Luxury care: London’s best laundry and dry cleaning services
When living abroad, it’s important to stay on top of your laundry. As at home, clothes can quickly pile up – leaving you short on outfits or, worse, turning up to work or uni in less-than-fresh attire.
For most people, doing laundry two to three times a week is enough. But for those without a private washing machine, or with luxury garments that need extra care, professional dry cleaning is often the best option. After all, some items are strictly dry clean only.
In London, there’s no shortage of options – from traditional high street laundrettes to modern, on-demand delivery services. The challenge lies in knowing which provider to trust, particularly if you’re new to the city. When it comes to high-quality clothing, it pays to choose a company experienced in luxury fabrics – specialists who handle premium garments every day and have the credentials to prove it.
As providers of luxury accommodation in London, we understand the importance of looking the part and keeping your wardrobe in top condition. While many of our properties include washer/dryers and a weekly maid service, there are times when professional dry cleaning in London is essential – whether for a graduation gown, a tailored suit, or a formal event outfit.
What makes a dry cleaner “luxury”?
Now, you’re probably thinking - what’s luxury about dry cleaning? Surely all dry cleaners wash, treat, and repair clothes? True, most get the basics right, but a luxury dry cleaner offers so much more.
Luxury dry cleaners don’t just care for clothes; they nurture them, restoring and preserving garments with an elevated level of attention and skill. It’s about craftsmanship, consistency, and customer experience.
The best luxury dry cleaners focus on:
Fabric expertise
Hand finishing and inspection
Eco-friendly and non-toxic solvents
Garment preservation and restoration services
Timely collection and delivery
Customisation and personalisation
Packaging and presentation
Discretion and privacy
Reputation and credentials
