Special fluids & solvents are used in a dry cleaning machine to remove soil & stains from fabric. It is called “dry cleaning” because the fluid contains little or no water & does not penetrate the fibers in the way water does. Advantages include the ability to dissolve greases & oils in a way that soap & water cannot. Natural fibers, such as wool, dry clean beautifully, but when washed in water, can shrink & distort. Silks are generally more color & finish stable when dry-cleaned, although one must be very knowledgeable to properly spot clean these garments. Synthetic fibers such as polyester also respond well to dry cleaning, as oily spots will come out easily. Proper dry cleaning helps to return your garments to a 'like-new' condition. Professional dry cleaning involves many different operations; all performed by skilled people, & designed to give your garments a fresh, clean appearance. Our staff is highly trained in their area of expertise to properly identify, clean and/or finish all garments, & to exercise a number of special procedures when handling your items
