Fall Cleaning: The 8 Items You Should Bring to Your Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaner Right Now

It’s that magical time of year when the air turns crisp, the pumpkin spice lattes start flowing, and you finally get to break out those cozy layers you’ve had tucked away all summer. But before you wrap yourself up in that wool sweater you haven’t seen since March, let’s talk about a little thing called “fall prep.” Yep, just like we prep our homes for the change in seasons, our wardrobes need some love, too! And that’s where your friendly, eco-conscious dry cleaner (ahem, that’s us!) comes in.

Wondering what you should bring in as the leaves start to turn? Here’s your ultimate checklist:

1. The Winter Coat That’s Been Hibernating Since Last Year

You’ve probably been pretending your winter coat doesn’t exist all summer, but now that fall’s knocking on the door, it’s time to face the music. Before you throw it on and realize it still smells like that one bonfire from last year, bring it in for a professional clean. We’ll freshen it up, get rid of any lingering odors, and have it looking brand new—no harsh chemicals required.

Pro tip: Check for any loose buttons, broken zippers, or tears that need fixing. We can handle that, too. Your coat deserves a glow-up!

2. Sweaters, Sweaters, and More Sweaters

Oh, how we’ve missed our beloved sweaters! But before you snuggle up in your favorite cashmere turtleneck, let’s make sure it’s ready for action. Sweaters can pick up dust, odors, and even gasp moth damage while in storage. Bring them in for a gentle, eco-friendly clean that’ll leave them soft, fresh, and ready to take on fall.

And yes, even that one sweater that somehow became a cat bed over the summer—we’ve got you covered.

3. Your Trusty Fall Blankets and Throws

Let’s be honest: Fall = blanket season. But if your throw blanket’s been collecting dust all summer or doubling as a picnic blanket, it’s probably time for a wash. We’ll give it a gentle cleaning that’ll make it feel (and smell) as cozy as a campfire without the smoke.

Fun fact: We can clean those chunky knit blankets that look amazing on Instagram but are impossible to wash at home without turning them into a soggy mess.

4. Scarves, Hats, and Gloves: The Unsung Heroes of Fall

These accessories work hard to keep you warm, so show them some love before the season kicks off. Wool scarves, cashmere gloves, and knitted beanies can all benefit from a gentle cleaning to remove dust, sweat, and any leftover remnants of last year’s winter adventures. And let’s be real—you don’t want to be that person with the scarf that still smells like last year’s holiday party, do you?

5. Your Fancy Fall Dresses and Suits (Yes, It’s Time to Dress Up Again)

Fall brings weddings, parties, and work events, which means it’s time to dust off those fancier items you’ve neglected all summer. If you’ve got a wool suit, silk dress, or even that velvet blazer you’ve been dying to wear again, bring them in for a thorough cleaning. Our eco-friendly process will keep your fabrics looking sharp without any of the harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric over time.

Bonus tip: If you’re planning on layering your fancy dress over a turtleneck or undershirt, make sure that’s clean, too. You deserve the full fall glow-up, my friend.

6. Quilts and Comforters That Need a Refresh

If you’ve already swapped out your lightweight summer bedding for something warmer, don’t forget to give those heavier quilts and comforters a little TLC. These bulky items can be a pain to clean at home, but that’s why we’re here. We’ll make sure they’re clean, fluffy, and ready to keep you toasty as the temperatures drop.

7. Denim Jackets, Flannels, and Everything in Between

You know that denim jacket that goes with literally everything? It’s time to give it a refresh! Denim can absorb odors, sweat, and grime, especially if it’s been your go-to layer during those early fall bonfires. Flannels, corduroy shirts, and other favorite fall pieces deserve a bit of love, too—our gentle cleaning process will have them looking (and feeling) like new.

8. That One Thing You’re Not Sure How to Clean

You know the item I’m talking about. The one you stuffed in the back of your closet because you weren’t quite sure if it was washable. Maybe it’s a vintage coat you inherited, that pleather skirt you splurged on, or a silk blouse that screams “special occasion.” Instead of taking a wild guess and accidentally ruining it, bring it to us. We specialize in eco-friendly cleaning for delicate fabrics and tricky materials, so you can wear it with confidence this season.
