Costume Care is a specialist facility built from the ground-up for professional costume cleaning. Every piece of technology we use – from our professional Miele wet care equipment to our Costume-Safe processes – is chosen specifically because it's perfect for cleaning performance garments safely and expertly.
We use professional Miele wet care equipment. Miele equipment is designed for precision, reliability, and specialist cleaning applications.
Unlike standard commercial washers, Miele equipment gives us precise control over water temperature, cycle length, and wash intensity. This control is essential for costume cleaning – allowing us to customise each wash to the specific needs of different fabrics and garments.
Professional equipment means we can clean your costumes expertly, safely, and consistently – every single time.

Costume-Safe is our specialist cleaning approach – designed from the ground-up specifically for costume cleaning. It combines professional Miele equipment with textile-safe detergents and carefully controlled processes.
Traditional dry cleaning relies on harsh chemical solvents that can damage delicate fabrics and embellishments. Our Costume-Safe process uses water-based cleaning – gentler on fabrics, more effective for costume care, and better for the environment.
The result is clean costumes that look and perform beautifully – with all the care they deserve.
Generic laundries use standard washing equipment designed for everyday garments. Costumes are different – they have delicate fabrics, fine details, sequins, embellishments, and speciality materials. Standard equipment can't provide the specialist care costumes need.
Traditional dry cleaning uses harsh chemical solvents – designed for everyday garments, not specialist costume care. These chemicals can weaken fabrics, damage delicate details, and leave residues. They're the wrong tool for the job.
Our specialist facility was built specifically for costume cleaning. We chose professional Miele equipment and developed Costume-Safe processes because they're perfect for what we do. Our technology isn't a compromise – it's the right choice for expert costume care.
For costume cleaning, wet cleaning is more effective. Our Costume-Safe process removes dirt, sweat, makeup, and odours more thoroughly than dry cleaning – and it does so without harsh chemicals. The water-based approach is gentler on fabrics while being more effective at cleaning.
Water is the safer choice for costume cleaning. Solvent-based dry cleaning uses harsh chemicals that can damage delicate fabrics, weaken fibres, and leave chemical residues. Water-based cleaning is gentler, safer, and more effective for the types of delicate fabrics used in costumes.
Standard laundry detergents are formulated for everyday garments and can be too harsh for delicate costume fabrics. Our specialist textile-safe detergents are designed specifically for costume cleaning – they effectively remove dirt and odours while protecting colours, fabrics, and embellishments.
