How to Prep Your Summer Wardrobe for the Hamptons: A Local Dry Cleaning Checklist

Summer in the Hamptons calls for linen shirts, flowing dresses, and crisp white pants. But before you dive into your seasonal closet, give your wardrobe a proper refresh. Here's your dry cleaning checklist to get everything ready.

1. Sort Before You Store or Wear

Check for stains, dust, or musty smells—especially if you're pulling clothes out of storage. Delicate fabrics like linen and silk absorb odors easily and may need a refresh.

2. Dry Clean Delicate Summer Staples

Lightweight fabrics like cotton voile, linen, and silk respond best to professional cleaning. DIY washing can lead to shrinking, fading, or misshaping garments.

3. Don’t Forget Outerwear

Even light jackets and sweaters collect sweat, sunscreen, and everyday grime. A quick dry clean helps extend their life and keeps them fresh for cool evenings.

4. Prep in Bulk to Save Time
