What Is 
Dry Cleaning?

Dry cleaning is a professional garment care process that removes stains and dirt from fabrics using a liquid solution instead of water. It's ideal for delicate materials like wool, silk, and suits that can be damaged by traditional washing. At Lapels, we exclusively use the GreenEarth® Cleaning system—a gentle, non-toxic silicone-based solution that's safer for your clothes, your skin, and the environment. Unlike conventional dry cleaning, there are no harsh chemicals or strong odors, just soft, clean garments returned looking their best.

Our Dry Cleaning Process

At Lapels, we make dry cleaning simple, efficient, and reliable. Every item you bring in goes through a careful, three-step process designed to protect your garments and deliver exceptional results.

1. Inspection & Tagging

Each garment is carefully inspected for stains, fabric type, and care requirements. We tag each item to ensure it's tracked, cleaned, and returned with care and accuracy.

2. Cleaning Process

During dry cleaning, clothes are placed in a special machine that uses a gentle cleaning solution instead of water. The solution circulates through the fabrics to lift away dirt and stains, while protecting delicate fibers from shrinking, stretching, or fading.

3. Finishing & Packaging

After cleaning, garments are steamed or pressed to restore their shape and appearance. Final quality checks are completed before items are carefully packaged and ready for pickup or delivery.

My husband and I bring our suits and dresses to get dry cleaned! I’ve met the owner and she’s so nice. Our clothes come neatly hanged in the bags. I recommend getting your clothes dry cleaned here!

So very pleasantly suprised by how wonderful a job Lapels did on my 2 leather jackets. One of the few businesses that offers leather cleaning and they did an exquisite job.
