Abaya Cleaning

Flowing fabrics, finished beautifully

Abayas are made from fine, flowing fabrics such as crepe, nida and chiffon, often with embroidery, lace or beading that needs careful handling. We inspect each abaya, clean it according to its label and press it so it hangs properly. Tell us about any marks, and we will advise on the best approach.
