Welcome to All about Dry Cleaning. We will try to de-mystify dry cleaning, and explain how it works, and why some clothes should be dry cleaned. We will also be happy to try to answer any questions you have regarding your clothing, and the inevitable spots and stains you get.
Today we will cover the most basic question, and the one we get asked the most. What is Dry Cleaning, and how is it different from washing?
At it's most basic, dry cleaning simply means cleaning clothing in any method besides water. Water is absorbed by most fabrics, but dry cleaning solvent for the most part, passes through the clothing. Instead of washing the clothing in the same water for several minutes, and then rinsing it in even more water, dry cleaning uses a different process.
In dry cleaning we continually filter the solvent through special filters and back into the machine. In fact, up to six times a minute! This combined with a mild detergent specially formulated for clothing and mechanical action, removes most of the soils and dirt from your clothing.
This constant filtering, and soft agitation allows your clothing to be cleaned without damaging the dye's, fabrics, and even ornamental parts like beads and sequins!
Therefore, the life of your clothing is extended, and your clothing stays clean and well finished.
Next time, we will discuss the various forms of dry cleaning.
