Can Page Get a ______ Stain Out of My Clothes?

What can we promise with stain removal?

We can promise to use a professional process and do our best, to give you a high chance of stain removal, but we can’t promise perfect results. While we do have great success most of the time on most stains, unfortunately there are times when permanent damage has been done to a garment as a result of heavy soiling, a spill or stain. Some contaminants can permanently dye or damage the fibres of your garment, and while we might be able to improve the appearance, we may not be able to fully restore it to it’s original condition.

Other times we find that there is damage to the fibres once we’ve cleaned it and attempted stain removal, and we can’t reverse actual fibre damage. We will always do our best, and keep you informed when this is the case.

Whether a spot is removable is dependent on:

You might see an amazing video online of a stain being removed and wonder why we can’t remove the same type of stain. It could be related to any of the items below:

  • What caused the stain – some things are much more likely to have a permanent dying or damaging effect. Things that are oily or have a strong pigment are much harder to remove than neutral non-oily stains.
  • Whether the stain has set – attempts to clean the spill or spot, using the wrong products, having put it through the wash as well as the temperature of water, and how the garment was dried can all set a stain.
  • How old the stain is – newer is always easier to handle than older. Storing an unwashed garment for a long time can contribute to setting the stain and making it difficult to remove.
  • What kind of fabric the garment is made of – synthetic fabrics are more resistant to water based stains, but more likely to hold onto oil based stains. Natural materials also have different traits when it comes to holding onto a stain.

When it comes to preventing spots & spills from permanently dying or damaging a treasured piece of clothing, your best bet is to work with a professional who is equipped with the right tools, professional stain removal agents, professional techniques and lots of experience!

My clothes came back spotless, fresh, and perfectly pressed—looking brand new!The staff were professional, friendly, and incredibly detail-oriented. They handled delicate fabrics and stains with great care, and their turnaround time was impressive. Plus, their pricing was reasonable for such high-quality work.I also appreciated the convenience of their pickup and delivery service, which made the entire process effortless. Page The Cleaner and Tailor is now my go-to for all my dry cleaning and laundry needs. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and exceptional clothes cleaning services!

I've been going to Page on 111th for probably 7 years and their commitment to providing a high quality service has never wavered. Today, the team at Page went above and beyond to save my new, almost stupid-expensive winter coat from an untimely and early demise at the hands of an ill-constructed breakfast wrap. In addition to the acute care they provided me today, I've taken my dress shirts in for dry cleaning every few weeks for 5 years and they've consistently delivered on cleaning the shirts, prolonging their life, and never misplacing them. Not once has there been a mistake... Kind of wild. While I've benefited from Google reviews for so long, this may be my first ever review and it is the bare minimum of what the team at Page deserves. Thank you and I'm glad that I get to continue to benefit from the service you provide.

Amazing Service! I had dropped off my Canada Goose Parka to get cleaned and they did a great job!! Would definitely come back here and recommend to someone else looking to get their jacket cleaned. If I could give them an extra 5 stars I would! I am that pleased with the results. Thank you again!!

This is the second time Page has not delivered my garments when they were supposed to. Recently I sent in a jacket for repair, they picked up last Monday, I emailed on Friday confirming my jacket will be delivered on Monday. On Monday after waiting I emailed them to deliver to my neighbors as I could not wait. The response was there is damage, would you like it repaired. That was the reason you have it. Now I have to wait another week. Figured they would rush it for me and deliver it, but no, have to wait till next Monday. Last time using them.Updated. After being contacted. Was very happy with the the response/ resolution.

I had my light-coloured Canada Goose jacket cleaned, and it started out with some black streaks on it from rubbing against my car. They made sure that I was satisfied that all the marks were gone, and took extra care to not overwork the stained areas. They did a fantastic job.
