Dry Cleaning

What is Dry Cleaning?

Dry Cleaning is a process of cleaning clothes with a dry organic solvent instead of water. Dry cleaning has two distinct advantages over cleaning with water or “wet” cleaning: Water swells the fibres. It is this swelling action which causes shrinkage and dye fading in many garments. Dry cleaning solvents are much more superior to water in the removal of oily or greasy residues which are the base component of many stains.

Why use Dry Cleaning?

Dry Cleaning protects your garments colour, brightness and softness as well as being gentler than other cleaning methods. Dry cleaning is necessary to protect fabrics that would be damaged by the heat or water of your traditional washer and dryer and to remove stains that are not removed by a “wet” cleaning process, such as grease and oil Dry cleaning is needed to clean clothes or fabrics that can be damaged if treated with water such as suits, coats, duvets, wool sweaters, Dry cleaning should also be used for all the delicate fabrics such as cashmere, velvet or silk.
