In some parts of the world there is a dry cleaner on every block. What makes one dry cleaner amazing and another barely acceptable?
While the dry cleaning process is standardized, the amount of care taken with your garments varies greatly from company to company.
With dry cleaning, you do get what you pay for. Dry cleaners who are inexpensive cannot afford to hire experienced staff or spend the time for proper testing of garments and stain removal. They usually clean your garment once and if the stain does not come out, they do not try again.
Jeeves, the finest dry cleaner in New York who caters to the luxury market, is so particular about quality they have a unique process called the Seven Stages of Garment Care.
These stages are: Detailing, Stain Removal, Cleaning, Hand Finishing, Minor Repairs, Inspection and Packaging.
The first step, Detailing is the most important.
When a garment arrives at the Jeeves workroom, the first process we perform is detailing. The piece is inspected to establish fabric type and composition. It then undergoes surface surveying, allowing us to locate, identify and log marks or imperfections. Our experts then temporarily remove or protect buttons, fragile details and embellishments in preparation for cleaning. This is important as to insure that fragile trims and buttons are not damaged during cleaning.
Not many dry cleaners take garment care to this level and this is one of seven reason why the quality that is produced by Jeeves is second-to-none.
