My Steam Cleaner Got Stains out of My Wedding Dress!

I have 6 granddaughters. The older girls wanted to see Grandma's wedding dress that I had so carefully saved. I was married in 1965 and my second daughter wore the dress 15 years ago. It was so wonderful to see her walk down the aisle in my wedding dress! It brought such wonderful memories back of their Grandpa and I on our wedding day. Forty-five years ago the dry cleaners told to wrap the dress in a blue sheet after it was cleaned and put it in a garment bag.
Everyone was excited to see the dress--it is still such a beautiful gown. Unfortunately, when I opened the bag, some of the intricate lace flowers were brown! We were all sick. Nobody can wear a dress with brown lace. It was a disappointing moment.
On the way home, I decided to get my Sargent Steam machine out and heat it up to see what if anything it could do. I laid it on the table with a white towel underneath it. The machine has 298 degrees with 50 pounds of pressure. I had seen a video on our Sargent Steam site of getting chocolate out of a wedding dress. I applied the steam and within not many minutes, the brown color began to lighten. I continued each piece of lace until all of them were white as snow again. Hurray! I was a happy Grandma. I immediately got on the phone to relay my great news.
The dress is again put aware in a blue sheet and in an "acid-free" garment bag. I had read online that over time, the acid produced by a regular garment bag can deteriorate textiles. Protecting precious heirlooms is important. There are companies that can prepare heirlooms for storage.

I have many years of experience with a cleaning business, but once I became acquainted with the Sargent Steam cleaner, I decided not only to use the machines in my cleaning business, but also to become an independent business owner.
