Dressing up is one of the best parts about winter. Lots of people adore these chilly months simply because it gives them an opportunity to finally wear those beautiful designer jeans, leather jackets, gorgeous boots and all of those pretty scarves. This is the only season you can really layer your outfit in order to look stylish.
While you are busy unpacking your winter wardrobe you need to make sure that all of those clothing items are still clean, odour free and looking good. You will be surprised at just how much dust clothes can collect while in storage and your clothes are bound to be quite wrinkled. That dusty stored clothing smell also isn’t too pleasant for all-day wear.
Most people love to wash winter garments after unpacking these items. A good wash makes your clothes look fresh, bright, soft and gives a wonderful fragrance. But before you toss the whole lot into your machine, you should know that there are quite a few items that should be handed in at your local dry cleaner. Here is a quick list of items that will look much better if you leave them in the care of professional laundry experts.
- Boots
Your winter shoes, and especially expensive leather shoes, just don’t belong in the washing machine. All of that water, tumbling and pulling just isn’t good for winter boots. Your shoes are likely to end up completely ruined if you machine wash them. The best way to give your winter boots a good clean is by handing them in at our laundry services. Experts will take good care of these shoes and will treat them so they will look like they are brand new.
- Leather Jackets
Don’t ever toss a leather jacket into your washing machine. Leather takes forever to dry, can shrink and can get all wrinkled. Hand these items in at our dry cleaners for professional cleaning without any risk of damaging these expensive garments.
- Designer Jeans
You can wash your designer jeans in the machine but just because you can do something doesn’t mean that it is a good idea. These items are very expensive and every time you toss them into the machine they will get worn out and faded. Hand your designer jeans in at your local dry cleaners whenever they become visibly dirty.
- Suede Jackets and Clothes
Suede fabrics are back in fashion but these velvety items are not made for the machine. Those soft fibres will never look the same again if you toss them into the washing machine or expose them to harsh cleaning chemicals.
- Thick Jackets with a Lining
You probably bought that thick parka jacket because you thought it would be tough, right? Well, in reality, these jackets usually have in inner lining that is quite delicate. In washing machines, this lining tends to tear so hand your thick jackets in at your local dry cleaners.
- Delicate Garments
Unless you are willing to hand wash, delicate garments such as those with embroidery designs, those made of fine and delicate fabrics and those with sequences are best handed in at our dry cleaners. Your washing machine will rip these delicate designs or artworks right off your clothes.
- Fur and Faux Fur
Any fur garments, including those with faux fur inner linings should be handed in at your dry cleaners. Washing machines will pull all of those beautiful furs out and can make the soft fabric feel coarse.
