Your wedding dress is very precious in many ways, not only is it the most expensive dress you will probably ever own, it will hold some of your most treasured memories. In order to preserve your wedding dress it is essential that you have it cleaned and stored in the correct manner to prevent fading, damage and ageing. If you take your dress to a non-specialist cleaner many disastrous things could happen like beads could melt with the wrong solvent, glue for sticking diamantes can dissolve and paint could run or fade.
