Dry Cleaning Procedure

Dry cleaning is any cleaning procedure for garments and fabrics utilizing a solvent other than water. The modern dry cleaning procedure was developed and improved by Thomas L. Jennings. Many ordinary fibres can be washed in plain water. However, some synthetics (e.g., viscose, lyocell, and modal) respond poorly with drinking water and must be used appropriately.

Once you drop off your clothes at the cleaners, the employees follow a pattern which holds true in almost any dry-cleaning operation running today. Your garments undergo the following steps:

1. Tagging and inspection - While it's smaller paper tags or little tags written onto a shirt, a few process is traditionally utilized to identify your clothes so that they don't get blended with everyone else's. Clothes may also be examined for lost buttons, tears, etc., the dry cleaner could get blamed for otherwise.
2. Pre-treatment - The dry cleaner looks for stains on clothes and treats them to make removal easier.
3. Dry cleaning - With a solvent, the clothes are put in a machine and cleaned.
4. Post-spotting - Any lingering stains are removed.
5. Finishing - This finishing includes pressing, folding, packaging and other finishing touches.
