  1. Careful Inspection

    Every dress begins with a close, hands-on inspection by our specialists. We look for stains, loose threads, or delicate detailing that needs extra care before cleaning begins.
  2. EcoTech System™ Cleaning

    Your dress is cleaned using our gentle, environmentally safe EcoTech System™, which removes oils, stains, and hidden residue without damaging fragile fabrics.
  3. Archival Preservation

    Once cleaned, your dress is carefully layered with acid-free tissue and placed in a museum-grade preservation chest. This protects against yellowing, fading, and fabric wear.
  4. White Glove Finishing

    We complete every preservation with white cotton gloves for you to use when opening your chest in the future. It’s an extra measure of care, true to the standards at Crest Advanced Dry Cleaners.
