Winter Wardrobe Care: Keep Coats, Parkas, and Wool Looking New
Winter in the Twin Cities is beautiful, but it’s tough on clothes. Salt, slush, and sudden temperature swings can leave coats and sweaters looking worn long before the season ends. A little extra care now keeps your favorite pieces fresh, warm, and ready for next year.
Why Professional Cleaning Matters
Snow and road salt don’t just stain fabric. They can break down fibers and shorten the life of your coat’s insulation. Our eco-friendly dry cleaning process removes salt, oil, and invisible grime without harsh chemicals so your garments stay soft and last longer.
Pre-Season Check
Before you head out into the cold:
Inspect seams and zippers for loose stitching.
Look for hidden spots on cuffs and collars where makeup or lotion can collect.
Refresh storage odors with a professional clean so your coat smells crisp from day one.
Mid-Season Maintenance
Minneapolis winters stretch for months. Mid-season cleaning helps keep dirt and salt from setting in:
Down jackets and parkas maintain their loft and warmth.
Wool coats stay smooth and resist pilling.
Regular cleaning also prevents musty odors from long stretches of indoor heat.
Off-Season Storage Tips
When spring finally arrives:
Clean everything before you pack it away since body oils attract moths.
Use breathable garment bags instead of plastic to avoid trapped moisture.
Store in a cool, dry closet away from sunlight.
