Dry Cleaning

Dry cleaning is a professional cleaning process for clothes and textiles that use a solvent other than water to clean garments. It's particularly useful for fabrics that are delicate, prone to shrinkage, or sensitive to water.

1. Garment Inspection:

   • The first step is to inspect the garment for stains, damage, or special care instructions.
   • Stains are usually pre-treated before the dry cleaning process begins.

2. Pre-Spotting and Pre-Treatment:

   • Stains and spots are treated with specialized cleaning agents to help break down and remove them.
   • This step ensures that stubborn stains are targeted for effective removal.

3. Dry Cleaning Machine:

   • Garments are placed in a dry cleaning machine, which resembles a large washing machine.
   • The machine uses a solvent (commonly perchloroethylene or "perc") instead of water for cleaning.

4. Cleaning Cycle:

   • The machine agitates the garments in the solvent, which helps to lift dirt, oils, and stains.
   • The solvent is then drained, filtered, and recycled for reuse.
