Davis Imperial Cleaners

Granted, most of us don’t have too many couture gowns in need of special handling, which is just one of Davis Imperial’s areas of expertise. But when you spill red wine on your white slipcover or that dress you just blew your monthly grocery budget on, it’s time to take advantage of the family-owned company’s 52 years of experience. Each piece is individually inspected right away to determine the best method of cleaning with regard to the type of stain and fabric and the age of the garment. Afterward items are hand ironed, inside and out—your stuff will probably look better than it did before you almost ruined it.
