Dry Cleaning
Best for structured garments, suits, coats, lined items and solvent-suitable fabrics. Watch trims, adhesives, colour movement and old stains.
Laundry
Best for washable garments, shirts, linen, doonas and blankets. Watch heat, shrinkage, dye bleed, drying and finishing quality.
Shoe Cleaning
Best handled by material type: leather, suede, canvas, mesh and rubber all need different methods and different warnings.
