Specialty Dry Cleaning on Staten Island

 





  Some designer clothes need alternative cleaning techniques because they have beading, unusual fabric, ornamentation, or special trim. Recently, a client brought in an Oscar de Le Renata cocktail dress that retails for over 5,000 dollars. This stunning organza dress was embellished with feathers. This delicate dress needed special care. At   Mario's French Dry Cleaners we have a highly trained staff that inspects your garment before, during, and after processing. They will advise you on alternative cleaning techniques for your garment. We specialize in cleaning garments that other dry cleaners turn away.

     Our approach takes into account the type of fabric, its condition, and other factors to determine a cleaning stratagy. Your garment may be dry cleaned,  spot cleaned,  or wet cleaned. In this particular case the dress was tested to ascertain which method was the best.  We choose to spot clean it.  As you can see, the dress came out beautifully. Most of these type of garments are cleaned carefully by hand.  So, when you walk out wearing your special dress, it will look the same way it did when you bought it.

  If you love wearing high end designer clothes like Gucci, Chanel, Prada, and many others bring them straight to Mario's French Dry Cleaners as we are masterful at cleaning the impossible. Don't take our word for it ?   We were recently voted the best dry cleaner on Staten Island by the Readers' Choice Awards.  It's rewarding to be trusted by our customers.  We love what we do!
