I guess the best place to start my blog should be at the beginning. What the heck happens then you leave your stuff off at the dry cleaners? How does it get clean?
It’s not magic and it’s really not a “dry” process. Your clothes are cleaned in a machine which looks like a huge front loading washing machine. The main difference, other than the size, is that water is not used to clean. In place of the water is a liquid cleaning solution (hence the dry, in dry cleaning) which does a great job of removing greases and oils but a terrible job of removing food stains.
Your clothes go into the machine dry, go through a “wash” cycle where detergents and conditioners are added, an extraction cycle and then a dry cycle. Because your clothes are cleaned in a cleaning solution the machine cannot be opened until all of the solution has been removed from your clothes.
Dry cleaning isn’t mysterious and almost anyone can open a dry cleaners. What seperates the true professionals from everyone else is all of the other steps that need to be taken in order to care for your garments correclty.
Fashion is not black & white and every black dress cannot be cleaned the same way. Stay tuned, and thanks for listening.
