Champion Cleaners educates customers on the stain removal process

Birmingham, AL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/29/2015 -- The dry cleaning professionals at Champion Cleaners in Birmingham are educating customers about the stain removal process used by professional dry cleaners to help them learn more about what happens to their garments and textiles during the cleaning process. The pre-spotting process used by dry cleaners is typically far more effective than at-home spotting techniques at removing severe or set-in stains, especially on delicate fabrics.

The three essential tools used in the pre-spotting process at a professional dry cleaning service involve a spotting board, a spotting bone, and a tamping brush. The first step in the pre-spotting process is to attach the garment to the spotting board and keep it in place with a pedal-controlled vacuum. Second, the professional dry cleaner will apply steam to the tarnished area, followed by a stain remover agent that is worked into the fabric with a spotting bone or tamping brushed, used to work the stain out of the garment fibers. The type of spotting agent used is dependent on the type of fabric as well as the type of stain, whether it is food-based, water-based, or oil-based. Cleaners generally start with a mild spotting agent and work up to more aggressive treatments if stains are resistant to becoming clean. After the stain has been entirely removed or lessened as much as possible, hot air is then applied to the area to dry it.

After the spot has been treated, the entire garment is ready to be professionally dry cleaned as a whole. Contrary to the name, dry cleaning actually does involve immersing a garment in a grease-dissolving solvent, however, because water is not involved in this process, the term "dry" cleaning is still used. The garments are placed in a computerized machine that controls the exact amount of solvent and detergent to make the cleaning process most effective. This same dry cleaning machine also tumbles and dries the clothing before they are removed.

Champion Cleaners offers dry cleaning and wet cleaning—traditional laundry service—for garments as well as other textiles such as wedding gowns, home decor, rugs, uniforms, leather and suede boots, and more. With their years of experience, the professionals at Champion Cleaners have advanced knowledge about fabrics, stains, and cleaners and are able to choose a custom cleaning process that will result in the best outcome possible for customers.

Birmingham, AL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/04/2014 -- Champion Cleaners Dry Cleaning company of Alabama offers complete wedding gown care services including specialized wedding gown cleaning, restoration, preservation and alterations. Champion's wedding gown care services are informed by their decades of dry cleaning and clothing care experience, leaving no detail unattended as their professional team perfects, preserves and protects the bride's beloved heirloom for generations to come.

This personalized, consultative service includes a microscopic analysis of the gown, including staining on the hem line, faint makeup stain residue, perspiration stains, loose threads or fatigued lining and faulty zippers that can happen after a preliminary or day-of photo shoot, fitting and trying on the dress repeatedly, or constant handling by tailors and family in the days before the wedding. The ongoing care ensures that pre-wedding photos, alterations, and preparations made while wearing the dress don't result in wear and tear on the big day. With all the last minute preparations and excitement, let Champion provide the timeliness and quality required when cleaning and pressing the wedding gown.

As a result of extra handling and fittings, the hem line can pick up stains, the bodice may pick up makeup residue and the dress lining may pick up sweat. That's why the Champion wedding gown care process begins early and is ongoing until the preservation is complete. This eliminates problems like grass or dirt staining from photo shoots, dirt and oil from handling the gown and unseen stains or dirt from the bridal salon.

About Champion Cleaners Dry Cleaning
Finally, proper preservation allows the bride to store the gown for years without worry of plastic bag chemicals harming the fabric or mildew or mold from cheap containers ruining the gown. Protection from light damage is often ignored as it doesn't seem apparent till months or years have passed and the effects are irreversible. Whether the bride wishes to keep her dress as an heirloom piece to share with family later, or she decides to sell the gown and recover some of the cost, every gown requires proper cleaning and preservation after the nuptials. When the bride is ready, Champion Wedding Gown Specialists carefully cushion the folds in layers of acid-free tissue and place it into an acid-free, archival-quality wedding gown chest, completing the specialized wedding gown preservation.
