Beverly Crest

Special fluids and solvents are used in a dry cleaning machine to remove soil and stains from fabric. It is called “dry cleaning” because the fluid contains little or no water and does not penetrate the fibers in the way water does. Advantages include the ability to dissolve greases and oils in a way that soap and water cannot. Natural fibers, such as wool, dry clean beautifully, but when washed in water, can shrink and distort. Silks are generally more color and finish stable when dry cleaned, although one must be very knowledgeable to properly spot clean these garments. Synthetic fibers such as polyester also respond well to dry cleaning, as oily spots will come out easily. Proper dry cleaning helps to return your garments to a 'like-new' condition. Professional dry cleaning involves many different operations, all performed by skilled people, and designed to give your garments a fresh, clean appearance. Our staff are highly trained in their area of expertise to properly identify, clean and/or finish all garments, and to exercise a number of special procedures when handling your items.

Also known as fluff and fold, it's laundry, like t-shirts, jeans, towels, sheets, etc. that's just washed, dried and folded. It's the laundry you can do at home, but if you're too busy or have better things to do with your time, we'll do it for you ! The whites and colors are separated before washing. We use special unscented soap, so if you have sensitive skin, it shouldn't bother you. We know how to wash and dry your laundry so whites and colors are just the way it should be... clean and fresh. Each item is then nicely folded and packaged in blue paper.

We have a expert tailor on the premises Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm. He does alterations and mends just about anything, from hemming your pants or replacing a pocket, to lining your jacket.

The​ cleaning and finishing itself is not done the same as fabric cleaning. Being animal skins, they react to cleaning methods differently and require different solvents and equipment in the cleaning process as well as special handling techniques in the finishing process.
