Garment Care Processes
At Garment Care, we achieve the great results we are known for by upholding quality, on each garment. To guarantee consistent quality, we work with carefully curated processes for all Garment Care garments. Using our strengths of experience, skill, and attention to detail with trusted and eco- friendly technologies, which guarantees that every service is accompanied by an assurance of excellence, and ultimate Customer Satisfaction.
1. DETAILING
When a garment arrives at Garment Care, the first process we perform is detailing. The piece is inspected to establish fabric type and composition techniques. It then undergoes surface surveying, allowing us to locate, identify and log marks or imperfections. Our experts then temporarily remove or protect buttons, detailing, and embellishments in preparation for cleaning.
2. MINOR REPAIRS
During detailing, our experts take note of any repairs that may need carrying out on your garments. We then discuss these with you to outline them and factor them into your cleaning. With experience and skill, our craftspeople can secure hems, attend to open seams, fasten loose buttons and reinstate missing features.
3. STAIN REMOVAL
Stain removal is one of the most important procedures in our seven-point garment care process. During detailing, we identify marks or stains that are unlikely to be eradicated by the standard cleaning process. Our skilled experts then focus on these areas to lift the marks as gently as possible. For this, they will draw upon proven traditional methods or advanced modern techniques.
4. WASHING
After evaluating materials, construction and detailing, our experts pinpoint the most suitable treatment, including hand-cleaning, laundering or dry cleaning. For dry cleaning, we use only the gentlest non-toxic chemicals. Meticulous attention, first-rate technology and the greenest possible cleaning methods allow us to achieve our unsurpassed results.
5. HAND FINISHING
The treatment of your garments does not end with being spotlessly clean. At Garment Care, perfection is our primary benchmark and we ensure these standards are carried through to garment aftercare. Hand-finishing is an essential part of ensuring your shirts, dresses and home textiles look impeccable after cleaning. Pressers of the highest standard individually finish your garment to your specific requirements.
6. INSPECTION
Following the first five stages, our experts inspect your garments to ensure each process has been carried out to perfection. Formal inspection takes place, with attention paid to cleanliness, appearance, the quality of any repair work carried out and impeccable hand-finishing. This ensures that every item entrusted to our care is returned to you in flawless condition.
7. PACKAGING
At Garment Care, we appreciate the impact of aesthetics and know that effective packaging is vital for your items’ secure delivery. We ensure garments are returned safely to your wardrobe. As an environmentally responsible organization, we take every opportunity to minimize packaging, recycle and reduce waste wherever possible.
