The simple answer is YES....UNLESS they have already been washed at home and the lipstick as really "set" into the fabric. In general the same is true for ALL spots on garments. If you do NOTHING yourself, we can usually get the stains out. If you have a fresh wet stain, the most you should do is simply BLOT it. NEVER RUB A STAIN...then get it to Margaret's as soon as possible!

The simple answer is yes. The key to keeping a down item fluffy and full is proper drying. That is one reason why we require 1 to 2 weeks to process any typical down item. At Margaret’s Cleaners we will always follow the manufacturers recommendation but it is our experience that allows us to know what the best process is for each item.

There is always a slight chance that any item can shrink in processing. This is caused by the mechanical action of the washing process which allows the fibers to expand and loosen. During the drying process those fibers tightened up. If the manufacturer gives you a direction for example: "Cold wash only" on the care label, then there should be no shrinkage in cold washing. However with linens sometimes it is necessary to process them at a higher temperature for stain removal. So be sure to talk to your route driver or one of the CSR’s at our stores for more information when you drop off the item..

Always clean the entire set of table linens at the same time. Washing only one or two pieces of a matching colored set can result in slight variations in color over time.
