Common mistakes made when storing your wedding gown

• Don’t hang a wedding gown over a prolonged period because it will stretch and sag.
• Don’t seal fragile gowns in plastic bags.  Plastic attracts moisture but cannot absorb it.  This moisture will attack your gown, promoting mildew and fabric rot.
• Don’t expose gown to strong light or open air.  Dust, air and sunlight cause deterioration.
• Give your wedding gown and other cherished heirlooms a life-giving treat that can preserve your heirlooms for future generations.  Entrust them to Classic Care Cleaners for the ultimate in care-cleaning, treating and protective packaging.
• Classic Care’s unique process protects fabrics from carmelization of sugar stains and our unique service protects fabrics from light, dust, bacteria, moths and other airborne pollutants that destroy its loveliness and its true color.
