Dry Cleaning Services

The dry cleaning process is a specialized method of cleaning garments and textiles using non-water-based solvents. Here’s an overview of how the dry cleaning process typically works:

Garment Inspection: Each garment is carefully inspected by experts for stains, fabric type, and any special care instructions. This helps the dry cleaner determine the best cleaning method and identify any areas that may require special attention.
Pre-Treatment: Stubborn stains and spots are pre-treated with specialized stain removal agents to help loosen and lift the stains before the garment is cleaned.
Machine Cleaning: The garments are placed in a dry cleaning machine, which looks similar to a large washing machine but uses solvent instead of water. The machine agitates the garments gently to help loosen dirt and grime.
Cleaning Solvent: The dry cleaning solvent, typically a petroleum-based or silicone-based fluid, is circulated through the machine and effectively cleans the garments by dissolving oils, greases, and other stains.
Rinsing: After the cleaning cycle is complete, the solvent is drained from the machine, and a fresh solvent rinse is circulated through the garments to ensure that any remaining soil and detergent residue are removed.
Drying: The garments are then dried using warm air in the machine, which helps evaporate any remaining solvent and moisture from the fabric.
Finishing: Once dry, the garments are carefully pressed and finished using steam or heat to restore their shape and appearance. Any necessary repairs or alterations may also be performed at this stage.
Final Inspection: Finally, each garment undergoes a final inspection to ensure that it meets the dry cleaner’s quality standards. Any remaining stains or imperfections are addressed before the garment is packaged and ready for pickup or delivery.

Overall, the dry cleaning process is a gentle and effective method of cleaning delicate fabrics and garments that cannot be safely cleaned using traditional washing methods. It allows for thorough cleaning without the risk of shrinking, fading, or damaging the fabric, making it an ideal choice for specialty garments and items with intricate detailing

Factors Determining the Cleaning Method

Four major factors determine whether a garment is cleaned in water or solvent:

The types of soil present
The fibre composition and garment construction
The dye present in the fabric
The nature of the various trims, linings, or other findings that may be used in the garment.

Many factors determine whether a dry cleaning or a wet cleaning process is compatible with a particular garment or textile article. Your professional cleaner, therefore, must use his or her professional judgment to determine which process will best restore the garment to a like “new” condition.
