Have you ever purchased clothing that required special treatment, or spent a bit more than normal because you really loved a particular item? Obviously the care and treatment of a garment following the purchase is important. Appropriate care will lengthen its life and ensure that you continue to look fabulous in it!

How do you know who is the best to handle these special pieces? Ask the retailer. Retailers have to be very selective about the dry cleaner they use to handle their own garments. Obviously they would want to provide you with a referral to the dry cleaner that they have used either for their own personal needs or that the store uses – or both!

Bibbentuckers is a trusted partner of many high-end retailers. We have worked diligently to provide premier dry cleaning, laundry, stain removal and alteration services to many local retailers and commercial organizations. And our results speak for themselves!

“While many people might not consider a dry cleaner for their work out gear, at Nike we sell garments made from a multitude of fabrics. Some require special care, particularly for stain removal. We trust Bibbentuckers to care for our garments and are happy to refer our customers to them.”
Robbie Valdez, Store Manager, Nike Store – Northpark Center, Dallas, TX

“A white shirt is my own personal uniform, and they must be kept very white. I personally trust Bibbentuckers to handle my own cleaning needs. When it comes time to refer a client, I know Bibbentuckers will do a great job.”
Colleen Tishlias, Store Manager, Brooks Brothers, Dallas, TX

Summer is officially here, and with it, all the fun outdoor events. Unfortunately, you cannot wear your swimsuits and flip flops every day. There are times that you need to look  polished and professional, or chic and  polished for that big event.

Whether you have been working hard to have that swimsuit body, or you need to adjust a few items in your closet for a better fit, you know you can save money by having your items professionally altered. The next decision you must make is where to take your clothes, particularly those expensive, designer-label items, to ensure the alterations are done correctly. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just take them somewhere you already go, like your dry cleaners?

While having your dry cleaners perform alterations for you may save time, you will want to ask the following questions:

• Do they have professionals on staff?
• Do they understand how to handle and care for your expensive items?
• Do they provide full alterations or just an occasional button or hem?

At Bibbentuckers, we have full service alterations performed by our in-house professional alterations team. Our team handles more than buttons and hems. You can have your clothes altered and either pressed or cleaned and ready to go, all in one quick stop.

So, as you are sorting through your closet deciding what pieces you want to wear this summer, remember that you can come to us, your professional dry cleaners, and have your items altered by one of our remarkable alterations team.

Don’t need alterations? We also provide a press-only service that will have you in your summer clothes looking crisp, clean and ready to go.

Bibbentuckers provides both full-service dry cleaning and professional alterations. Our team receives thorough training to learn how to clean and alter your designer label items as well as to understand the nuances of cleaning, pressing and altering your best clothes. To learn more, please visit our website at www.Bibbentuckers.com.

You’ve put in tons of hours on a new high-profile project. The big presentation is coming up, and … you simply do not have time to go to the dry cleaners. Do you trust your favorite power suit to the low-cost cleaner around the corner? Do you bail out of work early so you can make the last drop off? Neither of these are appealing options, and let’s face it, you want to look amazing for the big presentation.

Why not have your dry cleaners deliver? At first blush, that seems like a great idea! But does your dry cleaning service even offer delivery? And if so, is it convenient for you?  

In order to provide the highest quality pick-up and delivery service, a dry cleaner needs a fine-tuned system that offers you options, saves you time, and does not cost you money. Let’s take a look at how this system can work for you:

• Pick-up and delivery two times per week – saving you time and giving you more than one day to send and receive your items

• Delivery can occur at your most convenient location – remember that big project? What if your dry cleaning could be picked up and delivered to your office where you were spending the majority of your time. Massive time savings!

• More than just dry cleaning – having your shoes repaired or minor alteration work without leaving your home or office allowing you to maximize your time. (Bibbentuckers offers all our services via delivery, including cleaning, pressing, shoe repair, and alterations.)

• Same driver means personalized service – your delivery route will be serviced by the same driver, who knows exactly what you require. Drop off in the back of your home? No problem. Need to drop off with the receptionist on the 7th floor. Easy! 

• Your own personal bag – keeping your items separate, safe and specific to you.

Bibbentuckers’ delivery and pick-up service has an added bonus - there is no additional cost to you. The service is easy to use. Simply deposit the items to be dry cleaned and serviced in your personal bag, put it in the prearranged drop-off place, and wait for them to be returned on the next delivery date.

So, the next time you need to be pressed and ready to go for your big presentation, remember…you can save time using a high quality delivery service.

Where do you find affordable services that will refresh those older pieces so you can wear them a while longer? Look no further than your qualified dry-cleaner.
