When you are offering Press Only (or “Steam & Press”) services, it’s helpful to categorize them by garment type. This service is perfect for clients who have clean clothes that are wrinkled from travel, storage, or home washing, but don’t need a full dry cleaning.
Here is a professional list you can add to your website or service menu:

Our Pressing Process
- Inspection: We check for heat-sensitive buttons and delicate fibers.
- Fabric-Specific Heat: We use adjustable-temperature irons and industrial steamers to ensure no “shine” or scorch marks.
- Cool-Down: Garments are hung immediately in a temperature-controlled area to set the shape.
- Packaging: All items are returned on hangers with protective poly-covers to ensure they stay crisp until you wear them.
