How to Care for your Wool Clothes

Well, winter is just a couple of weeks away, which means it's time to start wearing all those stylish, warm winter garments. Many people who delight in their winter wardrobe find that wearing wool is one of their favorite fabrics. Not only is wool warm and comfy, but it is also very attractive and surely very fashionable as well.

Wool is certainly a popular fabric for sweaters. People of all ages, male and female love wearing wool sweaters in the cold winter months. Why you may ask? Simple - because it is durable, comfortable, a truly superb insulator and classy and sexy as well. Caring for your wool clothes, especially your sweaters is something that a lot of people take a great deal of pride in doing. Wool garments, especially wool sweaters and coats, can be quite costly, which is why it is so important to properly care for your wool clothes and extend the life of your wool garments as well.

At McPherson Cleaners we are all about our customers and pride ourselves on delivering the most superior dry cleaning services to all our clients, old and new. We specialize in all types of garments and fabrics, including wool, and are proud of our reputation in the marketplace as one of the best all round dry cleaners for all your garments including your precious wool wardrobe.

CARING FOR YOUR WOOL CLOTHES

If you have a wool sweater that gets damp, it is important to hang it to air dry at room temperature. You should not hang your wool sweater near to any heat source, however, since this will generate mildew. In addition, each time you wear your wool sweater, make it a habit to engage in gentle brushing of your wool sweaters so as to remove surface oil on the wool.

Make certain to pay close attention to the care label on the inside of your wool sweaters and garments. If the label is suggesting that you hand wash your sweater, the experts here at McPherson Cleaners want to make certain that you use cool water and a mild soap or detergent, making certain that it is bleach free.

Soak your sweater in the soap and water for approximately five minutes and then rinse the fabric thoroughly. Then you want to squeeze out any excess water that is trapped in the sweater, but make sure you do not twist or wring the wool fabric. When you are set to dry your wool sweater, lay the sweater flat, and be certain that it is not in the sunlight or extreme heat. If your sweater’s care label suggests machine washing it, make certain to machine wash it on the gentle cycle only. Using the gentle cycle will protect the wool fabric since the spins are gentler and less in number and the cycle itself less aggressive.

These are just a couple simple but practical tips for caring for your wool clothes on your own. Though it may appear easy to do, we here at McPherson Cleaners suggest, that for the best results, you bring all your wool garments and all your sweaters that bear a label reading dry clean only, to our highly trusted and professional facility. Whether you need cleaning services or need to have stains removed, we are equipped to do it all. We not only have the products and equipment, but the know-how and expertise to handle all your wool clothes and sweaters, including those that are the most delicate – your precious cashmere sweaters. Come on down today and let our technicians provide you with not only the services needed, but the peace of mind to know that your valuable, favored garments are in the hands of some of the best in the industry. We surely look forward to serving you.

Fall is Here. Time to Change Your Wardrobe!

Ok, so everybody loves summer, but sadly the summer months are behind us and fall is now upon us.  With that said, it’s time to change over your closets and switch out your wardrobe to accommodate the brisk, still comfortable, fall days and nights.  Revamping your closet from summer to fall attire is like going shopping and buying a whole new wardrobe.  Certainly you have not worn your fall clothes now in over a year, which adds to the newness of the styles and makes you feel as though you are adding a whole new lineup of outfits, accessories, and attire to your daily wardrobe.

Dry Clean and Pack Away all those Summer Outfits
Part of your closet changeover will be the necessity to stow away all your summer garb until next year.  But, wait.  Don’t pack and stow them away without properly cleaning and mending them first.  You want to be certain that you maintain your summer clothes before packing them away.  If you have any rips or tears, you certainly want to mend them and have them repaired before storing.  In addition, we here at McPherson Cleaners strongly suggest you dry clean your summer clothes before packing them away in bags or boxes not to be seen again until next summer. 

There is nothing quite as disheartening than opening up a bag or box of stored clothing only to find that they are not suitable to wear because they were not properly maintained before stowing them away last season.  It is so refreshing when the next season is upon us, to simply open up that bag or box, choose the outfit that satisfies the moment and feel comfortable and confident enough to just put it on and out the door you go.  If you do not, however, take appropriate care of your wardrobe before storing it away, then surely you will find it necessary to take time at the start of the new season to mend, repair, and clean your clothing before you can even think about wearing them.

State of the Art Services Guaranteed to Satisfy Every Customer
Here at McPherson Cleaners all our specialists are committed and dedicated to providing top of the line services to all our valued clients.  Services that, year after year, include maintenance of seasonal clothing before they get packed away.  We fully recognize that many of those delicate, sassy and hard to replace summer outfits are precious to you which is why we recommend you dry clean your summer attire before stowing it away.  Our team of highly skilled and experienced dry cleaning specialists take every precaution to make certain that your summer wardrobe is cleaned, mended, repaired and ready to be stowed, only to be worn fresh out of the bag or box next summer.

We give specialized care to all your garment needs with only state of the art equipment and products,  and are confident that you will not only appreciate our superior services, but will certainly appreciate the fact that when your next summer months are upon you, you can just choose a favorite outfit and head out for your summer fun.

Whether you need dry cleaning, mending, or repair services for your summer attire, our specialists are ready, willing and able to serve.  We offer leading edge services at prices that are every bit affordable as they are reasonable.  Having earned a spot at the top of the charts here in the Nashville area as one of the best all round dry cleaning services, we strive to maintain that very presence and deliver services that will not be beat.  Our top notch team is steadfast in our efforts to maintain our market position and remain the number one choice by all our valued clients. 


If you are ready to switch out your wardrobe and stow away your summer garb, then reach out to our expert teams today and put all your worries into our trusted hands.  Though home laundering is an option for proper maintenance of your summer outfits, fall is here so why not spend your time enjoying a brisk afternoon walk, a playful plunge in the leaves, or a charming fall river cruise and leave your laundering to us.  Contact us today and don’t forget to take advantage of our special discounts.  We look forward to serving you with all your dry cleaning and repair needs this fall and every season thereafter.

Does Dry Cleaning Extend the Life of Your Clothes?

To many people dry cleaning is just a simple routine part of their daily lives. Often recognized as an ideal way to provide care and maintenance to your delicate clothes, dry cleaning offers you a whole lot more. People often question whether or not it is worth the time and the cost to have their clothes dry cleaned and wonder whether dry cleaning is truly beneficial to clothes and does it extend the life of your clothes over time?

So What IS Dry Cleaning?
To begin with dry cleaning is a means of cleaning articles of clothing and other items without the use of water. A very delicate and effective process, constantly being improved upon, dry cleaning is favored by most and needed by many. Though the cleaning technique and process does not use water, it does use a very gentle solvent called ‘perchloorethyleen or perc’ that dissolves oils and dirt that have been absorbed into clothing. This solvent has no damaging effects to fabrics.

Here at McPherson Cleaners our licensed and skilled specialists take great care in providing all our valued Nashville clients with top of the line, superior dry cleaning services. When you drop off your dry cleaning at our highly recognized establishment, our specialists will begin by placing your clothes into a wash chamber with a required amount of the perc solvent. As the wash chamber goes through the cycles any dirt, oils or other particles are removed from the clothing by the solvent.

This very delicate but effective technique is accountable for the extraordinary dry cleaning services that our valued clients are accustomed to receiving. Though, at times there are heavier stains on your clothing that require special attention and techniques, the majority of clothes here at the dry cleaners are processed and put through this simple wash and solvent process with extremely satisfactory results.

So Does Dry Cleaning extend the life of my Clothes?
The answer is emphatically yes. Since the dry cleaning process is far less abrasive than typical washing machines, and many different fabrics can be quite sensitive to water, heat and agitation that are part of the typical washing machine cycles, dry cleaning is a cleaning process highly favored by many people, especially business professionals, for the care and maintenance of their clothes.
Dry cleaning, since it does not use water, and has drums that tumble much more gently and slowly than regular washing machine drums, affords your clothing and garments far less wear and tear. With that said, why would anyone want to take a chance of damaging or destroying their favorite dress, evening gown, suit, tuxedo, or even those perfectly designed draperies.

Further to the reasons why dry cleaning extends the life of your clothes is the simple fact that the perc solvent that is used preserves the color and texture of all your garments and fabrics which certainly adds to their life span. Regular washing machines can harm your clothing causing shrinkage and even tears which is yet another reason my so many people favor dry cleaning over typical everyday washing and drying.

In addition the perc penetrates deep within the fabrics and dissolves and removes the dirt, oils, odors, and stains that take away from the overall appearance and value of your clothing. Therefore, the use of dry cleaning and the use of the highly effective perc solvent will add not only a fresh, but new look to all your cherished delicates, clothing and other dry cleanable items.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
If you have been undecided about the effectiveness and the value of dry cleaning your clothes, then rest assured you can feel confident that the specialists here at McPherson Cleaners will deliver leading edge, affordable dry cleaning services that will not only extend the life of your clothes, but will minimize the dip in your wallet.

TIME FOR CLEANING YOUR DRAPERIES? DON’T FRET

Draperies do not only add style, comfort and décor to your home, but they can also be quite costly, which is why it is important to know how to properly and professionally care for, clean and maintain your expensive draperies. 

At McPherson Cleaners we are all about our customers and all about our customers’ clothing, dry cleaning items, and yes, all about their draperies.  We fully understand the importance your home and your home décor have to you and your family, which is why we treat all our clients’ belongings as if they are our own.  All of our technicians are highly trained and experienced in the proper care and treatment of draperies, pillow covers, and mattress covers just to name a few. 

With our primary focus on the happiness and complete satisfaction of all our clients, we here at McPherson Cleaners are dedicated and committed to providing the most superior, top of the line cleaning services to all our Nashville clients.  Having earned us the title of your  ‘go to cleaners’ in all of Nashville for all your cleaning needs, we remain steadfast in maintaining that very presence in the marketplace and industry and to maintaining our extraordinary reputation as well.

Proper Care and Treatment of Draperies

Draperies can present with a wide range of issues, including fading, stains and even shrinkage, which is why it is important to engage the services of a highly reputable and professional dry cleaners.  Because your draperies are exposed to so many atmospheric conditions for extended periods of time they can develop problems over time that truly are unnoticeable until such time that you have them professionally dry cleaned.

The most common problems that arise when cleaning your draperies are damage caused as a result of over exposure to light, yellowing that occurs when finishes deteriorate from soils that accumulate on their surface, shrinkage, water marks, and common deterioration of the lining or the coating of your draperies during cleaning. 

Here at McPherson Cleaners we take every step and precaution necessary to contribute to the life expectancy of your valued draperies.  We are fully aware that lined draperies and fiberglass draperies have a greater life expectancy than unlined draperies and sheer draperies which is why we use our specialized services based upon the fabric type and density of your draperies, as well as their finishes and their length of use. 

Keeping your Draperies Looking Chic and Like New

At McPherson Cleaners we are truly dedicated to providing all our Nashville customers with the services they expect for not only their draperies, but all their dry cleaning needs.  We advise all our clients to have their draperies cleaned once per year so as to protect them from yellowing.  Further, we tell them to protect their draperies from any excessive dampness such as moisture from rain or condensation on their windows since this can result in mildew and water marks on your drapes.  Also, it is important for you to rotate your draperies from time to time to vary the amount of exposure to light they receive.  Finally, we advise all our clients that it is important to keep draperies completely distanced from wood stoves, fireplaces, cigarettes, and kitchens because the smoke from each can contribute to soiling of the draperies.

Bring all your Draperies to our Trusted Dry Cleaners Today


If its time for cleaning your draperies, then don’t fret.  Let the qualified, highly skilled and experienced team here at McPherson Cleaners take care of all your drapery needs.  Count on us and know that your drapery dry cleaning needs are in the hands of some of the best all round, and highly reputable experts in the industry and definitely in the Nashville marketplace for sure.
