Inside Sudsies Quality Control: What Actually Happens to Your Clothes

At Sudsies, quality control is a full journey, not a quick final check. This article walks through what happens after drop-off: detailed intake inspections, expert stain identification and targeted pre-treatment, fabric-specific cleaning methods, and skilled finishing that restores proper structure and drape. It then breaks down the second-round quality check where garments are re-inspected under bright lighting, stains are re-treated, and small repairs like buttons or weak seams are handled before you ever see them. Finally, it covers protective packaging so items arrive organized, pristine, and ready to wear.
