Restoration – It’s More Than Just Cleaning
 
Vintage, antique and heirloom items have very special needs and cleaning protocols that must be followed if the garment or decorative piece is to be processed safely.
 


These items were most often made from protein fibers (wool, silk, cotton), all of which naturally decompose with time and exposure to the elements.  This natural aging process makes them vulnerable to a wide range of cleaning agents, processes and standard techniques.
 


Unschooled cleaners erroneously consider these precious items just an old garment or dress that can withstand routine treatment and cleaning.  We not only understand the precious memories it holds for you, we understand the special techniques that must be employed to clean and restore them safely.
