How to protect your wedding dress from dirt

It can get dirty on the way to the registry office, while being on the street (especially during such a part of the wedding as a walk through memorable places with a sightseeing-Instagram purpose) and, of course, during a banquet. In this article, we will talk about how to clean a wedding dress from dirt and how to protect it without special treatment.

So how to protect your wedding dress from dirt?

• The hem of the dress gets dirty most frequently. If you're not sure you'll be able to protect it as you travel between locations, both outdoors and indoors, consider choosing a short dress in a first place. Of course, there are a minority of such models, because the dress becomes lush precisely because of the long hem. But you can also plan a wedding in such a way, that you won't have to stay outside during this day at all, or choose a warm season of the year for your wedding, if possible. On the other hand, it's so simple - to arrange a photo shoot in a beautiful place indoors!
• Buy a spray to give the fabric water-repellent and dirt-repellent properties. Such sprays are not cheap (if they are made in Europe, not China), and are not suitable for all fabrics. But if you impregnate the fabric with such a substance, you will completely forget to worry about dust and dirt on the dress. Attention! Be sure to pre-test the spray effect on a small invisible area of the fabric in order to avoid trouble!
• Hold the hem with your hands while walking (by the inner petticoat hoop or just by the fabric), lifting it above the ground.
• Let the long train flow on the floor only at the ceremony of pronouncing oaths in the church/registry office, but in other cases, unfasten it or wear it folded on a clasp or a loop.
• For cold or rainy weather, consider an umbrella with a large diameter.
• Try to eat and drink carefully at the festive table, covering the maximum area of ​​possible contact with napkins, preferably made of dense fabric.

How to clean a dress from dirt at home

If you can't avoid getting dirty, here are a couple of good cleaning tips:

1. If you are not at home yet, because the celebration is not over, most stains can be quickly cleaned with wet wipes, as well as wipes/towels heavily moistened with medical alcohol or vodka.
2. During inclement weather with snow and rain, the dress can be protected with a cape/jacket, which should be easy to take off.
3. When you get home, wash your garment by hand or in the washing machine on the gentlest setting without spinning.
