We go that extra mile with every item we dry-clean, from covering buttons prior to dry cleaning to prevent damage, to removing items of trim. We also use net bags for delicate garments prior to processing. Each garment is individually inspected and the stain removal is performed by hand by the region’s leading professional.

Modern and vintage designer clothing also benefits from our experience and attention to detail – just leave it to us.

After cleaning, our superior finishing techniques will leave your fabrics looking fantastic. From designer wear to wedding gowns, our range of clothes care techniques are suited to the most discerning clients.

Washing under the right conditions and using the right equipment is known to kill dust mites but it is also important to remove the allergens produced by the mites, which can be the cause of the allergic reactions and, in some people, asthma attacks or other respiratory ailments.

Curtains
One of our specialities is the cleaning of curtains. We can come to your home or office and take away your curtains, clean them and re-hang them for you. The dry-cleaning of curtains is the most effective way to clean your curtains of accumulated dust, dirt and allergens. On-site cleaning is far less effective, producing unsatisfactory results.
We recommend that you dry-clean your curtains every year in order to extend their life. Failure to regularly dry clean your curtains makes the removal of dirt more difficult and, over time, can damage the fabric, especially the lining, as it is the linings which get most exposure to direct sunlight.
We are also happy to repair and alter your curtains by, for example, replacing the linings, shortening and repairing edging where it has become damaged through abrasion.
We can also dry-clean and wet-clean your nets, blinds, pelmets, swags and tails and tie backs. We are happy to provide free estimates for cleaning your curtains.

Wedding Gowns
Most Brides would like their wedding gown restored to pristine condition. Whether you wish to preserve your wedding gown or are going to sell it, we provide the service and unmatched expertise that you require.
A wedding gown is perhaps the most special and poignant garment a lady will ever own. We understand this, and for this reason we are dedicated to providing you with outstanding service in the cleaning of your wedding gown which is performed in five stages in the following procedure:
Stage 1
Your gown will be inspected prior to cleaning to ascertain what treatment will benefit it best.
Stage 2
Your wedding gown then will be pre spotted and treated for specific stain removal and the hems and underskirt(s) treated for mud, grass and general ground dirt. This process takes between one to two hours.
Stage 3
After pre-treating, your gown will be cleaned using the appropriate equipment and materials.
Stage 4
Your wedding gown is re-inspected for any marks that may have become visible after the cleaning process. The whole cycle will be repeated until we are completely satisfied that we have achieved the optimum results. Only then is the gown steam pressed.
Stage 5
Finally, your wedding gown goes on to be packed in a wedding gown non woven garment bag or packaged in acid free tissue in a specially designed handmade storage box.
Wedding gowns are priced individually based on how elaborate the gown, it's purchase price and the amount of work required before processing.
Please call us on 01784 454891 for more information on cleaning and prices.
Alternatively email us at info@valettedrycleaners.co.uk giving as full a description of your wedding gown as possible: the make, material, style, whether it is badly stained, whether it has a train. With this information we can usually provide fairly accurate pricing estimates without seeing the dress.

Restoration
Smoke and Fire Damage
We are able to achieve great results on damaged clothing by using special dry-cleaning techniques and products designed specifically for smoke particles and ozone treatment. Counteractants used during the dry-cleaning process break up smoke particles, and ozone, which is created from oxygen in the air, neutralises smoke odour.
We can help restore clothing and textiles that would otherwise be unusable by using the appropriate restoration dry-cleaning techniques. Please contact us for further information.

Clothes Care Tips
When a garment is not in use, empty it's and hang it on a solid shaped and curved hanger. This helps prevent distortion in the shape of the garment.
Protect your clothes from moths by having them dry cleaned (moths love dirty clothes), store them in cloth bags out of season and place a natural anti moth like Collibri in your wardrobes and drawers. Discouraging the adult moth from laying it’s larvae on your clothes can help save you from the distress of having holes in them. Although, moth damage can be repaired by a process known as reweaving, it is extremely expensive so a preventative measure is far more economical and headache free.
Don’t store your clothes in the polythene (especially whites and pastel colours) as poly contains anti static agent which, after a while and when it is warm, it gives off gases which will oxidise the garment, which will leave yellowish stains which are impossible to remove.
When storing your clothes keep them out of sunlight and artificial light. Ultra violet light damages the dyes in clothes.
Rotating your wardrobe between seasons has the advantage of stopping your clothes from getting squashed and creased. Clothes like to breathe!
The main cause of wear in clothes is friction, dirt, dust and grit that accumulate in the fabric. Regular brushing does much to prolong their life.
Storing expensive garments in non woven breathable garment bags is very important in prolonging their life.
The colour of pure white garments can change through re-deposition, home washing and exposure to lengthy periods in direct sunlight because optical brightness agents are used to make fabrics bright white and they can fade or go dull in bright light. br />
Delimitation can take place in jackets. This is the breaking down of the shell and interlining which is caused by defective bonding at the manufacturing stage. This can sometimes be improved by professional dry-cleaning.
Leather and Suede Garments…unless the wrinkles are a design feature, you can use a low-temperature dry hand iron. Never use steam. Place brown paper between the iron and garment and constantly move the iron to avoid overheating the leather. Too much heat will cause discolouration and damage to leather and suede.
Leather and suede require special expertise for proper care. The best way to keep your suede jacket looking like velvet is to brush it lightly, and regularly. Leather and suede need to be reconditioned periodically to ensure that suede doesn't fade, and that surface cracks don't develop on finished leather due to dryness. Smooth leathers in good condition can be re-conditioned at home with Fine Leather Lotion.
Always store Leather and Suede garments in breathable garment bags during off season periods.
In many cases, even a badly stained leather or suede garment can be saved, but each one can be different. There are many variables when you take in to account the cause of the stain with different types of leather. Most manufacturers recommend that leather garments be cleaned by a professional leather cleaning company. We recommend that all leather garments be cleaned once a year irrespective of whether they are stained or not.
We can help by dry cleaning, laundering clothing and reweaving holes. By acting fast you can save a lot of money in having to replace badly damaged items. We recommend that moth repellent be used in each wardrobe and chest of drawers to eliminate this problem. This is far more economical way to protect your garments, as reweaving is extremely expensive.

Moth Damaged Clothing
We often see the damage caused by moths to clothing. The larvae have an ability to turn the protein in natural fibres such as wool and silk into a food source. As a consequence they can damage a lot of clothing.We can help by dry cleaning, laundering clothing and reweaving holes. By acting fast you can save a lot of money in having to replace badly damaged items. We recommend that moth repellent be used in each wardrobe and chest of drawers to eliminate this problem.
