Dry Cleaning or Washing – Consider the Better Approach for Clothes

We now have a variety of clothes in our wardrobe, and not all are of the same material and type. Our clothes are generally synthetic, cotton, woollen, fibre, and natural. And each cloth requires a different treatment. We are often perplexed by the type of clothes and the washing required, boiling down to its material and choice. Your dry cleaners in London examine the type of cloth and then suggest the requisite dry-cleaning method.

Dry cleaning has been used since the Roman days when people used ammonia to clean woollen clothes. These clothes would shrink when they are exposed to hot water. People would also use Petroleum-based solvents like kerosene and gasoline for dry cleaning, and these solvents are flammable, which people would discontinue for safety concerns. In the 1930s, commercial cleaners used perchloroethylene, also known as perc, for dry cleaning. However, now dry cleaners are using eco-friendly products for cleaning clothes.

Many people would wash their cloth in the washing machine, and while this is okay, many clothes are so delicate that they can get spoiled in the washing machine. No doubt, hand washing is very gentle on the clothing and is as effective as washing in the machine.
