Houston Climate and West U Garment Care

West U's tree canopy is gorgeous, but Houston's subtropical climate — hot, humid summers with occasional flash flooding — creates real challenges for high-quality clothing. Here's what we recommend to West U customers:

Rotate and clean regularly: In Houston, suits worn even once in summer heat should be cleaned before storage. Perspiration salts and body oils accelerate fabric breakdown and cause yellowing — especially in light-colored wool and silk blends. We treat perspiration stains before they set.

Protect cashmere between seasons: Houston doesn't have cold winters, but cashmere season still comes. Before storing sweaters from March to November, have them professionally cleaned. Oils attract moths and cause fabric degradation during long storage.

Linen care: West U residents love linen — it's a natural choice for Houston's heat. Linen wrinkles beautifully but washes poorly at home. We clean and press linen garments to restore their fresh, resort-chic appearance.

University-adjacent stains: Whether it's ink, food, or chalk on faculty robes, or wine at a West U dinner party, bring it to us promptly. The faster we treat a stain, the better the result.
