2. Why Bridal Gown Care Matters
Gowns of any kind need special treatment. The delicacy of a wedding gown’s fabrics, beading and lace can be preserved to last a lifetime, if done properly. There are many risks to doing it yourself or taking your gown to a regular dry cleaner. That’s why choosing Owl Cleaners’ in wedding attire care is your best bet at preserving the memories that a wedding gown holds.
3. Our Bridal Care Technique
- Handcleaning. We clean every gown individually — never in combination with any other bridal dresses or family gowns. We take every precaution to protect delicate beads, embroidery, and lace during the cleaning process.
- Anti-sugar Stain Treatment. Spills containing sugar, salt, and acid often dry clear and can turn an ugly brown over time. Our unique anti-sugar stain treatment, featured in Modern Bride and Bride’s, ensures that all sugar, salt, and acid — seen or unseen — is removed.
- Personal Inspection. We invite you to inspect your bridal or other family gown before gown preservation is completed.
- Environmentally-Pure, Lasting Protection. Your family or bridal gown is layered with acid-free tissue and carefully folded into an acid-free, museum quality, archival wedding chest.
- International Guarantee. Return your gown when it is to be worn again to any participating Certified Wedding Gown Specialist™ who will inspect and press the gown at no charge.

5. FAQs About Wedding Dress Cleaning
- How soon should I bring my dress in after the wedding?
Ideally, you should bring your wedding dress to Owl Cleaners within a few days after your celebration. The sooner we can treat stains from champagne, makeup, dirt, or food, the better the results. Even if stains aren’t visible right away, they can set into delicate fabrics over time and cause yellowing. Quick professional cleaning ensures your gown stays as flawless as the day you wore it.
- Do you handle delicate fabrics like silk or lace?
Yes, our bridal care specialists are trained to clean and preserve the most delicate and luxury fabrics, including silk, lace, satin, organza, chiffon, and gowns with intricate beading or embroidery.
- Can you preserve veils and accessories too?
In addition to bridal gowns, Owl Cleaners also offers cleaning and preservation for veils, gloves, sashes, and other accessories. We use the same archival-quality preservation techniques to protect these delicate pieces from yellowing and damage, so you can safely store them alongside your gown for generations to come.
At Owl Cleaners, we are honored to service brides across the greater Pittsburgh area.
