At
Jan's Professional Dry Cleaners, Museum Quality Cleaning, Packaging
and Preservation is a Specialty.

Please allow us the privilege to hand-clean and hand-press your bridal
dress. You can count on Jan's Professional Dry Cleaners to give your
lovely dress the attention it deserves.
Complimentary evaluation: Our preservation specialist will gladly
give you a free consultation and estimate for the care of any fabric,
new or old.
Hand cleaning: We hand treat and clean each dress individually on
our premises - never in combination with other dresses
Anti-Stain Treatment: Spills containing sugar, salt and acid often
dry clear and cannot be seen, These latent stains do not dissolve
during ordinary dry cleaning and turn an ugly brown over time. Our
unique anti-stain treatment ensures that all sugar, salt and acid
stains are removed.
Personal Inspection: You may arrange to inspect your wedding dress
before preservation is completed. Should you desire to view the
preservation of your dress we will proudly accommodate your request.
Environmentally Pure, Lasting Protection: Vacuum or plastic seals
and other acidic materials damage dresses. Our preservation specialist
places your dress in a custom designed acid-free archival wedding
chest, wraps your dress in pre-washed bleached muslin, places acid-free
tissue paper in all the folds to buffer potential wrinkles and slips
it into an optional, beautiful muslin sleeve.
Because you want the beauty of your wedding day to last forever,
we take great pride in our professional, national certifications:

DRESS PRESERVATION
Besides your groom, and perhaps your engagement ring - your Bridal
Dress is one of your most precious and carefully chosen possessions
for this glorious and happy occasion. The Professionals at Jan's
Cleaner's in mid-Michigan offer the following tips for taking care
of stains and the cleaning process:
Prior To Your Ceremony
Plan to have your dress and veil professionally steamed/pressed.
Excellent professional dry cleaners will offer to do this for you
as part of the care of your dress.
Strong considerations should be given to what you wish to have
happen with your dress after the wedding. Whatever your desires for
the future, your investment in your dress and its professional care,
cleaning and storage should be near the top of your list of things
to do before, during and after the wedding.
Perhaps you wish to make it a keepsake, perhaps you hope to have
your own daughter wear your dress on her wedding day, we've seen
preserved dresses remade into gorgeous and cherished Christening dresses
for children and grandchildren.
Ask the provider of your dress how the dress should be cleaned and
if the trim should be cleaned the same way. Ask for cleaning instructions
in writing if possible.
Your dress most likely will pick up invisible stains from food,
beverages, make up and body oils (yours and those of all the huggers
& kissers!) If these stains are not properly removed, they may
become permanent. Please try to identify the areas you know may
be stained.
Storing
Your Dress
Remove extra padding, metal hooks and buttons which can rust and
discolor over time. These notions can be stored in separate packaging
along with your dress.
Protect your dress investment by storing it in acid-free paper and
unbleached muslin protective wraps.
Store your dress, folded and packaged flat in a restorative quality
box. All the fabric stress typically caused by the dress's weight
on a hanger is eliminated when stored this way.
Freshly cleaned and wrapped in protective covers, your dress should
be stored in a safe, temperature controlled room. Under the bed
in your guest room is one great place to store your cleaned and
preserved dress. Extreme temperatures of attics and basements can
cause great harm to your dress.
