A special garment deserves its own care plan and return date.
Consider coming home from your honeymoon. The dress is still in its bag, with a little of the dance floor on the hem. You want to care for it, but deciding who to trust with it feels bigger than another errand.
Start with what you want to do next: wear it, pass it on or keep it as a family keepsake. Freshly Folded offers wedding dress cleaning and preservation in San Diego, with collection and return arranged around your garment.
Tell us about the lace, the train, the marks you noticed and the plans you have for it. We can discuss the care before you send the dress.
Meet the family-owned teamCleaning, finishing and preservation serve different purposes. The right request starts with your plans for the dress.
Cleaning addresses wear and marks from the day. Preservation prepares a gown for storage with the agreed protective packaging. Discuss both if you plan to keep your dress as an heirloom. Compare the listed gown prices.
Discuss this careFor wrinkles from shipping or storage, ask about gown finishing and pressing. Share the care label and event date so we can discuss the method, price and return arrangements.

What comes back. Confirm finishing or preservation packaging, included pieces and the return date.
Pickup and terms. $5.99 covers collection and return. The $49.99 minimum cleaning charge applies. Ask for any applicable written preservation terms and storage instructions.
A $10 missed-pickup fee applies. Contact us promptly if your arrangements change.
Share the dress, condition and your plans for it. Confirm the quote, what is included, your address and the return date. Agree on how the gown and any accessories should be prepared for handoff.
Fabric, lining, seams, trim, beadwork and the care instructions all matter. Point out stains and existing damage, including anything you tried at home, so those details can inform the assessment.
The cleaning method and any stain treatment must suit the gown’s construction and condition. Ask how delicate elements will be handled. A difficult stain may remain when further treatment would put the fabric at risk.
The gown is inspected after cleaning, including areas identified at the start. Discuss any remaining marks, existing weaknesses or finishing needs with the team.
For preservation, agree on the acid-free box and tissue packaging for storage. Confirm how the gown, folds and any included accessories will be supported. Cleaning-only and pre-wedding orders have their own return arrangements.
Your gown comes back on the agreed schedule. Follow the supplied storage and handling instructions, keep the order and any written preservation terms, and contact the team if you have a question.
The details that make your dress yours also help determine its care. These are useful things to tell us before collection.
Ask before sending it. Age, construction and existing damage can limit treatment. Very fragile or historically significant pieces may need a specialist textile conservator.
Share the care label and fabric information, such as silk, satin, lace, tulle, organza, chiffon, taffeta, mikado or crepe. The lining, dyes and construction matter as much as the outer fabric. A fabric name alone does not confirm the cleaning method.
Point out pearls, sequins, crystals, embroidery, appliqués, metallic threads or floral details, including any that are loose. These details may need different handling from the fabric underneath.
Describe the shape and volume of the dress, from a fitted sheath to a full ball gown or two-piece outfit. Ask separately about the train, veil, belt and other pieces so the quote and packaging account for what you send.
Mention makeup, lipstick, wine, champagne, food, grass, sand, dirt or perspiration marks. Include when they happened and any home treatment or previous cleaning. For an older gown, describe discoloration and its storage history.
Preservation packaging is one part of storage. Where you keep the dress and how you handle it matter too.
Keep it in a cool, dry, dark location, away from heat and bright light. Avoid places with large swings in temperature or humidity.
Follow the gown-specific packing instructions. Acid-free tissue and a suitable box help support stored textiles; fragile or heavily beaded garments may be unsuitable for hanging.
A transport garment bag is not a long-term storage plan. Ask how to inspect the dress and whether opening or repacking affects any applicable preservation terms.
For more on supporting and storing textiles, read the Canadian Conservation Institute's textile-care advice. Follow the instructions supplied for your gown.
Contact us after the wedding, before a fitting or when you take an heirloom out of storage. Describe its condition and any deadline so the team can discuss a realistic plan.
Gown care has its own timing. Confirm the return date before booking, especially if you are travelling or planning to wear it.
Discuss your dress and dateWe collect in served San Diego County communities. Confirm your exact address and a collection window, then agree on the gown's handoff and packaging.

Freshly Folded is a family-owned laundry and garment-care business serving San Diego County. Gown care starts with a conversation about your dress, its condition and what you want to do with it next. Call (619) 586-5755 before arranging collection.

Cleaning addresses soil and stains using care suited to the garment. Preservation adds preparation and protective packaging for storage. Freshly Folded offers dedicated wedding gown care. Confirm the cleaning, packaging and accessories included in your preservation quote.
The listed wedding gown dry-cleaning price is $199 per item. Wedding gown preservation is listed at $500 per item; baptism gown or flower girl dress preservation is $350 per item. These are separate catalog entries, not a combined package quote. Confirm what is included, any additional care and the total before booking. The pickup charge is $5.99, including return.
Ask how the garment is assessed, what the quote includes, how existing damage and difficult stains are handled, which packaging is supplied and when it will return. Request any applicable written preservation terms and storage instructions. Compare those details for your particular dress.
Discuss your gown and plans with the team, confirm the quote and collection arrangements, then prepare the dress as agreed. The gown is inspected, cleaned using an appropriate method and checked afterward. Preservation requests include agreed packaging before the arranged return.
That depends on your plans. If you want to keep it in storage as a family keepsake, discuss preservation and storage materials. If you intend to wear, alter or sell it soon, ask whether cleaning and finishing are more appropriate. Neither option promises a particular resale value or a future fit.
Yes, pickup and return are available in served communities. Call first to confirm gown handling, your exact address and an available collection window. The $5.99 pickup charge covers collection and return. A $49.99 minimum cleaning charge and a $10 missed-pickup fee apply.
Stain treatment depends on the fabric, dyes, trim, condition and what caused the mark. Tell the team about previous cleaning attempts. The gown is checked before and after cleaning, but complete stain removal or reversal of existing discoloration cannot be promised.
Yes. Describe its age, storage history, discoloration, weak seams and fragile details before sending it. The team can discuss suitable care and whether a restoration request can be accepted. Some damage may remain; very fragile or historically significant textiles may need a specialist conservator.
Confirm a gown-specific return date before booking. Timing depends on the work, garment condition and any preservation packaging. Tell the team if the dress is needed for a wedding, fitting or travel. Ordinary laundry return schedules do not establish a gown-care deadline.
Ask about finishing or pressing for a dress that has been shipped, stored or prepared for a fitting. The care label, embellishments and construction determine suitability. Confirm the gown-specific price and date before collection; ordinary pressing prices are not a bridal quote.
