Ever wondered the what could be the difference between dry-cleaning and laundry?

Here is the answer-

 

1. Dry cleaning process uses a chemical solvent to rinse the garments. It is called ‘dry’ cleaning because water is not used in the cleaning process. The traditional wet laundering method involves the immersion of your clothes in water. 

 

2. Dry cleaning process is done using the chemical perchloroethylene to remove stains and grease from clothing. 

Laundry cleaning uses cleaning agents like soaps, detergents or softeners along with water to remove dirt from clothing. 

 

Advantages of Dry-Cleaning:

 

* Effectively removes grease and tough to remove oil stains. 

* Shrinkage and distortion of the fabric can be reduced

* Discoloration and color bleeding will be reduced

* The fabric texture can be retained same as the original one

* Protects texture and increases the lifespan of clothes.

* We’ve started using started to use bio-degradable chemicals which are not harmful to the environment. These chemicals/solvents do not produce odor and clothes smell fresher and feel better.

Advantages of Laundry Cleaning

 

* It is also called as wet cleaning as water is used in the process

It is much cheaper as the solvent used is water and detergent or softener, and these give a freshness to your clothes.

* Wet laundering is energy efficient; it consumes 50% less energy than the energy used for dry cleaning.

* Usage of chemicals is reduced in the laundry process
