Dry Cleaning
Dry Cleaning
Dry cleaning is a specialized garment cleaning process that differs from traditional laundering using water. It is an effective method for cleaning delicate fabrics and clothing items that cannot be washed with water, such as wool, silk, and garments with intricate details. Dry cleaning uses a solvent (typically perchloroethylene or a greener alternative like hydrocarbon or silicone-based solvents) to remove stains and dirt from fabrics.
How Dry Cleaning Works
- Garment Inspection: When you bring your clothing to a dry cleaner, they will inspect each item for stains, tears, and any special care instructions on the care label.
- Stain Pre-treatment: Stains and spots are pre-treated with specialized solvents and detergents to help ensure their removal during the cleaning process.
- Cleaning: The garments are placed in a large drum machine along with the dry cleaning solvent. This machine agitates the clothes gently to remove dirt and stains.
- Rinsing and Drying: After the cleaning cycle, the solvent is drained, and the garments are rinsed to remove any remaining solvent. They are then dried in a separate machine.
