Selected Lux because I read they are proficient at repairs for technical fabrics. The team evaluated the damaged zipper and confirmed they could replace the hardware without needing to replace the entire stylized zipper. Which saved our puffy hiking jacket. The other cleaners I visited were not willing to do this…

Selected Lux because I read they are proficient at repairs for technical fabrics. The team evaluated the damaged zipper and confirmed they could replace the hardware without needing to replace the entire stylized zipper. Which saved our puffy hiking jacket. The other cleaners I visited were not willing to do this work. I was quoted 3 days and the repair was complete in 2. The care and repair exceeded my expectations. I’m grateful that this small, but very big deal repair extended the life of the jacket. I appreciate the community mindedness of the owners, a sign in the window noting support for unemployed job seekers in cleaning interview wear. This service speaks to the good natured humankind was of the owners. Happy to be a new customer here!
