Summer has arrived! The evenings are brighter and it’s time to fire the grill. But imagine coming home from a delicious and fun barbecue with your friends and family only to realize you have a big oily sauce stain on your outfit. Thanks a lot burger…! The truth is that barbecue stains are not easy to get out, mainly because the barbecue sauce does not only leave a stained spot on the fabric but also an oily residue.

You can’t see it, but your comforter gets dirtier every night. Everyone loses moisture in their sleep by sweating. On top of that, skin flakes come off while you toss & turn. House dust mites survive off your skin flakes and live in your bed sheets, comforters, & pillows. Moisture and spider relatives in your bed.. You can probably imagine that this isn’t ideal for a good night’s rest. Therefor, it is important to have your comforters (and pillows) cleaned professionally at least once or twice a year.
The Problem:
It’s very likely that at some time or the other, you owned a dress shirt or blouse that had stains, discoloration or even tears after only a few wears. Especially in the armpit area (Hello yellow underarms!). With the warmth of the summer comes the challenge of keeping the underarms of your dress shirts or blouses dry, clean, and most importantly the same color as the rest of the shirt. So you’re probably asking yourself: what happened to my dress shirt or blouse that caused the stain or discoloration? Why can’t I raise my arms in confidence, high five people or give thumbs ups?
It happens to the best of us: You’re about to put on a dress shirt only to realize the collar is yellow — even though you just washed it. In some cases, you may have just gotten it back from the dry cleaner after going through a wash and press shirt service.

Winter season! A season of fresh cold breeze and gentle snow. With our chilly winters, here in The Netherlands, it’s tough to dress warmly without combining fabrics such as cashmere, wool, leather and down into our wardrobe. Most times these fabrics require a large investment when purchased, yet we put very little time and effort in properly cleaning, storing and caring for them.
While some people may consider professional dry cleaning a luxury, someone who fully understands the benefits of dry cleaning, knows it’s not just an option but a necessity. Dry cleaning offers benefits that you can’t ever get from cleaning at home. Although not all clothing requires dry cleaning, but proper care of the items that do is essential for maintaining their beauty and lifespan.

“Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothes.”
Vivienne Westwood said these words a few years back. The message has only gotten firmer with the launch of the documentary “True Cost” last year.
