Aaah, fall. Dropping temperatures remind us it’s a great time to pull cozier clothing items out of storage—including those holiday ‘fits!—and make sure they are ready for prime time!
Oceanside loves helping customers spruce up for the holidays with their favorite winter wear and holiday decor. But every year we talk to customers who have pulled a favorite item out the night before a special occasion only to discover undetected stains from last year’s festivities, or an unpleasant odor. That can add unnecessary stress and put a damper on your festivities.
Instead, why not take a few minutes to inspect and bring in items now, when our specialists have time to work their magic?
Tackle Fall and Holiday Dry Cleaning with Oceanside’s Handy Checklist
To make it easy, we’ve assembled a checklist that will help you inventory and collect items for dry cleaning:
Fall/Winter Wardrobe
The same fibers that keep us warm can be sensitive to standard washing. Consider having more delicate items dry cleaned to prevent water damage or shrinkage while removing oil and dirt.
What to gather:
-
- Fall/winter sweaters, dress shirts or blouses containing wool, wool blends or silk
- Anything with lined interiors
- Outerwear made of wool or insulated with down
Thanksgiving
The same indulgences and decor that make Thanksgiving special can leave table linens and holiday outfits with lingering stains. Table linens with carry-over stains or in need of fresh pressing. Check these items now and then let our Oceanside pros work wonders, returning your items clean, pressed, hung and ready to impress.
What to gather:
-
- Holiday sweaters (wool, cashmere or angora)
- Anything velvet or silk, to preserve shape and luster
- Table linens with carry-over stains or those needing a nice pressing
End of the Season Holidays and New Year
If you have a special item you love wearing or displaying during the holidays, let Oceanside care for it. Our carefully chosen dry cleaning solutions and techniques maintain the beauty of delicate fabrics and preserve decorative elements like lace, brocade, embroidery, sequins or metallic threads. We also have tricks to remove tree sap and glitter from past years, without damaging the item.
What to gather:
-
- Handmade, vintage or velvet chimney stockings, tree skirts and table runners
- Decorative pillows, covers and throws or blankets
- Holiday tablecloths and napkins
