Garment & uniform preservation

Museum-grade cleaning and boxed preservation for uniforms, christening gowns, and keepsakes.

Garment & uniform preservation at Sunrise Cleaners
Overview

Some garments carry a lifetime of meaning — a military uniform, a christening gown, a graduation robe. We clean these keepsakes gently and seal them in acid-free, archival boxes that guard against yellowing, creasing, and time.

Preservation keeps the fabric, color, and memory intact for the next generation. Bring yours to our McDonough or Decatur shop.

Uniform & garment preservation FAQ

What can you preserve besides wedding gowns?

Military uniforms, christening and baptism gowns, graduation robes, and other meaningful garments.

How does preservation prevent yellowing?

Acid-free tissue and an archival sealed box limit exposure to light and oxidation, the main causes of yellowing.

Should the garment be cleaned before preservation?

Yes — invisible stains oxidize over time, so we always clean before sealing.
