Spring Has Sprung So It’s Time to Prep your Spring and Summer Wardrobe

Well, spring is finally upon us which means the time is now to not only do that long needed spring cleaning to your home, but also to swap out the fall and winter garbs for your fresh, comfy spring clothes.  Remember last fall when you were tucking all those cherished spring and summer pieces away only to make way for the long cold winter months?  Well, fret no more.  Winter is finally over and spring has definitely sprung, so let’s take time now to prep your spring and summer wardrobe and get ready to prance about in all those stylish, comfy outfits. 

Unpacking your spring and summer wardrobe is typically an experience we all look forward to.  Why?  Because it means no more snow, ice and cold, but rather it’s time to start enjoying the refreshing spring air and temperatures and the soon to be hot, happy summer days.  Be certain to bring your winter clothes to our friendly facility here at McPherson Cleaners for cleaning before you tuck them away until next year. 

A key element to your spring unpacking adventure is to start by performing some of your spring cleaning tasks, primarily cleaning out and organizing all your closets and your dresser drawers in preparation of your spring and summer wardrobe.  Take a few moments to wipe the bottom of your drawers and your closet rods to remove any dust and debris.  Then vacuum out your closet and when sifting through all your winter garb that needs to be packed away be sure to separate those items you no longer want and can donate at this time.

Next, in prepping your spring and summer wardrobe, hang some fresh scented dry lavender or balsam in your closet and perhaps some scented sachets in your dresser drawers to give a fresh, crisp smell to all your unpacked garments.  When unpacking your garments you may find that you want to have some of them freshly dry cleaned now that the warmer weather is here since they may very well be wrinkled and have a stored away scent to them.  If this is the case, take advantage of our drop off and pick up services here at McPherson Cleaners and let us get your garments cleaned and prepped in time for the fun and fancy of the spring and summer months. 

Our professional cleaners are committed to providing top of the line dry cleaning services to all our clients and look forward to helping you to get all your spring and summer garments ready for all your warm weather activities.  We offer special discounts and work within your timelines to accommodate all your dry cleaning needs.  There is nothing quite as comforting as donning yourself in freshly cleaned spring attire as you step out to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine and the many spring activities. 

Don’t forget throughout the warm weather months, to have your special garments regularly cleaned and altered if necessary to keep them looking like new and keep you looking sassy and stylish.  Proper maintenance and care of all your garments will surely extend the lifespan of your wardrobe and keep you looking your best season after season. 

Everybody loves the spring and surely everyone looks forward to the warm summer months and sunbathing and swimming in those fashionable bathing suits.  Remember, all the chlorine in the pool and the salt in the ocean water can cause wear and tear on your precious bathing suits so be certain to bring them on down during the summer months to give them a clean, crisp look that you can show off when basking in the sunlight on a beautiful white sandy beach.

For all your dry cleaning and even your alteration and tailoring needs, rely upon the friendly, highly skilled and professional services of Nashville’s number one cleaners.  McPherson Cleaners where quality services, affordable prices and customer satisfaction are always at the top of our list.

How to Care for Your Rayon Fabrics and Clothing Items

Rayon is a very popular fabric for all types of clothing. It is a fabric that is made primarily from cellulose fibers that are directly derived from wood pulp. The fibers are nature based and manufactured by treating the wood pulp with specialized chemicals. Rayon is by far one of the most popular and most favored fabrics in use today for clothing and even for a variety of home accessories as well.

Since rayon is manufactured from natural products, but is very heavily processed. These rayon products are therefore categorized as semi-synthetic fibers. Rayon fabrics drape very nicely and smoothly and are extremely soft. The fabric is very lightweight and because of its breathability and ability to easily absorb moisture, rayon can be easily dyed for all types of bright, vibrant colors.

There are some rayon fabrics, however, that when they become wet will shrink and become quite distorted. With its primary use being that of clothing and some household accessories, rayon has become one of the most favored fabrics today and one that not only looks good but is very affordable as well and when properly cared for has a very long life expectancy.

Here at McPherson Cleaners we take tremendous pride in providing top of the line dry cleaning services to all our clients. We fully understand that when it comes to rayon, it can be somewhat tricky to determine exactly how you should care for your rayon pieces. There are some rayon manufacturing processes that present with sturdy fabrics that are color fast and quite capable of being machine washed. However, there are other processes that produce rayon fabrics that require handling with extreme care in order to prevent any damages from occurring to the fabrics. The specialists here at McPherson Cleaners recommend reading the specific care labels that are on your garments or accessories so as to know how to properly care for your fabric pieces.

Back in the day when rayon fabrics were first very popular, they were all required to be dry cleaned. However, today many manufacturers are able to create rayon fabrics that are actually machine washable. The manufacturing process used to create these machine washable fabrics involves coating the specific fabrics with a specialized chemical finish. Because this added manufacturing process comes in at a fairly high cost, many rayon fabrics are not treated this way and dry cleaning remains the proper means of caring for most of your rayon fabrics.

It is important to note that rayon fabrics that are untreated, if washed with a washing machine, are sure to shrink a great deal in addition to having their colors fade and the softness and overall comfort of the fabric minimized. So give particular attention to the cleaning care label and if it reads dry clean only, then be certain not to deviate from the instructions or rest assured you will be in the market for a whole new piece of clothing or household accessory.

One special piece of advice we have to offer for those machine washable rayon fabrics is the simple fact that many types of rayon fabrics wrinkle easily and excessively when they are washed. If this happens typically the pieces of clothing will require ironing. Always ensure that you use a medium hot iron and iron the article of clothing on the wrong side or the opposite side of the fabric so as to avoid burning the fabric or causing a yellowing of the fabric surface. Once burned or scorched, your rayon clothing cannot be revived and returned to its pre-burned state.

If you have the need for specialized dry cleaning for your rayon garments or rayon household accessories then you have surely come to the right place. Here at McPherson Cleaners we specialize in all types of fabrics and dry cleaning services and are sure to provide you with top of the line services you’ll be more than satisfied with. Come on down to our friendly and reputable facility today and let us give special care to all your rayon garments. You’ll be more than glad you did!

One very popular question we often get is how to remove red wine stains from a favorite shirt, dress, jacket or blouse. First and foremost, should you spill wine on your clothing, your best chance of removing that stain is to respond quickly. Do not sit back and wait until tomorrow to remove your stain or get your article of clothing to the dry cleaners since this will only allow the stain to set in more deeply. You should always address this type of a stain issue immediately by simply blotting the liquid with a white piece of cotton, a white towel or a paper towel. Be certain to use white so as to avoid any chances of dye bleeding from a colored piece of cloth or towel. Make sure you blot and do not rub the stain because rubbing can cause the stain to set.
