Coat & Jacket Cleaning in London: Wool, Down, Leather & More

A good coat is a big investment. Cleaning it properly keeps it looking sharp and lasting for years. But coats and jackets come in many fabrics, and each needs the right care. Here is how professional coat cleaning works.

Why coats need professional cleaning

Coats pick up more than they show. Rain marks, salt, pollution, body oils and food all build up over a season. Most coats are also dry-clean-only, because wool, structured linings and padding do not survive a home wash. Professional dry cleaning lifts the grime without distorting the shape.

Every coat fabric, handled

• Wool and cashmere coats are gently cleaned and pressed to keep their drape.
• Down and padded jackets are cleaned and dried so the filling stays lofted, not clumped.
• Raincoats and technical jackets are cleaned and re-proofed where suitable.
• Leather and suede are handled by our specialist service.

How often should you clean a coat?

For most coats, once at the end of each season is enough. Clean it before you store it away, not after. Stored dirty, marks set and moths are drawn to food and sweat traces. A fresh, clean coat goes back into the wardrobe protected.

Coat repairs and sleeve alterations

A coat does not need replacing over a small fault. Our alterations and repairs service shortens sleeves, replaces broken zips, restitches linings and fixes buttons. A quick repair often gives a favourite coat years more life.

Storing coats between seasons

• Always clean coats before storing them.
• Use sturdy hangers to hold the shoulders.
• Cover with a breathable garment bag, not plastic.
• Store somewhere cool, dry and dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my coat?

For most coats, once at the end of each season is enough. Always clean a coat before storing it away, as stored marks set and attract moths.

Can you clean down and puffer jackets?

Yes. Down and padded jackets are cleaned and dried so the filling stays lofted rather than clumped. This needs professional handling, as home washing often ruins the filling.

Can you shorten coat or jacket sleeves?

Yes. Our alterations team shortens coat and jacket sleeves, replaces zips, restitches linings and repairs buttons — often alongside cleaning in one trip.
