Maintaining the appearance of specific pieces of wardrobe is one of the most important elements in establishing continuity in a film, particularly because most movies are not filmed in chronological order. Dry cleaning companies are a great resource to utilize for ensuring that clothing, drapery, and other props remain in excellent condition throughout filming.
When it comes to cleaning delicate clothing, drapery, and furniture upholstery that need hand treatment, hiring a professional dry cleaning company is the most ideal solution to help save your production time and money. Dry cleaners are experienced in identifying the right cleaning solvent and spot removal method for the type of stain without ruining the integrity of the fabric. Dry cleaning also helps keep garments in like-new condition, with special precautions taken to prevent colors from fading, changes in texture, and shrinkage.
