Bed Linens
It’s always a lovely feeling to get into bed and luxuriate in the feeling of freshly laundered bed linen. It's all about being crisp, fresh and perfectly clean. Our laundry service offers you this luxury!
All items are individually inspected and then washed with the mildest detergents before being finished to our fine standards. Laundry is then folded or hung and packed ready for next time you change your bed. This service saves you both time and guarantees you the highest standard of laundry service available.
Curtains
The cleaning of curtains is a large part of our business. We can come to your home or office and take down your curtains, clean them and re–hang them for you. At the same time, we can cater for your nets, blinds, pelmets, swags and tails and tie backs.
The dry cleaning of curtains is the most effective way to clean your curtains of accumulated dust, dirt and allergens. We recommend dry cleaning your curtains at least every 18 months–2 years in order to extend the life of your curtains. Failure to regularly dry clean your curtains makes the removal of dirt more difficult and over time can damage the fabric and deteriorate.
We are also happy to undertake repairs and alterations to your curtains. For example, replacing the linings, shortening the length and repairing edging.
We are happy to provide free estimates for cleaning your curtains.
Dry Cleaning
All garments dry cleaned here are pre–spotted for the removal of stubborn stains, cleaned and finally steamed and hand pressed by our experienced team of staff. All your garments are carefully covered to protect them and keep them in shape until required.
Leather and suede items are also cleaned here.
We also provide an Executive Service where your items receive special attention such as the hand ironing of linings, flaps and pockets etc. Minor repairs are also attended to.
Our clients’ garments are always finished to the highest standard.
Laundry and Domestic Ironing
We have high capacity laundry machines so that your duvets and pillows (whether feather or polyester filling) can move freely in the cleaning cycle. We also provide ironing, shirt launder and domestic laundry services, plus much more.
We can deliver your items back to you, please contact us for more details.
Leather/Suede Cleaning
The cleaning of leather and suede is a craft practiced by skilled artisans. We defer to our own specialists who carefully grade and inspect each garment prior to cleaning. Unlike cleaning normal fabrics, the cleaning of suede and leather requires extensive work post cleaning to restore the garment to its original condition. For example, smooth leathers often require re–texturing to achieve the same finish and Suede garments frequently require re-tinting to restore their original colour.
During cleaning, the oils within suede and leather garments are removed. Part of the processing involves re–oiling the skin to keep it supple. During re–oiling the skin can become a few shades darker. For this reason you should always clean garments that are part of a set together.
We can only implore you to choose a specialist leather cleaner; we have too many horror stories of what happens when customers entrust their treasured suede and leather garments to dry cleaners who are not familiar with the appropriate methods.
Rug Cleaning
It is important that you regularly have your rugs cleaned as it extends their life by removing dirt and stains which over time can dull the colours and appearance of a rug. We advise regular vacuuming of rugs to prevent permanent soiling from dirt.
We specialise in the cleaning of all types of oriental and persian rugs.
Please call us for a free estimate.

Waxing Garments
Did you know that when your wax jacket gets dirty, the soiling remains on the top layer of the jacket? During the cleaning process all of the wax on the jacket is stripped, so it needs to be replaced.
After cleaning, the wax is melted and then re–applied, paying particular attention to seams where water can permeate. We recommend having your wax jacket professionally cleaned and re–waxed at least every year.
Wedding Dresses
We provide an outstanding service in the cleaning of your wedding dress. After all, it is the most special and memorable dress you will ever wear!
Your dress will be inspected prior to cleaning to ascertain what treatment benefits your dress. We will then manually remove the stains by hand before cleaning your dress. After cleaning we will re-inspect your dress and decide if anymore treatment is necessary. Only once we are completely satisfied, your dress will be hand pressed.
Once the dress is ready, we ask you to return back to us to inspect it before we have it boxed in acid free tissue paper. Feel free to call us on 020 8882 9662 for more information on cleaning your dress and pricing information.
