Professional Wedding Gown Preservation
Preserving a wedding dress for future generations is something Salem Cleaners helps customers with all the time. Our Prestige Preservation service comes with a lifetime guarantee!
Natural yellowing over time is caused by oxygen and humidity. At Salem Cleaners, we use best practices to clean and press your wedding gown. Once cleaning is complete, your gown is packaged in a nitrogen filled preservation box with built in window display so you can take a peek whenever you’re feeling sentimental without causing any damage! This process has been tested to ensure your wedding gown maintains its color, shape and fabric. Don’t forget your veil, accessories, and shoes—these should be preserved alongside your wedding gown, too!

Importance of Cleaning & Preserving your Wedding Gown
Your wedding day is filled with fun and excitement, but oftentimes the cost is an unsightly stain or rip in your dress.

It is also highly recommended to clean your wedding dress soon after your big day to avoid further settling of stains in the fabric.
At Salem Cleaners, all wedding gowns are cared for with highest standards of quality. One of our experts will decide the best options to clean your wedding gown based on your unique fabrics and embellishments.

Trust in our alterations and restoration experts to bring your wedding gown back it to its former glory!
Wedding Gown Cleaning & Storage Tips
While we have successfully restored gowns that are over ten years old, we recommend that you have your wedding gown professionally cleaned soon after the wedding; immediately if there is significant staining and/or damage.
- Choose a professional who has multiple certifications and affiliations.
- Store your wedding dress in a breathable garment bag or preservation box.
- Keep your wedding gown in a cool, dark and dry environment that is safe from drastic temperature changes.
- Ideally your dress should be stored flat, but if this isn’t feasible, hang the dress from a sturdy, padded hanger, by the interior loops – not the shoulder straps.
- Inspect your gown periodically to ensure it stays in good condition.
