behind the scenes: a look at the dry cleaning process and how it works
Dry cleaning is a process of cleaning clothes and other fabrics using solvents and chemicals instead of water. This method of cleaning is preferred for delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rigors of washing with water. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the dry cleaning process and how it works.
Step 1: Inspection & Tagging
The first step in the dry cleaning process is the inspection and tagging of the clothes. The clothes are first checked for any stains, marks or tears. A tag is then applied to the clothes stating the type of fabric and any specific cleaning instructions.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment
After the clothes have been inspected, they are pre-treated for stains using specialized solvents and chemicals. The pre-treatment process helps to loosen and remove any stains and dirt that may be present on the fabric.
Step 3: Dry Cleaning
The actual dry cleaning process involves placing the pre-treated clothes in a machine. While the machine may look similar to a washing machine, instead of using water, it uses a cleaning solvent, such as perchloroethylene (commonly referred to as perc), to clean the clothes. The machine agitates the clothes in the solvent, which helps to remove any dirt, stains, or odors.
Step 4: Post-Cleaning Treatment
Once the cleaning process is complete, the clothes are inspected to ensure that they are properly cleaned. Any remaining stains are treated again, and the clothes are pressed to remove any wrinkles.
Step 5: Finishing
The final step in the dry cleaning process is finishing. This step involves adding any necessary buttons or zippers, and folding or hanging the clothes as per the customer’s preferences. The clothes are then packaged and ready for pick-up or delivery.
In conclusion, dry cleaning is a complex process that involves the use of specialized equipment and solvents. The process ensures that delicate fabrics are cleaned thoroughly, without causing any damage or shrinkage. By understanding the dry cleaning process, you can make informed decisions about how to care for your clothes and ensure that they are properly cleaned and maintained.
