DRY-CLEANING

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically (perchloroethylene). It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer.

Understanting dry cleaning Process for  Suits  & Jackets.

The objective is to clean and restore garments to a condition so they look new. Our processes can be divided into two basic steps: soil removal and finishing.

Soil removal is generally accomplished by immersing your suits and jackets in a solvent to dissolve or flush-out the soil and grease present. While the suits are immersed, the solvent does not penetrate the fibers of the fabric, thereby avoiding the possible swelling and shrinking that can occur with water saturation.

Finishing processes used can vary, depending on the garments being processed, but generally involve steaming and pressing. Steam is used to relax wrinkled fibers. After steaming, the fibers are pressed and cooled to keep them in place. Pressing is the most important step, requiring considerable skill and training.
