Cleaning

Preservation

Spray tans are very difficult to remove. For this reason, it is recommended to ensure your spay tan is dry or taking a shower before wearing a wedding gown. The longer the stain sits on the dress, the harder it will be to remove successfully.

You will want to bring your dress in as soon as possible for a special cleaning process. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee you will be able to fully remove a spray tan from a wedding dress (by dry cleaners or home remedies), especially if the stain has remained on the material for a long period of time. However, our wedding dress experts understand that each dress is made of unique and delicate materials. We will provide high-quality and individualized service to ensure your dress is protected in the cleaning process.

Yes. Like wedding dresses, wedding veils and belts are made up of special materials that are treated with care. You can have your veil or belt cleaned and/or preserved.

Our complete MuseumCare™ preservation service includes expert cleaning, professional pressing or steaming, and meticulous white-glove handling. The cleaned gown is placed in an acid-free, archival-quality preservation chest, backed by an international lifetime guarantee against yellowing and creases.

We use a high-quality, acid-free (not just pH neutral) archival chest specifically designed to protect textile heirlooms long-term. This special chest is key to our lifetime guarantee, ensuring your gown remains in pristine condition.

Our preservation package includes the cleaning and steaming of one standard wedding veil at no additional charge. We will carefully inspect and preserve any detachable accessories, such as sleeves, alongside your gown.

Typically, the process takes three months to allow for our multi-step cleaning and preservation standards. We provide an estimated completion date at drop-off, but we can often accelerate this timeline for emergencies. These expedited slots are limited and handled on a case-by-case basis—just let us know what you need!

Yes, we offer a lifetime guarantee against any yellowing or permanent creasing of the gown within the archival preservation chest. This guarantee is backed by the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists.
