Royal Cleaners

Special fluids & solvents are used in a dry cleaning machine to remove soil & stains from fabric. It is called “dry cleaning” because the fluid contains little or no water & does not penetrate the fibers in the way water does. Advantages include the ability to dissolve greases & oils in a way that soap & water cannot. Natural fibers, such as wool, dry clean beautifully, but when washed in water, can shrink & distort. Silks are generally more color & 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, & designed to give your garments a fresh, clean appearance. Our staff is highly trained in their area of expertise to properly identify, clean and/or finish all garments, & to exercise a number of special procedures when handling your items

Items‎ such as men's dress shirts, fine bed & table linen, etc. are pre-treated & washed w/ additives, soap & water before being pressed . These items are pressed wet w/ laundry pressing equipment using high pressure & high heat to produce the fine, crisp finish. The finished laundry garments can be washed w/ your choice of light, medium or heavy starch or no starch at all. Shirts are hung on a hanger or put in a box, whichever you prefer. Linens are professionally folded over a special hanger, or can be wrapped, if you like

We have expert tailoring, that can be measured anytime you come in, & then our tailor can do her magic. She does alterations & mends just about anything... from hemming your pants or replacing a pocket, to lining your jacket.

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