The memories with this dress are very special so we women want to treasure the wedding dress without utmost care. It is our responsibility to preserve those wedding dresses safely. Here are a few tips that will help everyone to preserve their wedding dresses safely.
Cleaning Properly:
To get rid of stains on your wedding dress you need to get those cleaned from a professional dry cleaner. Try to clean them within a week or two of your wedding date. If you fail to clean them early then stains on the dress can set permanently. Choose best cleaning procedure for your wedding dress based on the fabric of the dress or you can find a laundry that takes care of cleaning wedding dresses only.
`Folding Etiquette:
Fold the wedding dress loosely so that it does not crease. Try to use acid free tissue papers in between folds.
Wedding Keepsake Box for Long Term Storage:
As we all know that plastic contains chemicals so do not keep your wedding dress in a plastic bag or chest for a long period of time. Storing dresses in a plastic bag can stain your dress and cause permanent wrinkles. So use wedding keepsake box or any other wooden chest to store the dresses. Wooden chest with cedar base would be the best choice for storing such dresses.
Avoid Light & Heat:
Light and heat are not good for any quality dresses. So keep your wedding dresses away from direct light and heat. It is always recommended to keep the storage box away from light and heat also because it can cause yellow stain on your wedding dresses over a period of time.
Never Hang Your Dress:
Do not hang your wedding dress on an ordinary wooden hanger. The wooden hanger would not be able to take the load of your dresses which in turn disturb the delicate weaving of the fine fabric.
Use Acid Free Tissue Paper:
Fold your wedding dress and put acid free tissue paper between the fold to avoid wrinkles on the dress. Do not forget to check the dress periodically and change the tissue paper.
So if you want to keep your wedding dresses free from stain, mold and mildew then you can take the useful suggestions mentioned above. Hope these suggestions will help you to preserve your precious wedding dresses.
