If you have ever looked on the internet for wax jacket cleaning you will have seen countless forum discussions about not washing or dry cleaning. This is because re-waxing and reproofing is a specialist job since a wax jacket cannot be dry cleaned in the normal way, and washing with detergents will ruin the wax and proofing.
Due to the nature of these items, wax jacket treatment should only be undertaken by a specialist.
We take care in cleaning your wax jackets to the highest standards before beginning the re-waxing service, which is entirely applied by hand.

We offer you a Re-waxing service that is both fast and reliable. As standard each item is inspected individually and a decision is then made on how to process each item and to choose the most appropriate cleaning methods for your garments.
Our wax jacket care process is tailored to waxed cotton garments, focusing on protection, longevity, and performance:
Initial Assessment – Each jacket is checked for fabric condition, worn areas, and existing wax levels before cleaning begins.
Wax-Safe Cleaning – Dirt, grease, and odours are carefully removed using methods designed to clean the cotton base fabric without damaging seams, linings, or finishes.
Natural Drying – Jackets are dried slowly and naturally to maintain shape and prevent shrinkage or distortion.
Ready for Reproofing – Once clean, your jacket is fully prepared for professional reproofing to restore water resistance and appearance.
Quotes are available for both local collection and nationwide mail-order customers.
Most wax jackets only need cleaning every 1–2 years, or when they become heavily soiled or develop strong odours. Over-cleaning can reduce the life of the waxed fabric.

Just used for the first time for our winter duvet. Booked online, they collected the next day, dry cleaned it and delivered it back within a few days, absolutely brilliant service!
Excellent dry cleaners. Really helpful and managed to get my suits looking like new. Previous Timpson had done a poor job and I thought the collar marks might be stained. Won't be using Timpson again, now I've found Stony Dry Cleaners.
Great dry cleaners for alterations and cleaning a friendly service, reasonable price and quick turn around. I wouldn’t go anyone else for an honest helpful service thank you 😊
Can't praise them enough love my freshly ironed bedding best thing I ever did getting Stoney Cleaners to do this for me
I recently used this dry cleaning service and was very impressed with the overall experience. From the moment I dropped off my items, the staff was courteous, efficient, and attentive to my requests. Everything was completed exactly as promised, and my clothes were ready on time without any delays. The garments came back perfectly cleaned, pressed, and handled with great care, showing clear attention to detail and professionalism. It is rare to find a service that consistently delivers quality and reliability, but this one truly stands out. I would not hesitate to recommend this dry cleaner to anyone seeking dependable, hassle-free service.
Use Stony Dry Cleaners for all my bedding washes. Always clean and reasonably priced
We use their collection and delivery service regularly for ironing. Fantastic service and very quick turnaround. I would definitely recommend them. The only thing that could be improved is the way they communicate with the customer.

Asked for my alteration to be ready Friday after handing in on Monday. Also asked to keep the off-cuts. I was told they always give back any off-cuts and they would ring when it was ready. No phone call Friday or following Monday so I called. Yes it was ready. I wrnt to collect it. No off-cut. They said the instruction was not passed on. Not happy and will not use again
Excellent service - very pleased with result for our large lined curtains. Reasonably priced as well.
