Madame Paulette Custom Couture Cleaner: By Appointment to Anna Wintour

 

So you know they must be good.

I first learned of this New York City company in Lizzie Widdicombe's "Talk of the Town" piece in the latest issue (July 6&13, 2009) of the New Yorker.

Turns out they also cleaned Princess Diana's dresses and are responsible for vacuuming the interior of Donald Trump's jet.

John Mahdessian, the company's owner, said, "There's two ways to remove a stain: mechanical action or chemical reaction."

Wrote Widdicombe, "For these, you need either an emergency stain-removal kit (Madame Paulette happens to sell one), or, of course, a good dry cleaner."

Here's a video explaining how the $12.50 kit works.
