What is the Purse Valet?

We see it all too often: handbags and purses that are filthy from being left on dirty floors.

How to clean leather purses — purse cleaning tips

It’s a fact of life: stains happen. Still, finding a stain is on your designer handbag (which might have been an investment you’d hoped to get some mileage out of), can be tough to take sitting down.

Before and after: stroller detailing

This phil & ted sport stroller came to us a bit haggard. The owner tried cleaning it repeatedly, but the dark splotchy stains came back. When she brought it into us, we saw that we were dealing with a severe case of mold. We disassembled the buggy, cleaned each fabric surface individually, and carefully put [...]

Why there’s no such thing as ‘Organic Dry Cleaning’

. . Dry Cleaning isn’t peaches; it’s not agriculture. And Dry Cleaners, whether they’re labeled “organic” or not, won’t be showing up at your local farmer’s market any time soon. .
