Dry Cleaning Explained
The Basics
What is Dry Cleaning?
Dry cleaning is a cleaning process for clothing and textiles that uses a chemical solvent rather than water. Unlike traditional laundry that can shrink, stretch, or damage delicate fabrics, dry cleaning gently cleans and preserves the integrity of garments. This method is especially effective for removing oil-based stains and maintaining the quality of fabrics like silk, wool, and rayon. By using advanced, eco-friendly solvents, dry cleaning provides a thorough clean while being gentle on your clothes and the environment.
The Process
Inspection & Tagging
Each garment is carefully inspected for stains, damage, and specific cleaning instructions. Tags are attached to ensure garments are tracked and returned to the correct customer.
Post-Spotting
After the main cleaning cycle, any remaining stains are addressed with specialized techniques and equipment to ensure thorough removal. This includes targeted stain removal agents for persistent spots.

Pre-Spotting
Stains and spots are pre-treated with specialized solutions tailored to the type of stain and fabric, preparing them for effective removal during the cleaning process.
Pressing & Finishing
Cleaned garments are pressed to remove wrinkles and restore their original shape. Finishing touches, such as replacing buttons or making minor repairs, are also completed to ensure the garment looks its best.
Cleaning
Garments are loaded into a dry cleaning machine, where they are gently agitated in a solvent that dissolves oils, grease, and dirt. This step cleans the garment without using water.
Final Inspection & Packaging
Each garment undergoes a final inspection to ensure all stains are removed and repairs are made. Garments are then packaged carefully to maintain their cleaned and pressed condition until their are returned to the customer.
