The Dress Cleaning Company is a highly regarded specialist in wedding dress cleaning and preservation, based in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland. With over 30 years of experience in the bridal industry, the company has earned a strong reputation for its expert care and meticulous attention to detail. Whether it’s a delicate lace gown, a vintage bridal dress, or a modern designer piece, The Dress Cleaning Company offers professional services that ensure cherished garments are cleaned, restored, and preserved to the highest standard. The company provides a comprehensive range of services, including the cleaning and preservation of wedding dresses, veils, bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, kilts, mother-of-the-bride/groom outfits, prom dresses, and even christening gowns. Each item is handled with the utmost care and is returned beautifully packaged in acid-free, pH-neutral tissue with an option to add on a preservation box, preventing discolouration and fabric deterioration over time. A key part of our service is carrying out minor repairs during the cleaning and preservation process.

These repairs are performed by skilled professionals to ensure that the garment is returned not only clean, but also in excellent condition, ready to be treasured or even worn again in the future. Customers can order services online and use a fully insured courier for nationwide collection and delivery. To ensure a smooth and secure experience, The Dress Cleaning Company uses a fully insured, trackable DPD courier service. Garments are collected directly from the customer’s doorstep on a date that suits them, providing complete flexibility and peace of mind. Each parcel can be tracked throughout its journey, from collection to return, allowing customers to feel confident that their cherished garments are in safe hands.

I couldn’t be happier with the service…

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From the very beginning, the team was so caring and attentive, which immediately put me at ease about trusting them with something so special to me. Every question I had was answered, and their communication throughout the process was excellent.

When I got my dress back, I was honestly amazed — it looked as if it was brand new again. The level of care and attention to detail was incredible, and it’s clear they take real pride in what they do. It wasn’t just about cleaning the dress; they truly understood the sentimental value behind it.

I would absolutely recommend them to any bride wanting their dress handled with genuine care and professionalism. Thank you for making something so important feel so safe in your hands!

Perfect

I could not recommend this any more. 3.5 years after my wedding I decided to get my dress cleaned. Not only was an outstanding job done (to clean my dress of dirt, wine and everything else) the process was perfect from start to finish. I was always kept up to date and informed at every stage and when I received my dress back I could tell it was handled with love and care! Thank you

Amazing company to work with

Amazing company to work with. They organise everything throughout the whole process. Professional and also friendly service that keeps you up to date with what to expect from pick up, the cleaning journey and drop off. The quality of the box that is lace lined and has a lovely ribbon around it is such a beautiful detail too. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have their dress professionally cleaned and boxed for keeping. I am delighted with the service!

I couldn’t be happier with the results!

I couldn’t be happier with the results! The Dress Cleaning Company did a wonderful job with my wedding dress as it had got quite grubby throughout the course of the day.
It arrived beautifully packaged and presented and is such a lovely way to keep and store the dress. I also chose to get my veil cleaned which they kindly neatly folded and wrapped in tissue paper in its original box.
The staff were incredibly friendly and great at keeping me updated as the process does take a little while, but I had no issues what so ever.
I’m so glad I decided to go ahead! Thank you so much ladies!

I have had a great experience with them from start to finish. Their communication was quick and all the instructions about how to package up my dress were easy to follow. They arrange collection and delivery from my house. They also sent pictures of the dress once cleaned to check I was happy with it. As much as this process does take a while the care that is put into it at every step is amazing. My dress has arrived back and it is so beautifully packaged in a box with tissue paper and ribbon. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. It has surpassed all my expectations.

Beautiful transformation

They took my mother’s 53 year old Wedding Dress that was discoloured and smelly and turned it into like new. My Dad passed earlier this year and for Mum to receive this before Christmas has meant everything … highly recommended

Outstanding wedding gown cleaning service

From the first contact to receiving the cleaned and repaired gown and veil in the keepsake box, the service provided has been outstanding.
We are beyond delighted with the restored dress, beautifully packaged with a personalised message on the box lid. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a professional bridal gown cleaning service.

Miracle Workers work here

Amazing company. Very attentive, considerate and truly care for their customers. My wedding Dress was in a terrible state and I really did not think they would be able to save it. What was returned to me was an item that looked brand new although over 52 years old and stored in its original box. Sadly I was unaware the original box was no longer fit for purpose. My dress is now in a perfect, beautiful and safe box. Simply perfect in every way. Huge thank you’s to the whole team. You are all simply AMAZING

I really recommend this service for cleaning your wedding dress. I was a bit nervous about getting mine cleaned because it was silk and so special to me. The dress cleaning company were just perfect, pick up and delivery of the dress was easy and the emails and photos they share throughout the process made me feel reassured. They made my dress look.beautifup and managed to get out some stubborn stains! Its a great service

Vintage wedding dress clean

My daughter was married in her grandmother’s 1963 wedding dress in July. We wanted a company who we hoped would be able to remove the yellow stains and clean it. Caitlin and team did a fantastic job, their expert care and attention to detail ensured that the staining was removed completely. They made the whole process so easy and simple, even arranging collection and return. The wedding day was wet and so had no hesitation asking them to clean the dress and dirty hem. Brilliant service!

Cleaning of 100+year old christening gown

I have just received my grans christening gown back and I am blown away by how beautiful it looks after being cleaned. Caitlin and her team have taken such care of this for me. The service they provide is second to none and kept me informed each step of the way. I was nervous initially with something so precious as I found the information via an online search, not via a personal recommendation, but after speaking to Caitlin I was reassured of the service they provided and the limitations of handling such a delicate fabric.
I would recommend The Dress Cleaning Company for the cleaning of any precious and / or wedding gowns.

Turned my old kit into a new one again

I have just received my kilt back from The Dress Cleaning Company and I am delighted with what they have done. It looks like it was when new on the day of my wedding over 33 years ago and I didn't think it would ever look that good again. The communications were great and their work was fantastic. Thoroughly recommend them for the excellent quality of their work,
