Why Wedding Dress Preservation Always Begins with Cleaning
Your dress may look fine on the outside, but hidden inside those layers of satin, lace, and tulle are sugar from cake frosting, perspiration salts, even invisible champagne splashes that can yellow, stiffen, or weaken the fabric if they’re sealed away. Cleaning ensures your dress is stable, safe, and protected before it’s tucked into a preservation box for decades.
At Marberry Cleaners and Launderers, we always start our preservation process with a deep clean, because we’re in the business of saving details, not skipping steps.

What Cleaning Does Before Preservation
- Removes invisible stains: Prevents sugar or oil marks from yellowing or attracting pests over time.
- Protects delicate fabrics: Stabilizes silk, lace, and beading before long-term storage.
- Stops aging in its tracks: Cleaning resets the condition of your dress before it’s sealed for preservation.
- Ensures accuracy: Gives us a clear canvas to examine the dress fully before preservation begins.
Inside Our Professional Wedding Dress Cleaning Process
- Detailed Inspection — We examine the dress from top to train for fabric types, stains, embellishments, and wear.
- Stain Targeting — We hand treat visible and invisible stains (wine, dirt, oils, makeup, etc.) with fabric-safe solutions.
- Gentle Immersion Cleaning — Based on the fabric of your dress, we use a wet-cleaning or dry-cleaning method that’s safe and effective.
- Rinse and Review — After cleaning, we rinse the dress thoroughly and inspect again for any missed areas.
- Steam Pressing or Hand Pressing — We carefully press the dress to restore its original shape without harming embellishments or layers.

It’s preservation worthy of your memories.
