Frequently asked questions
Answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often about our cleaning process and of wedding dress care in general. If you have a question that we haven’t answered below, then please get in touch.
How does your service work?
How does your service work? First, you place your order online. We will then contact you via WhatsApp within 48 working hours to arrange your collection and provide instructions on how to pack your dress. Once your dress is ready for delivery, we will contact you and send the final invoice for the remaining balance. Once payment is received, we will arrange delivery with you
When will my dress be collected?
 After your order is placed, we’ll get in touch within 2 working days to schedule a convenient collection time for your dress.Â
Why is it important to get my wedding dress cleaned?
 Even if your dress looks clean, it’s still essential to have it professionally cleaned. Subtle, invisible marks — such as those caused by drink spills — can gradually darken and become noticeable over time. In addition, untreated stains can set deeply into the fabric, making them difficult or even impossible to remove later. Your wedding dress is an investment and cleaning it as soon as possible ensures it’s thoroughly sanitised and preserved, ready to be stored and cherished for years to come.Â
Why should I use a storage box?
 Our elegant handmade boxes are crafted from specially milled, pH-neutral board — free from both acid and alkali. Everyday materials like wood, standard cardboard, and fabric dyes often contain acids that, when in contact with your wedding dress, can lead to yellowing or discolouration over time. Unlike plastic covers, which can trap moisture and damage delicate fabrics in the long run, our Wedding Dress Boxes allow the fabric to breathe, helping to preserve its beauty and condition for years to come.Â
My wedding dress care label mentions the "Baptiste process" can you still be clean it?
 Yes, we have successfully cleaned thousands of dresses with this care label. While we don’t use the ‘Baptiste’ process — which is simply a registered trademark name another cleaner uses to describe their method — we take a more bespoke approach. As specialist wedding dress cleaners, we carefully design a tailored cleaning process based on the unique fabric composition and design of your gown, ensuring the safest and most effective results rather than limiting ourselves to a single method.Â
My wedding dress care label says "Spot clean only" can you still clean it?
 Yes. As specialist wedding dress cleaners, we use a range of advanced cleaning methods. We carefully assess each gown and design a cleaning process tailored to its specific fabric, construction, and condition — ensuring the most effective and safest results possible.Â
Will my wedding dress be insured?
Yes. In the very unlikely event that a claim arises, we will refer the matter directly to our insurers, who will handle it in accordance with standard industry practices and guidelines.Â
Can you guarantee to remove all marks and stains from my wedding dress?
We’d love to say yes, but unfortunately, the answer is no — and we advise caution with any company that claims otherwise. Wedding dresses are often made from delicate fabrics that can be easily damaged, discoloured, or weakened by aggressive stain removal treatments. What we can guarantee is that we’ll use our expertise and the most appropriate cleaning techniques to achieve the best possible result — and in the vast majority of cases, that means a beautifully cleaned, stain-free gown.Â
How long does the service take?
Our standard service typically takes between 3–6 weeks from the time you place your order to the delivery of your dress. However, if you need it sooner, we also offer an express service with a turnaround time of just 4 days. Please contact us for more details.Â
My wedding dress is damaged, do you offer a repair service?
Yes. We have an experienced seamstress who can assess any necessary repair work and provide you with a detailed quote before proceeding.Â
EXCELLENT Based on 45 reviews Posted on alanah gormanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought my wedding dress and shoes to Dulais following a very wet and muddy wedding day. I didn’t know what to expect as it was a big cleaning job. My gorgeous dress and shoes came back like brand new in a perfect box that I can keep them in forever. Thank you so much for looking after my wedding dress and returning it in pristine condition. Highly recommend to brides!Posted on Rachel DouglasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I dropped my wedding dress off covered in mud and picked it up looking as good as new again! Amazing service and a quick turnaround, would definitely recommend!Posted on Anthony HunterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service getting a difficult paint stain from a dress. Great work much appreciated!Posted on C AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had my wedding dress cleaned by Dulais! I chose to go straight after my wedding but was still nervous at the cost / whether all of the stains would come out. The bottom of the dress was black and there were a lot of drink stains from the dress mopping the floor. I collected my dress and it was absolutely immaculate. It smelt clean, looked clean and you would never even think it had even been worn. The price was very reasonable. So much so, I travelled a 4 hour round trip each time to use Dulais. I opted for the boxing service which means I can safely store the dress away and not worry about it going yellow. I want to keep my dress and the cleaning service offered from dulais means I now have a special keepsake forever. Thank you so so much, I highly recommend!Posted on RockchickbabeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After sitting in my wardrobe for 12 years in a bag my wedding dress was in a horrendous state, had turned yellow and stains everywhere as well as some Mould stains. So bad I thought it was unsalvageable. I took it to Dulais and they made me no promises but said they’d do their best. I was in absolute shock when we picked it up and it looked almost good as new. They have done such a wonderful job and it was worth every penny including the box that will help to preserve it in future. Highly highly recommend them and they are so friendly and helpful too!!Posted on Ann BorthwickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My future daughter in law was absolutely devastated when she noticed a mark on her wedding dress. It's ivory as well so difficult to source the right chalk for the day and ideally we just wanted the mark removed.. completely. Popped in to Dulais and Nav came to the rescue in 20 minutes whilst we popped next door for coffee and cake. He was so lovely too, totally understood how important it was to us and the mark is totally gone!!!!!We'll be back again after the wedding to get it completely cleaned. Thanks Nav!!!Posted on Chris TrewhittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service very professional and good customer service care.
