Your professional cleaner, therefore, must use his or her professional judgment to determine which process will best restore the garment to a like "new" condition.

Member Login. What is drycleaning? Create new account Request new password. Garments such as suits, slacks, blouses, and others that are made of silk, wool, and polyester can't be cleaned in the traditional manner using soap and water because it penetrates and damages the garment fibers. Dry cleaning, on the other hand, cleans using a solvent that does not harm the fibers.
Most dry cleaning solvents are hydrocarbon or silicon-based, which are the new standard for dry cleaning today. These solvents are safe for the environment and safe for the garments. When garments are brought into the dry cleaners, they are first inbounded and inspected.
During this process, garments are entered into our system and are individually tagged to keep track of them during the dry cleaning process. This is also when garments are inspected for things that require attention prior to or during the cleaning process. Next garments are separated based on the cleaning cycle and method. During the separation process, garments are also pre-treated for stains. This process consists of using special stain treating methods that safely loosen up and remove stains prior to being dry cleaned.
Once ready to be cleaned, garments are loaded into a dry cleaning machine to be cleaned. The machine cleans soiled garments using the dry cleaning solvent in a pressure controlled environment. The solvent cleans the garments by removing dirt from the fibers, and do so without harming, altering, or discoloring garment fibers. This ensures that garments are cleaned while retaining the quality of the garments.
The dry cleaning machine then goes through the final dry cycle by circulating warm air through the clothes. The stains are treated with steam, water, or even a vacuum to remove any remaining traces. The final step includes getting the garment ready to wear.
This includes steaming or pressing out wrinkles, reattaching buttons, or making repairs. Items are then hung or folded to return to the customer. The plastic bags provided are only there to help you get your clothes home without more stains.
It's important to take them off right away or risk damage to your clothes from trapped moisture. This one may seem obvious, but plenty of people pay no attention to the labels in their clothing, or even worse, tear them out completely. Your dry cleaner should always reference the labels before cleaning but you should be the first to call attention to any special care instructions or unique fabrics to ensure proper cleaning.
When we spill something on our clothes or notice a stain, it is tempting to try to remove the stain ourselves. Avoid this temptation and get it right to your dry cleaner instead.
You are much more likely to make it worse by pushing the oil, dye, or food deeper into the fabric, making it even more difficult or even impossible to remove. Always be sure to point out and identify stains so they can be properly marked and pre-treated during the cleaning. Some garments have delicate buttons or embellishments that require special care. Since you will probably deal with a desk clerk that doesn't do the actual cleaning, point them out and ask if they can be protected or removed during cleaning.
Ask if the items will be reattached as part of the service. Always be sure to highlight any stains, delicate fabrics or embellishments at the time of drop off. Do not leave it to chance or simply assume all will be well during the dry cleaning process. Establishing a dialogue with your cleaner will give much better results that you and your clothes will appreciate. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
