Theatrical Costume Cleaning

Expert Theatrical Costume Care

Protecting Your Costumes' Integrity and Color

For the vibrant theater community right here in the Salt Lake area, costumes are never just garments—they are essential elements of the story, the character, and the magic on stage. As the premier choice for local theaters, Village Cleaners has spent years building a trusted partnership, diligently cleaning and caring for these theatrical treasures.

We recognize that stage wear is inherently challenging. Costumes are delicate, intricate works of art, often constructed from a unique mix of fabrics, beads, feathers, fur, and other materials that demand nothing less than professional, meticulous handling. Our experienced staff understands that many of these exquisite pieces are irreplaceable and often require dedicated hand cleaning. We have cultivated our expertise to be a reliable, silent partner to the local theater scene, ensuring that every costume receives the precision it deserves.

Gentle Technology Preserves the Performance

The core challenge in costume cleaning is maintaining the delicate structure and vibrant look while effectively removing makeup, sweat, and stage grime that accumulate quickly.

Our proprietary, environmentally conscious green-cleaning technology, Sensene, is our secret weapon for meeting these high demands:

Fabric Integrity: Sensene is exceptionally gentle, treating even the most delicate and elegant fabrics with care. This ensures the costume’s structure and hand feel are maintained, which is vital for pieces that must withstand repeated cleanings.
Vibrant Color: The process is formulated to preserve bright and vibrant colors, a necessity for costumes that must pop under harsh stage lighting and maintain historical accuracy.
Comfort: The technique results in a comfortable, supple finish and, crucially, leaves absolutely no residual dry clean smell—meaning actors can take the stage focused entirely on their craft.

While Sensene handles the majority of our delicate, dry-clean-only pieces, we recognize that some costumes require a wash. Rest assured, we are fully equipped to perform specialized wet cleaning as well, ensuring we have a safe solution for every fabric care tag that comes through our doors.

Supporting the Show: Convenience for Production Teams

In the world of theater, time is the rarest commodity, and the show must always go on. We have tailored our service structure to integrate seamlessly with the demanding production schedules of local theaters:

Same-Day Turnaround: We offer our local theater partners crucial same-day service, providing rapid turnaround when a costume is needed for a final rehearsal or a last-minute evening performance.
Logistical Ease: To save precious time and simplify logistics for busy production managers, we provide both free pick up and delivery directly to the theater.
Simplified Accounting: For budgeting ease, we offer straightforward monthly billing.

Our commitment is straightforward: to ensure every theatrical costume is always clean, fresh, and ready for its spotlight moment, allowing the local theater community to focus entirely on creating unforgettable magic on stage.
