## What we clean and alter

- [Pants hemming in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/alterations/pants-hemming): Pants are hemmed by marking the length while you wear the shoes you plan to wear with them, then folding and stitching a new hem. Dress pants usually get a plain or cuffed hem, and jeans can often keep their original worn hem. You can bring pants in for hemming at Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Dress and skirt hemming in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/alterations/dress-and-skirt-hems): A dress or skirt is hemmed by marking the length while you stand in the shoes you will wear, then shortening each layer separately: the outer fabric, any lining and any underlayers. Sheer, layered and circle skirts need extra care to hang evenly. You can bring dresses and skirts in for hemming at Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Taking in and letting out clothes in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/alterations/taking-in-and-letting-out): Taking in makes a garment smaller by sewing its seams deeper, and letting out makes it larger by using spare fabric folded inside the seams. How much is possible depends on the seam allowance your garment has. You can bring pants, skirts and dresses in for taking in or letting out at Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Jacket and coat sleeve shortening in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/alterations/jacket-and-coat-sleeves): Jacket and coat sleeves are usually shortened from the cuff end, with the lining adjusted to match, so that about a quarter to half an inch of shirt cuff shows on a suit jacket. Sleeves with working buttonholes are harder to shorten from the cuff. You can bring jackets and coats in for sleeve changes at Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Seam and tear repairs in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/alterations/seam-and-tear-repairs): A split seam is usually the easiest repair, because the garment is sewn back along its original stitch line and the fix rarely shows. Small tears in open fabric and split linings can often be fixed too, though tears are more likely to stay visible. You can bring clothing in for seam and tear repairs at Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Button replacement in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/alterations/button-replacement): A missing or broken button is replaced by sewing on a matching one, ideally the spare that came sewn to the care label or an inside seam. Buttons on coats and heavy jackets usually need a thread shank so they sit right. You can bring garments in for button replacement at Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Suit cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/suits): Most wool suits should be dry cleaned, not washed, because the jacket has structure inside it that water can distort. Clean the jacket and pants together so they wear and fade evenly, and only when they are soiled or stained. You can bring your suit to Tomball Cleaners at 28145 State Highway 249 in Tomball for dry cleaning and pressing.
- [Blazer cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/sport-coats-and-blazers): Blazers and sport coats are usually dry cleaned because their interfacing, padding and lining react to water differently than the outer fabric. They are often worn more than a suit jacket and need cleaning sooner, especially at the collar and cuffs. You can bring blazers and sport coats to Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Dress pants cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/dress-pants-and-slacks): Wool dress pants and most tailored slacks should be dry cleaned and pressed rather than machine washed, because heat and agitation can shrink wool and soften a sharp crease.

- [Wool coat cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/wool-coats): Wool coats should be dry cleaned, usually once a season before you put them away, because wool shrinks and felts with water, heat and agitation. A clean coat also attracts fewer moths in storage. You can bring wool coats, including peacoats and long overcoats, to Tomball Cleaners at 28145 State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Cashmere sweater cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/sweaters-and-cashmere): Cashmere and fine wool sweaters can sometimes be hand washed if the label allows, but dry cleaning is the safer choice for dry clean labels, embellished knits and pieces you cannot replace. Knits shrink, felt and stretch easily, so the goal is minimal agitation and drying flat. You can bring sweaters to Tomball Cleaners on State Highway 249 in Tomball.
- [Silk blouse cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/silk-blouses-and-shirts): Most silk blouses should be dry cleaned, because silk can lose color, shrink or water spot when washed, and sweat and deodorant weaken it over time.

- [Tie cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/ties-and-scarves): Silk ties and most scarves should be dry cleaned rather than washed, because a tie is cut on the bias around an interlining that twists and puckers in water.

- [Dress shirt laundry in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/laundry/dress-shirts): Most cotton dress shirts are laundered, meaning washed in water and then pressed, rather than dry cleaned.

- [Dress cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/dresses): Clean a dress by its care label and its fabric.

- [Prom and formal gown cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/formal-and-prom-gowns): Formal and prom gowns made of satin, chiffon or tulle should be professionally dry cleaned, not washed, because these fabrics water spot, fray and lose their body easily.

- [Sequin and beaded dress cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/beaded-and-sequined-garments): Beaded and sequined garments need careful cleaning because the trim can melt, dissolve, lose color or fall off.

- [Uniform cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/laundry/uniforms-and-workwear): Most uniforms are washed, but some blazers and dress uniforms need dry cleaning, so follow each piece's care label.

- [Comforter cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/comforters-and-duvets): Comforters and duvets should be cleaned by their care label, and many are too large to wash and dry well at home.

- [Quilt and blanket cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/blankets-and-quilts): Wool blankets usually need dry cleaning or very gentle washing to avoid shrinking and felting.

- [Curtain and drape cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/dry-cleaning/curtains-and-drapes): Most lined drapes and heavy curtains should be dry cleaned, because water can shrink the face fabric and lining by different amounts.

- [Tablecloth cleaning in Tomball, TX](https://tomballcleaners.com/services/laundry/tablecloths-and-linens): Most cotton and linen tablecloths are washed, then pressed for a smooth finish, but stains from wine, gravy and candle wax need attention before they are dried or ironed.

## Garment care articles

- [Can you dry clean a leather jacket? What to know first](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/can-you-dry-clean-a-leather-jacket): Usually not with standard dry cleaning. Leather and suede are treated differently from fabric and often need a leather specialist. Wool jackets and suit jackets can be dry cleaned, though not after every wear. Down jackets depend on the label. Check the care tag, then call before you bring in anything unusual.
- [Can you dry clean cashmere? What to know before you do](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/can-you-dry-clean-cashmere): Yes, you can dry clean cashmere, and it is a safe choice for most cashmere sweaters. You don't need to do it often. Cleaning once a season or after several wears is enough for most pieces. Follow the care label, because some cashmere can be hand washed gently at home.
- [Can you dry clean ties? What to know about silk and more](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/can-you-dry-clean-ties): Yes, most ties can be dry cleaned, and silk ties usually do best with a professional dry cleaner. Don't clean a tie after every wear. Clean it when it has a stain, an odor, or visible grime, and check the care label first, because polyester ties sometimes have different instructions.
- [Can you dry clean at home? What works and what doesn't](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/can-you-dry-clean-at-home): You can freshen many dry clean items at home with steam, brushing, and spot cleaning, and some can be hand washed if the label and a test spot allow it. True dry cleaning needs professional equipment. Structured coats, suit jackets, ties, and delicate dresses are the riskiest to wash yourself.
- [Can you dry clean linen? What to know before you do](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/can-you-dry-clean-linen): Yes, you can dry clean linen, and it is often the safer choice for tailored, lined, dark, or blended pieces. Many plain linen shirts and unlined pants can also be washed gently at home if the care label allows it. Check the label first, since the fiber blend and construction decide the method.
- [How to get stains out of white clothes at home](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/how-to-get-stains-out-of-white-clothes): To get stains out of white clothes, blot the spot, rinse it from the back with cold water, and treat it with detergent or an oxygen bleach soak that suits the stain. Check the care label first, and keep the garment out of the dryer until the stain is completely gone.
- [How to care for a wool suit between trips to the cleaners](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/caring-for-wool-suits-between-cleanings): To care for a wool suit between cleanings, give it at least a full day of rest after each wear, brush it after you take it off, and hang it unbuttoned on a wide, shaped hanger with the pockets empty. Steam out wrinkles rather than pressing with a hot iron, and clean it when it has stains, lingering odors or is going into storage.
- [Cleaning comforters and bedding at home or with a professional](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/cleaning-comforters-and-bedding): Many comforters can be washed at home if the care label allows it and the machine is big enough for the comforter to move freely. If you have to force it in, the machine is too small. Use a gentle or bulky cycle, mild detergent and an extra rinse, then dry on low heat until the filling is dry all the way through.
- [Dry clean versus dry clean only and what the label means](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/dry-clean-vs-dry-clean-only): A label that says "dry clean" means dry cleaning is one safe method the maker stands behind, but it does not mean washing will cause damage. A label that says "dry clean only" is a warning that washing and other methods are likely to harm the garment. A circle symbol with a crossed out washtub means the same as dry clean only.
- [How to care for sweaters and knits so they keep their shape](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/how-to-care-for-sweaters-and-knits): To keep a sweater in shape, fold it instead of hanging it, since a knit's own weight stretches it on a hanger. Hand wash wool and cashmere in cool water only if the label allows, press the water out without wringing, and dry the sweater flat. Clean knits before storing them, because soil and body oils draw moths.
- [How to make your clothes last longer with simple daily habits](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/how-to-make-your-clothes-last-longer): To make clothes last longer, clean them less often but promptly when they are actually soiled, use hangers that fit the garment, and treat stains early by blotting with cool water. Prepare loads by emptying pockets and closing zippers, use the lowest dryer heat that works, mend small problems quickly, and store clothes in breathable bags instead of plastic.
- [How to read the care symbols on your clothing labels](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/how-to-read-clothing-care-labels): Care label symbols start from five shapes: a washtub for washing, a triangle for bleaching, a square for drying, an iron for ironing and a circle for professional cleaning. An X through any shape means do not do it. Dots show temperature or heat, with more dots meaning hotter, and lines underneath call for a gentler cycle.
- [Shirt starch levels explained, from none to heavy finish](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/shirt-starch-levels-explained): Cleaners usually offer four starch levels: none, light, medium and heavy. No starch gives a neat but softer shirt, light adds body without much stiffness, medium gives a noticeably crisp finish, and heavy makes a very stiff, sharp shirt that breathes less. Over many cleanings, heavier starch can make collar folds and cuff edges brittle so they fray sooner.
- [Stain first aid for the minutes after a spill happens](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/stain-first-aid-before-the-cleaners): Right after a spill, blot the stain with a clean white cloth instead of rubbing, scrape off any solids, and keep heat away, since hot water, dryers and irons can set many stains. Test any treatment on a hidden spot first. For silk, rayon, velvet, leather or dry clean only items, blot gently, keep the item cool and get it to a cleaner soon.
- [How to store seasonal clothes in hot and humid weather](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/storing-clothes-in-humid-weather): To store seasonal clothes in hot, humid weather, clean every item first and make sure it is fully dry, then move it out of the thin plastic bag into breathable cotton garment bags or fabric bins. Keep stored clothes in an air conditioned closet, not an attic or garage, leave room for air to move, and check on them every month or two.
- [Wedding dress care after the big day, from cleaning to storage](https://tomballcleaners.com/blog/wedding-dress-care-after-the-wedding): Have a wedding gown cleaned soon after the wedding, even if it looks spotless, because dried sugar from champagne, cake and soda can turn yellow or brown over time. Tell the cleaner about every spill you remember. For storage, keep the gown flat or boxed with acid free tissue in a cool, dark, dry spot inside the home.
