Top Reasons Why You Should Dry Clean Your Summer Dresses

Most of you cannot wait until the temperatures soar so you can wear your summer dresses. Light, airy, comfortable, and so fashionable, summer dresses are your warm weather staples, however, they do require specialized care. That’s because summer dresses are often woven fabrics, which can wrinkle when laundered and dried. Also, high heat from dryers can warp and destroy fibers as well as fade colors and cause shrinkage. However, Cameo by Copeland Cleaners, NYC’s leading fashion dry cleaners since 1934, reminds you that when you dry clean your summer dresses, you will receive them in immaculate condition, with their hues bright, their fabrics crisp, their sizing undisturbed, and, best of all, no wrinkles!

When considering the care of your summer dresses, especially those made from delicate fabrics or featuring intricate details, dry cleaning offers numerous advantages over traditional home washing.

Here are the top reasons why you should have Cameo by Copeland Cleaners dry clean your summer dresses:

• Protected Fabrics: Summer dresses are often made of delicate materials such as silk, linen, chiffon, lace, cotton, and rayon. These fabrics are prone to shrinking, stretching, or losing their shape when exposed to the water and washing machine agitation cycles. In comparison, dry cleaning uses specialized solvents that are gentler on fibers, by allowing them to maintain their original quality, shape, and texture.
• Thorough Stain Removal: Sunscreen, sweat, food spills, and even deodorant can leave stubborn stains on summer dresses. Dry cleaning is highly effective at removing even tough stains that have had time to set-in and that traditional washing methods may not be able to eliminate. Cameo by Copeland Cleaners’ experts can identify different types of stains (even “mystery” stains), then use appropriate processes and solutions to remove them without damaging the fabric.
• Eliminates Color Bleeding and Fading: Washing with water and detergents can cause colors to fade over time, especially in lighter summer dresses. Dry cleaning avoids the use of water and relies on solvents that are less likely to cause color fading or bleeding. This helps to preserve your summer dresses’ vibrant colors, ensuring they look their best for longer, thereby extending their service life, which will also save you money.
• Maintains Shape: Dry cleaning helps to maintain the shape and structure of your dresses, especially those with pleats, gathers, and tailoring. It prevents the shape distortion and shrinkage that can occur with traditional washing methods, thereby maintaining the “custom” fit you love.
• Eliminates Odors: Sweat and body oils can get trapped in summer clothes and cause unpleasant odors. Dry cleaning helps neutralize these compounds and makes your freshly cleaned dresses smell fresh and fragrant.
• Preserves Embellishments: Many summer dresses feature intricate details like beads, sequins, embroidery or laces. Traditional washing methods can damage these embellishments or remove them entirely. Dry cleaning offers a gentler process that protects these features.
• Convenience: Dry cleaning is a convenient way to care for your summer dresses, especially when you have limited time or are dealing with multiple items. Cameo by Copeland Cleaners respects your time. We invite you to call to schedule your pickup and the delivery of your freshly dry cleaned summer clothes is without additional cost.
• Eco-Friendly Options: Many of you are environmentally conscious. So are we! Cameo by Copeland Cleaners uses eco-friendly solvents and practices, making it a more sustainable option than traditional washing.
