What Happens After We Receive the Garment

Once the garment arrives at the preservation facility, it's assigned a unique serial number and undergoes a thorough inspection for stains, hemline soiling, and loose beading. That serial number allows the garment's progress to be tracked every step of the way. Once cleaning is complete, the garment is carefully packed and shipped back with a 100-year certificate guaranteeing it against future yellowing or staining, ready to become a treasured heirloom for generations to come. Preservation typically takes 2 to 8 weeks from the day the garment arrives, unless Rush Service is selected.

A Few More Things to Know

• Need it sent elsewhere? The garment can ship to a different address than your own.
• There's no rush to order, your kit never expires, so the best time to preserve the garment is simply whenever the event is complete.
• The garment's safety is our priority. Delivery requires a signature from a resident at your home, and every kit includes shipping insurance for extra peace of mind.
• On average, 98% of stains are successfully removed from the garment.

Our Preservation Process

Every garment receives meticulous, individual care. We begin with a detailed inspection to locate every stain, documented step-by-step in a full Quality Control Report. Using proven cleaning formulas, including specialized treatment for sugar stains, the garment is cleaned thoroughly by hand. The full process typically wraps up within 2 to 8 weeks of the garment arriving at the facility.
