What Really Is Dry Cleaning? Is it Worth it? Dry Cleaning Services in D.C., MD, and Va

So What is Dry Cleaning Really?

You’ve seen it on many a garment tag, “Dry Clean Only.” If you’re like most people, you’ve probably tested and maybe even found the limits of that warning. School uniforms, professional attire such as suits, formal wear, bedding, and other delicate/intricate fabrics all recommend this type of cleaning, but what really is Dry Cleaning?

Despite its name, Dry Cleaning uses liquids other than water to clean clothes, bedding, upholstery and other types of fabrics. Water can damage certain fabrics — such as wool, leather and silk — and a washing machine can wreak havoc on buttons, lace, sequins and other delicate decorations. Dry Cleaning can instead preserve your items by delicately removing dirt, stains, wrinkles, and more.
