Costume Care provides professional cleaning and refreshing for dance schools across the UK. Before your performances and before storage – specialist care that keeps your dance costumes fresh, clean, and ready for the next show.
Dance costumes spend most of the year in storage – gathering dust, odours, and stale air. Before your performance, your dancers deserve fresh, clean costumes that look and feel as good as they perform.
Our specialist dance costume refreshing removes storage odours, dust, and stale air – so your costumes are fresh and ready for the stage.
After a performance, dance costumes are worn out – absorbing sweat, stage makeup, and performance grime. Putting them back in storage dirty means mildew, staining, and deterioration.
Our professional cleaning removes sweat, makeup, and performance stains – so your costumes go back into storage clean, fresh, and protected for next season.
