The Top 5 Things You’re Forgetting to Dry Clean

By

When most people think of dry cleaning, they picture suits, formal dresses, or delicate blouses. But the truth is, many everyday items benefit from professional care—and chances are, a few are hiding in your home or wardrobe right now.

At Mulberrys Garment Care, we go beyond the basics to help you keep all your most-used items clean, fresh, and long-lasting. With our newest location opening soon on Stanyan Street in Cole Valley, San Francisco, it’s never been easier to access top-tier garment care right in your neighborhood.

Here are five items you’re probably forgetting to dry clean—but should start soon:

1. Outerwear and Jackets (Yes, Even Lightweight Ones)
Windbreakers, denim jackets, and spring coats may not seem like dry cleaning essentials, but they collect sweat, pollution, and food residue just like heavier winter coats. Dry cleaning removes hidden grime without damaging fabric structure or shape.

Pro Tip: Especially in San Francisco’s foggy weather, dry cleaning your outer layers helps prevent musty smells and mildew.

2. Tote Bags and Backpacks
You carry them everywhere—on the train, to the gym, into restaurants—and they rarely get cleaned. Dry cleaning helps remove bacteria, stains, and odors from fabric bags while preserving their color and structure.

Bonus: This is especially useful for tech commuters in Cole Valley—give your everyday carry a refresh!

3. Drapes and Curtains
They trap dust, allergens, and smells over time, but they’re often overlooked in cleaning routines. Dry cleaning helps preserve color, prevents shrinkage, and improves air quality at home.

Ideal for: Spring cleaning or allergy season.

4. Hats and Baseball Caps
Sweat-stained brims and fabric hats need professional attention to stay crisp and hygienic. Our specialized cleaning preserves shape while removing sweat and grime buildup.

5. Decorative Pillow Covers and Throws
These pieces are high-touch but often skipped when it comes to deep cleaning. Dry cleaning keeps them looking like new—especially if you’re hosting guests or staging your home.

Coming Soon: Mulberrys in Cole Valley, San Francisco
