| Dry Cleaning Dry Cleaning, in definition is to clean (clothing or fabrics) with chemical solvents that have little or no water. During this process, it uses PERC or commonly referred to as perchlorethylene. This solvent has been the recommended cleaner for almost any type of the fabrics. However, it is said that PERC is a harzardous chemical solvent. Thus, when you have collected your clothes, dry cleaning customers should air their garments after removing it out from the plastic bags.
Wet Cleaning Wet Cleaning, by definition is to immerse the garment in water instead of the chemical solvent. However, customer should beware that wet cleaner's machinery can cause some shrinkage to your garment. Thus, some technicians would choose from several methods of drying to monitor the moisture content of garments so as to limit shrinkage.
Why Clothes shrink? Most people thought that water caused the clothes to shrink. However, water is not the sole reason for causing clothes to shrink. In fact, it is the combination from the repetitive action of the cleaning machine, the high temperature and water that causes the fibers to contract. Excessive drying can also shrink clothes. Fortunately, with the modern water based washing, shrinking can be reduced too.
