We Carefully Work on Your Clothes

Want it to Fit?

It wasn't that long ago when most retail stores offered in-house tailoring services. But, they don't seem to do that much anymore. And we all know that clothes that look like they fit right, make us feel good. So, bring in your new purchases to us. Fix the pants length, put a dart or two in a dress and move that button a bit to make your garments look tailor-made.

The Best for Brides

We do a lot of bridal dress fittings and we are especially careful of heirloom dresses that need to be fixed for the latest generation taking their wedding vows. - of course after the wedding we can care for the dresses, too.

Children, too

Our tailors can shorten, lengthen, and alter kid’s clothing. Pass down and repair worn clothing to save a few dollars!

We Can Match Your Color

Never make another trip to the cleaners.

Let us do the work.  We'll come to your home or office to pick up and return your personal dry cleaning and laundry.  The service is free and it's easy.  We have home, office and commercial accounts.  Medical wear is a specialty.  We serve Doctors' offices and labs in South Central PA and Central Maryland.

We Can Help with Stains!

Recognizing water-based stains

Water-based stains from soda, coffee, and wine usually have a ring around the outside.

Recognizing Oil-based stains

Oil-based stains from food oils, French fry grease, and mayonnaise are absorbed into the fabric and do not have a ring. These stains can be set by soap and water and usually require dry cleaning.

What to do with stains

If you identify these stains, take them to Whistlers within 48 hours or so, and then point them out to us, most of your spots will come out!

The Club Soda Myth “It works on everything”

1. Club soda can help to breakup and loosen water based stains such as soda, wine and coffee, but it can spread stains and make Whistler's job more difficult
2. Club soda, while loosening some spills, can also cause dyes to bleed and run when used on silk and other fragile fabrics – especially with deep colors such as red, black and purple
3. Do not use club soda on any oily stains (butter, mayonnaise, French fry grease), as it may “set the stain” and make future removal impossible.

Note:
When using club soda or water, never rub the as it can “rough up” the fabric and cause dulling. BLOT gently, only, and never rub!
