DELICATES

Fine fabrics need precise handling to preserve colour, shape and hand feel. Laundrette by Fast Cleaning Dundee treats delicates—such as silk, chiffon, lace and beaded pieces—with careful pre‑inspection, colour‑fastness testing and protective measures during cleaning and drying. Our aim is a clean, refreshed garment with structure intact.

We separate by fibre and embellishment type, use mesh bags and low‑stress cycles, and apply spot treatment with textile‑safe agents. Drying is kept cool and brief; shaped drying forms help maintain drape. Pressing is light and controlled to avoid glazing and imprint.

Domestic use: Households bring occasion wear and favourite pieces for gentle refresh with clear communication on achievable results.

Commercial use: Boutiques and small hire services value consistent finishing, detailed notes and careful packaging to keep garments presentable on rails.

In both cases we avoid over‑treating stains that could spread dyes, prioritising fabric safety and honest outcomes.

We photograph notable risks before processing and request approval for any optional steps, maintaining transparency throughout.
