What makes wet cleaning better than traditional dry cleaning?
Our Miele WetCare system uses water and biodegradable detergents instead of toxic chemicals. This removes water-based stains more effectively while protecting fabrics and reducing environmental impact.
Can you clean antique wedding dresses?
Yes, we specialise in restoring vintage garments. Our process safely removes age-related stains while preserving delicate fabrics. Many customers report their 30+ year-old dresses look 'as good as new'.
Do you offer commercial laundry services?
We provide tailored solutions for businesses, including competitive rates and guaranteed turnaround times. Our eco-friendly process meets commercial demands without compromising quality.
What items can be cleaned using your system?
We handle suits, dresses, curtains, duvets, leather, suede, silk, and delicate fabrics. If it can be traditionally dry cleaned, our wet cleaning process will safely clean it with better results.

Just had my wedding dress dry cleaned here and what can I say other than WOW! They have taken great care of it and it now looks brand new! It's so beautiful! Thank you so very much! Highly recommend! And I will be using you again! Not only have you managed to get all the stains out! (We married abroad so the bottom had been on the dusty floor, on the sand, and in the water a little!) but the service 5* all the way! Such a lovely couple and Cheryl the owner is so very nice & friendly! X

I've used Acorns on numerous occasions. I've found their service excellent. The staff are friendly always helpful. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dry cleaning.
