Vogue Drycleaners – so much<br />
more than a drycleaning service<br />
Vogue Drycleaners specialise in taking<br />
quality care of your garments, which with<br />
today's busy lifestyle takes a huge load off<br />
the stresses at home.<br />
The beauty of dropping<br />
your clothes off with us<br />
is how convenient it is.<br />
We do the work, and when<br />
you come back your clothes<br />
are ready to wear.<br />
Quality and professionalism<br />
are hallmarks of what we<br />
offer and the process involves<br />
far more than drycleaning.<br />
Every time you drop garments<br />
off, your wardrobe gets a full<br />
service treatment.<br />
Stain removal<br />
Our expert staff check for<br />
stains. If we find any tough<br />
stains, we’ll remove them<br />
based on their chemistry.<br />
Stain removal is part art and<br />
part science. Some stains are<br />
tougher than others but our<br />
team can handle 99.9 percent<br />
of them.<br />
Cleaning<br />
During cleaning, your items<br />
bathe in an EPA-approved<br />
fluid to dissolve grease and<br />
oily stains. Centrifugal force<br />
removes most of the fluid<br />
and soils just like in a home<br />
washer, the rest comes out in<br />
drying. Your clothes come out<br />
smelling fresh but we prefer<br />
to take the wrinkles out before<br />
calling them “Ready to Wear<br />
Fresh®.”<br />
Finishing<br />
We press pants one leg at a<br />
time and blast wrinkles with<br />
150-degree steam while a hot<br />
flat iron flattens and creases<br />
each leg. We get wrinkles<br />
out of the waist and seat with<br />
“puff irons” or a specialised<br />
“pants topper” device. If they<br />
pass our quality inspection,<br />
they're ready for you fresh.<br />
Shirts are a little more involved.<br />
We press shirts by<br />
hand to achieve the best finish<br />
possible to help keep you<br />
looking sharp.<br />
Wedding gowns<br />
We can package these precious<br />
possessions for a sentimental<br />
keepsake or for future<br />
use. This service requires a<br />
great deal of responsibility on<br />
the part of the cleaner and the<br />
customer.<br />
Alterations<br />
We can save you a bundle if<br />
your body changes shape or<br />
size. By altering your garments<br />
you can save the time<br />
and money of going out and<br />
purchasing a new wardrobe.<br />
This is also a popular item<br />
for heirloom wedding gowns,<br />
provided the gown has been<br />
packaged and stored properly.<br />
Waterproofing<br />
Inspection and Assembly<br />
Following the finishing process,<br />
we inspect for missing,<br />
loose, or broken buttons. We<br />
also give the items a detailed<br />
final quality exam to make<br />
sure they are truly “Ready to<br />
Wear Fresh®.”<br />
Wide range of services<br />
available<br />
There’s more to Vogue Drycleaners<br />
than cleaning clothes.<br />
We offer a full suite of other<br />
professional services.<br />
Here are a few of the extras<br />
we can provide:<br />
We have access to some of the<br />
most powerful water repellents<br />
on the market. Stay dry<br />
by taking your wet-weather<br />
gear in for a tune-up regularly<br />
or after particularly harsh use.<br />
Household textiles<br />
We don't just clean clothes.<br />
We also process household<br />
items such as blankets, comforters,<br />
decorative pillows,<br />
rugs, and even upholstery and<br />
draperies.<br />
Extending the life of<br />
garments<br />
As a busy parent, you're already working<br />
overtime. Why not outsource your laundry to us<br />
and get your free time back? Easy drop off and<br />
no more wrinkled shirts!<br />
Frequent cleaning prolongs<br />
the life of a garment.<br />
Stains set with age, making<br />
the garment unwearable,<br />
and ground-in dirt and soil<br />
act as an abrasive, like sandpaper,<br />
causing rapid wear of<br />
fibres.<br />
Also, insects are attracted<br />
to soiled clothes and will<br />
cause further damage.<br />
Buttons and minor repairs<br />
We repair loose buttons or sew<br />
on new ones, if necessary.<br />
Our team of garment care<br />
experts have 80 years of experience<br />
between them. Whatever<br />
your needs, they can help.<br />
Vogue Drycleaners offer the<br />
ultimate in convenient, professional<br />
service.<br />
