Winter clothes work hard. Snow, salt, slush, and constant wear can be tough on even the highest-quality fabrics. Yet many people don’t realize that improper care during winter is what shortens the life of coats, sweaters, and heavy garments.
At Deluxe Cleaners & Alterations, we see it every year and we want to help you avoid costly mistakes.
Why Winter Fabrics Need Special Care
Wool, cashmere, down, and blended materials react differently to moisture, heat, and agitation. Home washing can:
- Shrink garments
- Distort shape
- Damage insulation
- Lock in odors
Professional dry cleaning uses controlled processes designed specifically for these materials.
Salt Is the Silent Destroyer
Road salt doesn’t just stain it weakens fibers over time. White residue on hems and cuffs is a sign your coat needs professional cleaning now, not later.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until Spring
Many people store winter coats dirty, not realizing that invisible oils attract pests and cause fabric breakdown. Cleaning before storage preserves structure and prevents permanent damage.

Winter Accessories Count Too
