Third Ward Garment Care in Houston's Heat
Houston's summers are intense, and Third Ward's heat and humidity require extra attention to garment care:
- Perspiration stains — act quickly. Fresh stains on dress shirts are far easier to treat than set-in ones.
- Linen and cotton care — breathable summer fabrics still need professional cleaning to maintain their structure.
- Formal wear between events — store clean garments in breathable garment bags to prevent mustiness in Houston's humid air.
