Asian and Indian Clothes Dry Cleaning

Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis and salwar kameez cleaned in water, with pleats, embroidery and beadwork looked at first.

We dry clean Asian and Indian clothes at The Boathouse in Gillingham: silk sarees and cotton sarees, lehenga choli, anarkali suits, salwar kameez, patiala suits, sherwanis, kurta pyjamas, dupattas and ghararas. Bring the piece in so we can look at the fabric, the lining and any zari or beadwork before we agree how to clean it.

Wedding lehenga, engagement saree and reception sherwani all wait for that conversation. Sequins, mirror work, heavy embroidery and mixed silks change the method, so we set the clean and the date with you at the counter rather than quoting a standard turnaround online.

Saree and dupatta dry cleaning

Silk saree, Banarasi saree, Kanchipuram saree and everyday cotton saree each need a different finish. We note how the pleats sit, whether the pallu has heavy work, and whether the blouse goes through on the same ticket. Dupatta and odhni can be cleaned and pressed to match.

Lehenga, salwar kameez and anarkali

Lehenga skirt, choli and dupatta can come in as one set so they return together. Salwar kameez, patiala suit and anarkali dress go through with the same care for linings, net panels and hand embroidery. Tell us the event date when you drop off and we will agree when you will have it back.

Sherwani, kurta and menswear

Sherwani, kurta pyjama, Indo-western jacket and Nehru jacket are pressed after cleaning so the collar, cuffs and embroidery sit flat. A hem, a lining or a loose button can be dealt with on the same visit.

How do I book?

Walk in at The Boathouse with the garment, or book a collection across Medway and Kent. Call 01634 577066 if you want to talk through a wedding outfit before you come in.

Questions

What is eco dry cleaning?

Clothes go into water with a biodegradable detergent rather than the solvent a traditional dry cleaner would use. We press the piece afterwards and hand it back on a hanger.

We look at each garment with you and note stains before we start. If a fabric needs a different method, or if it is leather or suede we have not agreed to take, we will tell you at drop-off.

Do you do alterations?

Yes. We take up hems, close split seams, replace buttons and zips, and take garments in or let them out, all in the same building as the cleaning. A button starts at £5.50, a standard zip at £21.50 and trouser shortening at £21.50, with 10% off when you have three things done. The full list is on the prices page.

We agree the work with you first and clean the garment afterwards, so a new hem comes back properly finished instead of pressed over the old crease. Making a garment from scratch is the one thing we do not do.

Can you dry clean a saree?

Yes. Silk saree, cotton saree, Banarasi saree and Kanchipuram saree all come through here. We open the piece out with you and look at the zari, the beadwork and the way the pleats are set.

We clean in water with biodegradable detergent rather than perc, then finish the pallu and pleats by hand. Blouse and dupatta can go on the same ticket. Walk in at The Boathouse or book a collection across Medway.

Can you clean a lehenga or sherwani?

Yes, all of them: wedding lehenga, lehenga choli, anarkali, salwar kameez, sherwani. Heavy embroidery, sequins and a layered skirt change the method, and they change the date we agree with you.

Bring the full set in if you can, or tell us what is in the bag when you book a collection. Call 01634 577066 with the event date and we will say when you can have it back.
