    What is Wet Cleaning?

    By admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 14 December, 2018 | 1

    Over the past several years, wet cleaning has become an increasingly more popular way to clean and care for garments that were traditionally dry clean only. Instead of your clothes being cleaned in a dry cleaning solution, they are carefully processed using special detergents with water as the base. We now are able to take advantage of these methods to better clean your clothing. The first step is determine what the material is and which method is safest for cleaning. Some fabrics do better in water while others do not.

    What Factors Help Us Decide?

    • Fabric – Each fabric has its’ strengths. For example, cotton is very durable and is great when cleaned with water. Wool pants can be cleaned in wet cleaning, but it is much better for them to be dry cleaned because water can add stress to the fabric when it expands and contracts.
    • Colors – We test the colors on your garment prior to cleaning to ensure they are colorfast. Manufacturers may list the best way to clean a garment, but with experience grows wisdom, and with wisdom we know never to trust a clothing care label without first testing the color. We test color in dry cleaning by placing our solution on the garment and rubbing the garment with a white towel. If any of the color transfers to the white towel the item is not color fast, and runs the risk of bleeding when cleaned. The test is carried out the same way in wet cleaning, but using water instead.
    • Durability – Each garment is tested and analyzed to see which method is easier on the fabric. Other factors that help is decide which cleaning method are beads, sequins, and attachments. Advancements in equipment and program controls can help us clean clothing in a machine with the same delicate nature as hand wash!

    Do you have questions on how your item should be cleaned? We will provide the answers. Call us at 512-452-0928 or you can always email us at info@ianscleaners.com .

      We have updated our pick-up and delivery software to better connect customers with their orders, scheduling, and billing. We are alerting you of these new changes that will require your attention.

      Effective Monday, May 23rd, our old mobile app, and pre-existing website logins will be discontinued and no longer connect to our system.  We urgently need you to take the following action to prevent the interruption of service and the ability to place future orders:

      1. Use this link to download the new app (Apple Users): Ian’s Cleaners TX App
          Use this link to download the new app (Android Users): Ian’s Cleaners TX App

      (The name of the app is Ian’s Cleaners TX in the App Store and Google Play)

      2. Use your phone number or email to sign in to the new app. Password reset may be needed if using email as we imported our data from the old system and you likely already are a registered user only needing a password reset.

      3. Add your credit card information to avoid interruption of pick-up and delivery services. This will be a one-time step. This can be found be clicking “Profile” and then “Edit”.

      4. If you were on a recurring pickup schedule before this change you will remain on one. If for any reason you do not receive a pickup on your standard day please call us at 512-452-0928 so we can properly schedule you.

      5. Our text line has changed. Please save 512-643-9088 to your contacts as Ian’s Text Only Line. You will receive notifications from this number such as reminders the evening before your delivery.

      6. Our “skip” messages will look different than before and respond to “N” or “No”. The new system does not comprehend the word skip, so please make sure to use “N” or “No” when opting for us to not come by.

      7. Please select Pickup & Delivery and not In-Store Feature if you see it. Ian’s does not have a physical location to pick up and drop off at.

      8. If you have any questions or need help please call 512-452-0928 or email us.

      Thank you for supporting small, local business.
