Our top tips to take care of your Canada Goose Jacket

Canada Goose jackets and coats are a go-to for the adventurer in the winter season. However, with their super branding and quality items comes a heavy price tag - you're paying to keep warm! Make sure your jacket lasts the longest with our tips for looking after your jacket for years to come.

Don't clean Canada Goose Jackets at home

When a parka jacket comes into contact with water, the feather and down stuffing clump into balls, meaning that the jacket will need to be thoroughly air dried after cleaning.

However, air drying the jacket will not remove clumping, and therefore the jacket will also need to go through a vigorous drying cycle. This cycle can damage the stuffing inside, or burn the outer shell material if on too high a heat, and if the heat setting is not hot enough the down from the inside may not dry properly, keeping the down damp and leaving a foul smell over time.

With the dry cleaning process, these risks are omitted which is why dry cleaning is recommended. Note that trying to clean your Canada Goose parka jacket at home will break the warrantee as mentioned above, so before attempting this you must ask yourself: Is it worth taking the risk for the sake of skimping on cleaning costs?

Clean your Canada Goose Jacket often

Due to the situations you may wear your Cananda Goose jacket, it's recommended to clean it often to avoid stains setting in. For the adventureres who wear their jacket nearly every day during the winter, it is recommended to clean it monthly. If you wear it for adventures every so often, then make sure to clean the jacket once you no longer intend to wear it.

Storing your Canada Goose jacket away without cleaning can result in foul smells from the down inside due to trapped moisture, and can also result in stain setting, which is when a stain becomes part of the fabric fibres and cannot be removed without invasive cleaning - which could damage your jacket.

Look after your jacket's hood fur

Most Canada Goose jacket hood fur trips are made with real animal fur, unless they were manufactured after 2021 - 2022, which means they are very delicate and need to be cleaned thoroughly.

If your fur trip becomes stained, then make sure to clean it as soon as possible, as the delicate fur fibres can absorb stains much faster than general fabrics like cotton and polyester. When storing your jacket, make sure to remove the fur to avoid it coming out of shape, and store separately to the jacket. You can follow the official care guidelines from Canada Goose to make sure you're following all the steps correctly.

The Dry Cleaning Process

by Sabrina Noman • 5 July 2018

Ever wondered what happens to your clothes when you take them to the dry cleaners? The hush hush of what happens behind the counter? Fear no more, as we are going to take you behind the curtain and reveal the exact process for cleaning clothes professionally. Step 1 We inspect your clothes thoroughly for any stains, or any plastics or artwork that might melt when in contact with the solvents. This is basically a safety process for your clothes. We also check pockets for any nasties that may be hiding in there. Sometimes we find tissues and the odd pen, but trust us when we say we've found waaaaayyy worst things lurking in pockets.

How to get the most out of your Dry Cleaners

by Sabrina Noman • 10 April 2018

At Five Elms Dry Cleaners, we like to be as helpful as possible so our customers can get the best experience when using our services. To ensure the quickest possible turn around time for your garments, take a look at these tips to help maximise your satisfaction with us. 1. Don't Leave cleaning to the last minute If you have a wedding or event on Saturday morning, don't bring your clothing in on Friday afternoon. Friday and Saturday are the busiest days for us so we might not be able to clean your clothes on time. It is best to allow at least 24-48hours for your cleaning. 2. Leave extra time for whites If bringing whites in, leave an extra day for pick up so we can ensure your whites come out sparkling and bright. If whites are heavily stained, they might need a double wash. 3. Check your pockets You would be surprised by the things we find in unchecked pockets! From a simple embroidery hanky to objects a bit more embarrassing, please be aware that anything left in pockets will not be saved for you. Leaving items such as pens and tissues can also damage the machine if not taken out before hand, delaying the cleaning process so please remove items and check pockets before leaving your clothes with us. 4. Highlight any stains that require special attention If you want particular attention taken on cuffs, collars or even a particular stain then let us know when you arrive with your cleaning. We try our best to get rid of any stain we see, but just on the off chance we miss the stain you are worried of, please notify us when booking in your clothes. 5. Leave plenty of time for tricky stains Stains such as blood, varnish & paint are harder to remove than everyday food and sweat stains, so please allow extra time to ensure your clothes are fully cleaned. 6. Let us know of any damage before hand If your garment needs repairing, please let us know when you bring it in for cleaning. We don't as a rule repair garments if not asked by the customer. If your hem is undone or the seam is loose we will not automatically stitch it for you if you have booked just cleaning. Please let us know before hand if you would like a stitch as well as cleaning. 7. Have a date in mind for pick up You've just booked your clothing - hurray! Now think of a time and date to collect. We are open Monday-Saturday 8am-6pm every week (closed for bank holidays) We hope you enjoyed our top tips and found value in our advice. Please leave a comment bellow and let us know what you think of our new blog!

What is dry cleaning?

by Sabrina Noman • 26 March 2018

We often get tons of questions from curious customers asking about the process of dry cleaning, or what makes the "dry" in dry cleaning. Contrary to popular belief, the clothes actually get wet in the process! Dry cleaning is a process that uses solvents, instead of water, to clean clothes. What makes it "dry"? You may have heard of the term "wet cleaning" which is essentially a cleaning process that uses water to clean clothes, similar to laundry. Any other process that doesn't use water to clean is referred to as "dry cleaning". When to dry clean? As often as you like. We recommend bringing your garments in from once a week to once a month to keep them fresh and crisp. If you have a particular tricky stain, or an old stain, it may take several attempts of cleaning, which in turn, may damage the garment if over cleaning occurs. To avoid this we recommend coming in often. What to dry clean? We can dry clean delicates such as silks, linen and chiffon, but we can also dry clean jeans, shirts and t-shirts that have hard to remove stains. The stains include: paint, blood, makeup, sweat, turmeric, spices, tomato, mud and grass, glue, wax, petrol/ diesel. What else does dry cleaning do? Dry cleaning can also keep the colour of your clothes which may fade when washing or wet cleaning. It removes stains better than water and detergent, and it leaves your clothes fresh and crisp. Your whites come out whiter, and your darks stay dark! Wet cleaning could shrink clothes but with dry cleaning there is no fear of this! If you have a garment that might need dry cleaning, or if you're not sure whether dry cleaning can remove your hard stain then call us and we can discuss what we can do for you.
