Frequently Asked Questions - Professional Pressing in El Cajon

What's the difference between pressing and dry cleaning?
Pressing uses commercial steam equipment to remove wrinkles and create a crisp appearance. Dry cleaning involves chemical solvents to clean garments. Many items only need pressing, not full dry cleaning.
How much starch should I request?
Light starch provides subtle crispness for comfortable all-day wear. Medium starch creates a professional appearance with moderate stiffness. Heavy starch delivers maximum crispness for an executive presentation. We'll help you find your preference.
Can you press delicate fabrics like silk or linen?
Yes! We adjust temperature, moisture, and technique based on fabric type. Silk receives lower heat, linen gets higher heat and moisture. Our commercial equipment handles all fabrics properly.
How are pressed garments returned?
On professional hangers, protected and ready to hang in your closet. Shirts arrive crisp and wrinkle-free. Pants have sharp creases. Everything is ready to wear immediately.
What's the turnaround time?
Next business day. Schedule pickup Monday-Saturday and receive pressed garments back the following day. Same-day service is not available.
Do you press shirts that need washing?
Pressing removes wrinkles from clean garments. If shirts need washing first, use our wash-and-fold service (includes washing, drying, and folding) or dry cleaning service (includes cleaning and pressing).
Can you match the pressing I get at other cleaners?
Absolutely! Tell us your preferences, starch level, collar style, and crease placement. We match exactly what you want.
How do you work around work schedules?
We offer flexible pickup times, early morning before you leave for work, evening after you return, or weekend service. Choose what works for your schedule.
What if I have a last-minute interview or meeting?
Call us at (619) 586-5755. While we can't guarantee same-day service, we'll do our best to accommodate urgent professional needs when possible.
Can I include pressing with dry cleaning?
Yes! When you use our dry cleaning service, pressing is included. This FAQ addresses standalone pressing for clean garments.
How do I prepare garments for pickup?
Hang or fold clean items needing pressing in any bag or on hangers. No need to sort or organize, we handle everything. Check pockets to ensure they're empty.
Can I set specific collar and cuff preferences?
Absolutely! Tell us exactly how you want collars folded, whether you want cuffs creased, and any other specific details. We follow your instructions precisely every time.
Why should El Cajon professionals use a pressing service?
Save time every week. Achieve commercial-quality results impossible with home irons. Return home to crisp, ready-to-wear professional clothing. Focus on your career instead of ironing.
