Wedding Dress Cleaning & Preservation

Want to preserve every detail of your beautiful wedding gown? Send it to us at McLendon Cleaners!

It takes weeks, and even months, to find a wedding dress that looks perfect from all angles – from its intricate lace details to its flawless silhouette. But after the celebration, it's easy to overlook how delicate those fabrics are. The beading, embroidery, and fine materials that make the dress so beautiful also make it vulnerable to stains, dirt, and damage.

Without professional care, your gown risks yellowing, fading, and even fabric deterioration. In the long run, the cost of repairing a damaged dress, or worse, losing it entirely, far outweighs the investment in expert preservation.

Don’t let the beauty of your gown fade with time. Trust McLendon Cleaners to carefully clean, preserve, and protect every detail of your wedding dress. For the best service and assistance, call us at 903-757-7282.

Why Entrust Your Wedding Gowns to McLendon Cleaners

At McLendon Cleaners, we’ve been perfecting our wedding dress cleaning and preservation process for decades, and we’re proud to offer the best service around. Here’s why many brides choose us to take care of their wedding gowns:

We Have Over 75 Years of Experience

With a legacy that dates back to 1945, we’ve been around long enough to know exactly how to treat every kind of fabric, embellishment, and intricate detail. Our team understands the sentimental value of wedding dresses, and we handle each one with the care it deserves.

We Offer Inhouse Services

You’ll never have to worry about your dress being shipped off to some distant facility. We handle everything in house, which means you receive more personalized service and a faster turnaround. You can also stop by any time to check on your gown during the process.

We Use Gentle, Eco-friendly Cleaning Methods

Your wedding dress is delicate, and we treat it with the utmost respect by using eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are tough on stains but gentle on the fabric. Our advanced cleaning techniques ensure your gown is perfectly clean without causing any damage.

You Get a Custom Preservation Plan

Every wedding dress is unique, so we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess your gown and create a personalized preservation plan that takes into account its fabric, any special details, and the level of cleaning needed.

We Care About Long-term Protection

It’s not just about cleaning your dress; it’s about making sure it’s protected for years to come. Our preservation techniques involve using acid-free, pH-neutral packaging materials that protects your gown from yellowing, moisture, and dust for decades.

Why You Need To Preserve Your Wedding Dress

Not preserving your wedding dress could lead to irreversible damage over time, and it’s something you might not realize until it’s too late. Here’s why skipping wedding dress preservation is a mistake:

Stains Don’t Just Go Away

Wedding dresses are often exposed to makeup, sweat, food, and drinks throughout the day. If those stains aren’t properly cleaned and preserved, they can become permanent. Over time, the fabric can absorb oils and dirt, which will be almost impossible to remove later on.

Fabrics Will Yellow Without Protection

Many fabrics, especially those used in wedding gowns like satin and lace, tend to yellow over time but preserving your gown will minimize this risk. Without the proper care, your dress could lose its original beauty, and that stunning white gown will fade to a dull, yellowed fabric that’s hard to reverse.

Unprotected Dresses Can Become Damaged by Time

Storing your wedding dress in an ordinary bag or box won’t protect it from the elements. Air, moisture, and even light can cause the fabric to weaken, leading to tears, fading, and mildew. A wedding dress that’s not preserved can easily suffer long-term damage that can’t be repaired.

Delicate Embellishments May Fall Apart

Your dress likely has intricate details such as beads, lace, or embroidery that won’t hold up without preservation. These embellishments can lose their shine, fall off, or deteriorate if they aren’t properly stored. Without professional preservation, those delicate touches that make your gown unique can be lost.

You Could Lose a Precious Heirloom

Many brides hope to pass down their wedding dress to future generations, but without preservation, your gown might not survive long enough. Not preserving your dress means risking the opportunity to share it with a daughter or granddaughter in the future. Without the proper protection, you could lose this family heirloom forever.

We Also Preserve Wedding Dress Accessories

At McLendon Cleaners, we offer wedding dress accessory preservation to protect every part of your bridal ensemble, ensuring your dress and accessories stay beautiful for years to come, including:

Veils
Headpieces
Belts and Sashes
Gloves
Jewelry
Shoes

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.
