Pillow Cleaning & Restoration

Have you ever heard of pillow restoration?  It is a really cool process that I want to share with you because it helps our environment, makes for a healthier home for our customer and costs significantly less than purchasing a new pillow.

You know that it is time to restore your pillow if either the ticking has become irreparably stained or it has become flat and less resilient.  Instead of throwing it away, let Medlin-Davis restore it for you.

What we do is simply remove the ticking and expose the feathers to ultra violet light to clean and deodorize them while removing dust, (a significant source of allergens), that has accumulated through the feather’s natural degradation.  We then blow your newly cleaned and sanitized feathers into brand new ticking, giving you a new pillow for a fraction of the cost.  If your pillow isn’t feeling as full as you would like it, we can provide you with additional feathers.  Just let us know. We can handle all sizes from standard to king.

    To remove lipstick from dark fabrics, grab a piece of white bread and remove the crust. You don't have to forgo a sandwich; you can use the heel of the loaf -- no one likes that piece anyway. Wad up the soft center and rub it gently on the stain until it picks up all of the lipstick. Sweep away any leftover crumbs with a clean, soft-bristled brush.

    Whether it's on work shirts or Sunday best, staining around the collar can be easily vanquished with a touch of something you're pretty much guaranteed to have in the house -- shampoo. Just pour a little shampoo -- any shampoo will do, even the inexpensive, generic kind -- onto the collar, rub the collar together to work the shampoo in well, and rinse thoroughly. Then launder as usual.

    Mistakes we can make Mistake 1: Rubbing stains furiously; This can make the stain worse and possibly wear away the fabric. Instead, be gentle and methodical. Treat the stain as soon as you can; the less time that elapses, the more success you'll have. And always use a white cloth so that colors can't transfer. Dab, rather than rub, working from the outside in to keep the stain contained.

    Removing paint from children's clothes:- Most paints children end up playing with are water soluble and will easily come out in regular washing. The acrylics and other types of paints are better left to professional cleaners who can get the garments clean and flush out all of the stain removal chemicals used to achieve that end. Any residual stain removal chemicals can harm your child’s skin, so it’s best to leave that kind of work to the pros - us.
