One of the dry cleaner’s worst enemies is the “invisible stain” like
spray from grapefruit, hair spray, white wine or perfume.
These stains surface after dry cleaning and become very visible
after processing. It is actually the heat associated with the dry
cleaning cycle or pressing that makes the stains visible.
Dry cleaning itself will not remove these and depending on the
material, some can be removed by a technician. Some may never
be removed. If you know of any such invisible stains, please point
them out so that we may pre-treat the stain before dry cleaning.

White wine spilled on the jacket of my best suit. It doesn’t show
because I immediately mopped it up. Should I worry about a spot?

Yes. You should note any spills on fabrics before the garment is cleaned
professionally. For example, if not pre-treated, sugar residue from the
wine will darken (caramelise) when heat is applied at pressing. The more
information you can provide, the better your suit will look after
cleaning and pressing.

I have a stain on my favorite skirt. It was cleaned but the stain
didn’t come out.

When your skirt was returned a message from drygreen was attached to it.
This told you that despite our best efforts we could not remove the stain
without risk of damage to the fabric of the garment.
You may bring the skirt back and ask us to redo the spot treatment.
If you know the cause of the stain (wine, ink, etc.) that information
will be helpful in the spotting process. Once a stain has been “set”
with heat, we cannot guarantee complete removal and may ask you
to sign a customer-consent form. In this case, calling attention to the
stained area before cleaning probably would have prevented the
discolouration.

drygreen uses only ecofriendly detergents and spotting agents in the
treatment of stains on your garments.
