Unfortunately they are so busy they did not have time to update their website regarding specialist cleaning suede and leather products I left the very large suede coat with them and they have promised to try to find an alternative cleaner, apparently these items are now so rare people able to clean them have now retired

I’d left it last minute to get my suit dry cleaned, and nobody was able to do it in 24 hours. I rang Carlton’s and they were brilliant. Turned it around in less than 24 hours and my suit looks great.
Great customer service and real top quality dry cleaning. 5 stars

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Carlton initially to get an old suit cleaned for a wedding. They did at good job at a reasonable price. After the wedding we had the wedding dress and another suit cleaned. We had thought the dress would be a write off as it had rained on the day and it got dirty just doing the photos! However Imran did a great job and was extremely helpful when I went to collect. He obviously takes pride in the work he does and I would definitely recommend him to others

My daughter’s wedding dress was like new and beautifully boxed on return and my dress was also dry cleaned. Highly recommended and would definitely use again.

Took some water stained blinds and a very old cross stitch blanket that has been stained for decades and Carlton cleaners got them looking brand new. Thank you so much for saving my handmade blinds and sentimental cross stitch work. Would highly recommend their services. Friendly and efficient.

FAQs

How soon after the wedding should my dress be cleaned?

We recommend having your wedding dress cleaned as soon as possible after the day. Invisible stains such as sugar, sweat and drinks can oxidise over time and become harder to remove if left untreated.

Can you clean delicate fabrics like lace, silk or beading?

Yes. We specialise in cleaning delicate and intricate wedding gowns, including lace, silk, tulle, embroidery and beaded details. Each dress is carefully assessed before cleaning to ensure the safest method is used.

Can you remove stains from grass, makeup or food?

Most common wedding day stains can be treated successfully. This includes grass marks, makeup, wine, dirt and general wear. While no cleaner can guarantee removal of every stain, we use specialist techniques to achieve the best possible result.

Is wedding dress cleaning different from standard dry cleaning?

Yes. Wedding dresses require specialist handling due to their fabrics, construction and detailing. Each gown is cleaned individually with focused attention rather than processed with standard garments.

Do you offer wedding dress preservation?

We offer professional cleaning with the option to have your dress carefully prepared for long-term storage. This helps protect the fabric and maintain its condition over time.

Can you clean vintage or older wedding dresses?

Yes. We regularly clean vintage and older gowns, including dresses that have been stored for many years. These are assessed carefully to choose the most appropriate and gentle cleaning process.

How long does wedding dress cleaning take?

Cleaning times vary depending on the fabric, condition and level of staining. We will advise on expected turnaround once your dress has been inspected.
