Look your best for all your wedding related events. Crouse’s Cleaners will carefully press and steam your wedding gown so it’s ready for your ceremony and photos.

At Crouse’s Cleaners, we can also ensure the rest of your wedding party and family look great. Suits, mother of the bride and groom dresses, bridesmaid and flower girls dresses can all be cleaned and pressed too.

Have your gown cleaned and preserved by the Wedding Gown Specialists at Crouse’s Cleaners. All gowns are cleaned on-site and receive individual attention. The following are the steps of cleaning and preservation of a wedding gown.

Inspection: Your gown is inspected for spots, stains and any damage. We look for lace, beading or trim that will require special treatment.

Pre-treatment: Next, we pre-treat any stains by hand. Stains most commonly seen are heavy soil along the hemline, wine, make-up or body oils on the inside of the bodice.

Cleaning: Following pre-treatment, we determine the best cleaning method for your gown. Fabric content and trim typically determine the safest and most effective cleaning method. Following cleaning, we inspect your gown for any remaining stains and make another attempt to remove them.

Pressing: After cleaning, your gown is hung to be pressed and steamed. Our presser pays close attention to detail and takes care to steam the wrinkles from each individual layer.

Inspection and Packaging: Your gown is thoroughly inspected one last time prior to packaging. We will hang it in a garment bag or if you have chosen our MuseumCare™ Preservation system, it will be packaged in one of our museum quality acid-free boxes.

The MuseumCare™ Preservation is the best way to keep your wedding gown in pristine condition for years to come by preventing yellowing and deterioration of the fabric. Your wedding gown is one of the few tangible pieces you get to keep forever.

Your gown is packaged in acid-free tissue and placed in an acid-free, archival quality chest with a viewing pane. The chest is not sealed as the fabric needs to breathe. We provide you with white cotton gloves to wear when handling your gown.

Crouse’s Cleaners is an exclusive member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists. Our membership with this organization includes an International Guarantee on your gown preservation in over 500 cities around the world.

Wearing an heirloom gown is becoming more desired among brides. At Crouse’s Cleaners, we are honoured to be trusted with these gowns.

If wearing an heirloom gown is something you are considering be sure to consult with Crouse’s Cleaners as far in advance as possible to determine if the gown can be cleaned and restored. This will depend on the condition of the gown after years of storage, the fabric content and any trims like buttons or appliques.
