House Cleaning and Stain Removal Forum

[Lindsay]

Hi!
I had an absloutly beautiful outdoor wedding, But now the bottom of my gown and train is covered in dirt and grass stains. I've been reading up on trying to do it myself. The dress is silk and lace with beading all over. The color is a very slight off-white (not the tobacco stained white, as I call it) I would love to try cleaning it a home first before I call in the pros with the harsh chemicals.
Has anyone had any luck with this? Or have any advise?

Congratulations on your wedding!

Honestly, something as delicate as a wedding dress with beading, I'll defer this type of stain removal to a professional dry cleaner.

Good luck,
Mrs. Clean

After the wedding is over, you can either take your dress to a dry cleaner or attempt to clean it yourself. Remember that your wedding dress represents a large investment, and more importantly, a piece of memorable of that wonderful day, that is worth preserving in a pristine state!

Don't try doing anything from your end. Your wedding dress is as precious as anything more precious you could have . Do no experiment - give that to the dry cleaners.
