Cleaning Without Water

Dry cleaning uses special solvents to clean clothes and fabrics. These solvents are different from the water-based solutions used in traditional laundry machines. Instead, they are designed to remove dirt and tough stains without damaging the fabric of the clothing.

Start With Spot Cleaning

One of the first steps in dry cleaning is spot cleaning. This is when one of our professional cleaners will treat any areas on the clothing, bedding, or other items that have visible stains. Once the spot cleaning is complete, the items are then placed in a large cleaning machine.

Cleaning Process Using Solvent

The next step is to add the solvent to the specialized cleaning machine. This powerful solvent will help to break down any remaining dirt and stains on your items. After your items have been soaked in the solvent, they will be rinsed in a fresh solvent solution to remove soil remnants, and then placed in a large press.

Pressed and Steamed

The last step in the dry cleaning process is to steam your clothing or bedding. This helps to remove any wrinkles or creases that may have been caused by the cleaning process. Once the items have been steamed, they will be ready to be hung up or placed in a dresser.
