Getting Ready for Your Collection: A Simple Guide
Booking a dry cleaning collection with Brentford Laundry and Drycleaners is quick and convenient — but a little preparation goes a long way. Follow these simple steps before your driver arrives to ensure your garments are cleaned to the highest standard and returned to you in perfect condition.
1. Check Your Garment Care Labels
Before handing over any item, take a moment to check the care label. Labels indicate whether a garment is dry clean only, hand wash, or machine washable. If you're unsure, our team is happy to advise — but flagging any concerns upfront helps us treat your items with the right process from the start.
2. Point Out Stains and Problem Areas
Stains are best treated when they're fresh, but even older marks can often be removed with the right technique. When your collection is picked up, let our driver know about any specific stains — wine, oil, ink, or makeup — and where they are on the garment. The more detail you provide, the better the result.
3. Empty All Pockets
This one is easy to overlook. Tissues, receipts, coins, and pens left in pockets can cause damage during the cleaning process. Always empty every pocket before your garments are collected.
4. Separate Delicate Items
If you have particularly delicate pieces — silk blouses, beaded evening wear, or vintage garments — keep these separate and mention them specifically. These items may require specialist handling and it's important we know in advance.
5. Use a Bag or Garment Cover
Place your items in a clean bag or use garment covers where possible. This protects your clothing during transit and keeps everything organised for our team.
6. Note Any Special Instructions
Do you prefer a particular fold for your shirts? Need a dress returned on a hanger? Let us know at the time of collection. We're here to make the experience as seamless as possible.
