Local Longview Formalwear Cleaning

Premium Formalwear Cleaning Service | Evening Gowns, Suits, Tuxedos, and More

We provide the professional care you demand for your expensive, delicate, and rare formalwear clothes!

When you attend galas, business events, or special occasions, you’re expected to wear something that matches the elegance of the moment. Most probably, you opt for a black tuxedo or a cocktail dress—pieces that are classic, sophisticated, and always the right choice to make a good impression. But after the night ends, what then?

Send those stylish pieces to us at McLendon Cleaners for a professional cleaning that will refresh and protect their delicate fabrics. Our expert dry cleaning process removes stains, eliminates odors, and refreshes your gowns and tuxedos without causing shrinkage, fading, or damage to intricate details like beading, lace, or satin finishes.

Call our customer service today at 903-757-7282 or bring them to one of our convenient locations!

We Offer Inhouse Wedding Dress Cleaning and Preservation

Formalwear isn’t like everyday clothing—it’s made from delicate fabrics, intricate embellishments, and custom tailoring that require expert handling.

Washing at home or using improper cleaning methods can lead to:

❌ Fading and fabric deterioration
❌ Shrinkage or stretching
❌ Damage to beading, lace, or delicate details
❌ Permanent stains from improper stain treatments

Our professional cleaning process is designed to safely and effectively clean your gowns and tuxedos, preserving their fit, color, and texture while eliminating stains and odors.

What McLendon Cleaners Can Do for Your Formalwear

The quality of the care you give your formal attire hugely impacts their longevity. Without proper care, delicate fabrics can weaken, stains can set in, and those once-crisp tuxedo lapels can lose their sharp edge. At McLendon Cleaners, our Formalwear Cleaning Service includes:

Safe Cleaning for Delicate Fabrics and Embellishments

Many formal garments are made of silk, velvet, tulle, chiffon, or satin—all fabrics that can shrink, fade, or lose their texture with improper cleaning. Our dry cleaning process is designed to gently lift dirt and stains without damaging delicate materials.

Advanced Stain Removal

Wine spills, makeup smudges, or accidental stains can be disastrous on formalwear. Instead of scrubbing and risking damage, trust our advanced stain removal techniques. We use specialized solvents and fabric-safe treatments that break down stains without compromising the color, texture, or structure of your garment.

Odor Elimination for a Fresh, Like-new Feel

Sweat, perfume, and musty odors can cling to fabric fibers over time. Our professional dry cleaning process removes trapped odors at the source, leaving your formalwear fresh and free from lingering scents—without masking them with overpowering fragrances.

Expert Pressing and Finishing for a Flawless Look

A crisp tuxedo or a perfectly draped gown makes all the difference in your presentation. Our expert pressing and finishing ensures your attire is free from wrinkles, creases, and fabric distortions.

Protection Against Fabric Aging and Wear

Regular dry cleaning also helps prolong the life of your garments. By removing dirt, body oils, and environmental pollutants, we prevent fabric breakdown, fading, and discoloration.

Our Expert Approach to Cleaning Intricate Formalwear Designs

Step 1: Pre-inspection

Before cleaning, we thoroughly inspect each garment to identify fabric types, embellishments, and stains.

Step 2: Testing for Colorfastness and Durability

We test small, hidden areas to ensure colors won’t bleed and fabrics can withstand the cleaning process.

Step 3: Customized Cleaning Plan

Each piece receives a tailored cleaning plan based on its fabric, design, and care label instructions.

Step 4: Specialized Cleaning Techniques

We use advanced methods like eco-friendly dry cleaning, spot treatment, or gentle hand washing for fragile fabrics.

Step 5: Gentle Drying Process

Delicate garments are air-dried or lightly tumbled at low temperatures to prevent shrinkage or fabric distortion.

Step 6: Detailed Pressing and Finishing

Our team expertly presses each piece to restore its polished look, paying attention to intricate details.

Step 7: Final Quality Inspection

Every garment undergoes a final inspection to ensure it’s spotless, wrinkle free, and ready to wear.

15:59 18 Dec 24

Honestly, I don’t know why I hadn’t left a review sooner.This place is simply amazing.Yeah it’s a cleaners, but it’s more than that. Every time I enter this place the personnel is always welcoming and smiling. They do first class service, and the prices are very reasonable. I just found out they do comforters, which is another plus because these can damage your washer. I don’t like going to laundry mats especially because of the people running in out of some of them, that aren’t even doing laundry. Don’t get me started on laundry mat sanitation….. 🫢This the best cleaners I’ve ever been to, even better than the ones in DFW area. ✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

My name is Monica White and I am so satisfied with McLendon Cleaners. They are super conveniently located for me to drop off and pick up around my work schedule. They send a text when things are ready and they give you a gift if you are new! I thought that was really nice. Everyone was helpful and I didn’t have to even get out of my car. It was a wonderful first experience and I will absolutely go back there again.

Prompt, friendly, professional, and they always do a great job. I love the text message notifications when my order is ready (which is almost always ahead of the promised time!) and the employees are always so helpful. My professional wardrobe is an investment and I trust the folks at McLendon to take great care of my investment! Won’t use any other dry cleaning service.
