Question

What are the advantages of dry cleaning method over wet cleaning?

Answer in Brief

Solution

  1. Preserves delicate fabrics: Dry cleaning is gentler on textiles susceptible to water damage, such as silk, wool, and lace.
  2. Prevents shrinkage: Dry cleaning, unlike wet cleaning, does not shrink materials, allowing them to retain their original size and shape.
  3. Removes oil-based stains: Dry cleaning solutions are good at removing grease and oil-based stains that are difficult to remove with water.
  4. Maintains texture and colour: Dry cleaning preserves the texture and colour of fabrics, particularly those with elaborate designs or dyes.
  5. Less wear and tear: The procedure is less abrasive than wet cleaning, resulting in less wear and tear on garments, particularly those with fine stitching or embellishments.
