At Oceanside Cleaners, designer garment cleaning isn’t just our specialty — it’s our passion. We ensure each item receives individual attention and care as we determine the cleaning products and techniques that will best maintain or restore the color, fit and feel of every garment.
“Proof of our success is the number of customers trusting us with their designer garments,” says Mike Harris, owner. “Some months we get upwards of 800 designer garments. And we see very high-end items, from designers like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Versace and Prada.”
Meticulous Treatment Goes into Designer Garment Cleaning
Because couture items require exceptional care, we provide our designer clothing specialists with hours of detailed training. Each item follows this process:
- Inspection. We take photos of the garment and its details so we know exactly how the item looked when it was taken into our care. We often discuss the product with the customer before cleaning begins.
- High-quality, onsite cleaning. We choose gentle yet effective products and techniques, taking into consideration the fabric, texture, shape and color. We also take great care to protect hardware like buttons and buckles as well as embellishments like sequins, beads, rhinestones and feathers. Some items require pre-spotting, hand cleaning or odor remediation.
- Finishing and packaging. A dedicated, specially trained presser finishes all designer garments. The item receives a final inspection by our designer specialist and is placed in an acid-free garment bag for protection and transport.
- Delivery. Oceanside provides complimentary pick up and delivery for every designer garment we clean.

Oceanside’s expertise in designer garment cleaning receives higher ratings than other cleaners across the U.S., earning us recognition in the March 2024 issue of American Drycleaner.
While this “concierge” approach means designer garment cleaning requires more dry cleaning effort than traditional cleaning, customers who have invested in upscale fashion recognize the value of ensuring items last a long time and look like new, every time they are worn.
