What can the dry cleaning process do? What is the extent of its cleaning abilities?
Since we now know that the dry cleaning process involves many steps, we’ll address the “cleaning” process first. Dry cleaning removes body and food oils, wax, and most things that contain oil. Water-based stains such as soda, coffee, alcohol and perspiration require extra spotting prior to dry cleaning, which is why it’s so important to select a cleaner with great technical skills. Leading Cleaners affiliates specialize in designer & couture clothing, so they know how to best remove water-based stains. Stains such as paint, ink, curry and superglue, as well as stains that have aged may not be completely removed. The second part of the “process” is the finishing. A quality cleaner can “finish” a garment without incurring shine, fabric and button impressions, crooked pleats and such. A garment can be expertly cleaned but, if the finishing is sub par, the garment can look cheap and the longevity can be compromised.
