Believe it or not, dry cleaning is in fact, a completely dry process of cleaning clothes.  Dry cleaning is a process of cleaning laundry without water.  All garments are immersed and cleaned in a liquid solvent but there is no water used in the process.  How does dry cleaning work?

Step 1

Garments are tagged and inspected by our professionals to avoid mix-ups during the cleaning process.  Clothing is also inspected for stains or tears.  If clothing items have major stains, they will be given a pretreatment that will eliminate the stains during the actual cleaning process.

Step 2

Next, clothes are placed into a machine that drops small quantities of solvent and goes through a high-speed cycle.  The solvent is absorbed and pulls dirt from the clothing’s fibers.  This is then followed by another high-speed cycle that distributes hot air into the machine and dries any excess moisture.

Step 3 

Pick up your clothes and enjoy the cleanest clothes possible!  Compared to traditional washing machines, dry cleaning does less damage to your clothes.  Not only do they remain soft and fresh, but they also ensure colors stay intact.
