machine spotless, odorless, and colder than the temperature outside the store. Your man Jeeves felt like he had just received a brand new jacket and it only took half the time of regular dry cleaning.

CO2 dry cleaning is able to clean any down jacket much better than any other process and in much less time.

For all your down jacket cleaning needs come visit your man Jeeves, the only luxury garment care firm with CO2 in all of Manhattan.

The majority of Jeeves’ family still lives on the other side of the Atlantic, so he greatly anticipates their weekly chats. Your man Jeeves is a little behind the times and has not quite figured out skyping yet, so he still relies on the telephone. When he rang his youngest brother, Alfred this week they discussed a similar trend between their two businesses (Alfred handles luxury garments as well).

The conclusion that these two gentlemen came to is the astounding volume of items left behind in the pockets of dry cleaning clients.

A study conducted in the U. K. stated that almost 5,000 memory sticks and portable devices were found in pockets across 100 dry cleaners last year alone. This study was conducted by a security firm , Credant Technologies in an effort to emphasize why information on devices such as these should be encrypted.

Your man Jeeves does not care much for what this study is implying about the general public’s disposition, but does recognize the need for concern and precaution.

If you are someone who deals with highly personal or sensitive information Jeeves recommends that you not download unprotected information or other information to portable storage devices that if lost could lead to a breach in security or worse.

• Your man Jeeves has a few suggestions to help you keep track of your personal belongings:
• Empty your pockets when undressing
• Place items of value in a briefcase or purse
• If you must place them in a pocket check to make sure there are no holes
• Take a few extra minutes before sending clothes out to check your pockets

Rest assured that anything you forget to remove from your pockets before you send it to Jeeves for cleaning will be returned to you. Jeeves’ staff carefully attends to all pockets before cleaning to ensure that nothing is ruined or lost.

The door clicked into a locked position, as the technician rotated the door hatch. She checked the visual indicator to make sure the seal was not breached and then glanced at the computer screen to initiate the pressurization sequence.

Carbon dioxide began to pump from the holding tanks into the chamber as the pressure went from sea level to 650 PSI.  The carbon dioxide began to transform into a liquid, exactly what the technician needed.

Once the desired result had been achieved, the cylinder depressurized, and the CO2 returned to its original state as a gas.

When the technician released the hatch and opened the door she witnessed something remarkable…

Her blouse and jacket from the night before had been cleaned. Perfectly.

If you’re thinking that your man Jeeves has a soft spot for science fiction, think again.  Described above is the Eco2 Cleanse process, available at Jeeves NY, and is the newest most technologically advanced way to clean clothes.

Little has changed since the evolution of dry cleaning over the last 150 years, and your man Jeeves has always understood the fundamentals of clothes washing, garments are washed in a liquid (either a petrochemical or water), soap is added to remove stains and then dried using heat.

CO2 dry cleaning changed every one of Jeeves’ beliefs about the cleaning process when he was first introduced to Eco2 Cleanse. Although clothes are still washed in a liquid, the physical properties of CO2 allow clothing to be cleaned in a heat free environment so they are removed from the machine at near freezing temperatures.

Your man Jeeves has really outdone himself this time with the level of cleaning he is now offering clients due to his exclusive use of CO2 on dry cleaning. This method far surpasses any other dry cleaning method out there.  Jeeves is also preserving your wardrobe by subjecting your garments to less wear-and-tear with his new system!

CO2 dry cleaning right now is very rare with less than 25 firms in the world using this type of technology. Lucky for all you residing in Manhattan, Jeeves of Belgravia can offer you this service, and you can join your man Jeeves in his innovative industry changes.

The CO2 process is also the only method of dry cleaning that has been approved as safe by the EPA.

For dry cleaning New York you can choose traditional dry cleaning which has not evolved in 150 years or turn to your man Jeeves and his new process that is Simply Green, Simply Clean and Simply Better for You.
