What does dry cleaning mean?

Dry cleaning means washing clothes without water. It only uses solvents to remove oil stains. Because there is almost no water in the solvent, it is called dry cleaning.

For example, plush clothes need dry cleaning. If washed, it is easy to lose hair and shrink. If the plush clothes fall off, it will affect the appearance. And clothes like woolen cloth, such as sweaters, are easy to deform after washing, such as easy to stretch and shorten.

In addition, do not wash clothes that are easy to fade, because washing is easy to cause fading and affect wearing. Generally, more expensive suits, coats, silk cotton-padded jackets, cheongsam, ties, furs, suede, etc. ) and all kinds of high-end fashion should be dry-cleaned and washed. It's best to send it to a regular dry cleaner.

Clothes suitable for hand washing are generally easy to deform, such as knitted clothes, knitted fabric clothes, sweaters and so on. ? Because hand washing can be gentle, the external force on clothes is small, and deformation can be avoided. In addition, women's underwear is hand-washed. )

Some stains on clothes can be removed by finding some remedies or detergents like BaSi, instead of professional laundry service.

For some invisible bacteria (such as germs, caterpillars, spores and parasites) in clothes, it is difficult to remove them without professional laundry, and dry cleaning can solve this problem.

Although dry cleaning has many benefits, it is not everything. Some fabrics are forbidden to dry clean. Here are some examples:

The first type: clothes coated with chemical fiber are not suitable for dry cleaning, because high temperature and organic solution may harden the layer and make it impossible to wear after dry cleaning.

The second type: down jacket. Dry cleaning of down jackets may lead to degreasing of down jackets, so it is more scientific to use special detergent for down jackets.

The third kind: clothes with many beads or buttons. Because beads or buttons may be deformed under the action of solvents, general dry cleaners will choose buttons and other special protection when doing dry cleaning.
