Many Types of Clothes Don't handle Dry Cleaning Very Well

There are many types of clothes that don’t need to be dry cleaned, such as anything made with cotton, nylon, or polyester. However, garments made with luxurious fabrics such as cashmere, silk, and wool should only be dry cleaned as it preserves their color and texture. Do you have a garment with embellishments? Preserve its beauty by using a dry cleaning service. 

Using Chemical Solvents Instead of Soap and Water

As mentioned, dry cleaning uses solvents instead of soap and water to clean clothing and other dry-clean only items. When garments are taken for dry cleaning, they are first inspected for missing or loose buttons, tears, and stains. The stains are pre-treated before loading the soiled clothing into a machine and adding a water-free solvent. The clothes gently agitate in the solution, causing dirt to loosen. When finished, a spot check is done again, and the clothing steam-ironed or pressed. Hometown Cleaners has an alteration service that will repair tears and replace buttons.
