When you have a lot of dresses and need to look sharp, and you are thinking to dry cleaning them, wait a minute!! All types of dresses actually don’t need to be dry-cleaned!!! Regular detergent wash is enough for many clothes like shirts, regular wear, t-shirts, and many other this kind of fabrics.
Difference between Normal Wash and Dry Cleaning-
The main difference between normal laundry and dry cleaning is ‘Water’.
- Dry Cleaning: In the Dry cleaning method, nonwater solvents or liquids are used to clean clothes, rugs, blankets, or any type of bedding rather than water. Water can harm many fabrics like wool, leather, and silk type fabrics. So, normally, dry cleaning is mainly used for cleaning these types of fabrics.
- Normal Laundry: This method uses water and other laundry items to clean. If your dresses are dirty with normal sweat, oils, dust, or light dirt, then Normal wash is for your dresses.
Why Normal Wash?
Normal washing removes light dust, oils, and sweat from fabrics more effectively than dry cleaning. Shirts should be dry cleaned if there is any heavy soiling or stains. But water washing with detergent is a better solution for removing regular dirt, dust, or body fluids. The harsh chemicals that are used in dry cleaning sometimes cause damage to the fabrics.
So, when you decide on the washing process, read the dress label: if it doesn’t say “Dry Clean Only,” then decide ‘Normal wash and Fold’. The clothes will be happy for you.
Why Dry Cleaning?
Dry cleaning is ideal for wool, silk, leather, and other delicate fabrics. If you wash wool or leather fabrics in normal water, then it can cause the garment to shrink, fade, or lose its shape.
But if the cotton shirt or these kinds of clothes are dirt with heavy soil and stains, then dry cleaning is mandatory. Before dry cleaning your dresses in the laundromat, the experts examine the stains and fabric types, and if the stain is heavy, then they decide to dry clean the garments.
An important part is if the source of the stain is known, then choosing the right solvent to remove the stain will be easy and will be less harmful to the fabric. The clothes will be long-lasting.
