There would be hardly anyone across the world who must be not aware about the word dry cleaning or would have never got his clothes dry cleaned ever in his life. Anyhow even if someone says that he has never used dry cleaned service during his life time then either he is lying or he himself is a dry cleaner who does not require getting his clothes dry cleaned from some other source.

But tell me how many of us exactly know about the process of dry cleaning or its evolution. In-fact the number of persons thinking the process of dry cleaning as the method of cleaning clothes without water would be large. Although, it is true to certain extent, because clothes that under-go dry clean are cleaned by making use of a solvent rather than water. The history of dry cleaning dates back to mid of 1930’s when for the first time the process of dry cleaning came into practice.

The chemical used for cleaning clothes is known as perchloroethylene that is helpful in removing the stains and dirt from the clothes. Not only this, but the solvent also protect the clothes from shrinking, fading and distorting. Getting clothes dry cleaned is helpful in protecting from the damage which would have happened to them while washing at home with water and regular detergent. The relevance of dry cleaning can also be understood from the fact that today although we have multi-functional washing machines at home, but still sometimes they fail to clean all our clothes at same time when we fill its tub with heavy clothes.

Interestingly, now days going through the increasing use of these machines at home various dry cleaners have even started the service of free laundry collection and delivery to the customers. The offering of this additional service has proved to be a boon for customers who because of their hectic working schedule are not able to drop their clothes at dry cleaners for cleaning.

I don’t know about you but when it comes to having to do that dreaded weekly washing, I will pretty much try and use any excuse under the sun to avoid it. It’s so time consuming putting a wash cycle through and having to separate it all according to the care labels, and don’t even get me started on ironing! Although in some aspects I reckon I’ve got it pretty easy compared to others, so I probably shouldn’t complain.

MY CURRENT SITUATION

Well I’m a 27 year old apprentice who cannot currently afford proper rent let alone bills, and I currently live with my parents (sad but true). Of course this only temporary until my apprenticeship is complete, then hopefully I can actually start earning some real money, and maybe it can be my turn to buy the boyfriend something pretty!

Anyways drifting back to my point, living at home certainly does have its benefits. I don’t necessarily have to worry about water bills ( I don’t) when I’m doing my washing, because my parents sort the bills, and I also have access to a fully functional washing machine AND a tumble dryer. I know right? Some people don’t even have a tumble dryer! Although I’ve turned my fair share of tops into crop tops over the years, so let’s be honest I think that’s karma for even using a tumble dryer.

By this point you must be thinking, big deal so you’ve shrunk a few tops, at least you have access to a tumble dryer, bet that cuts down the time dramatically.

Well actually you couldn’t be more wrong. Being a gym enthusiast and going almost every day (that’s a lot of towel’s used in a week FYI), my washing piles are obscene! With towels taking up most of the room in the machine drum I can just about squeeze my snazzy gym clothes in the gaps and maybe the odd string. Yeah I’m not going to admit I wear any underwear bigger than that in this particular blog. Anyway, it takes forever to wait for one cycle to go through and then I have at least another 4 loads waiting, plus being the 3rd member in the house, 4th if my boyfriend decides he wants in on the action, it just takes up the majority of the day. Washing piles in our house start to run on a taxi rank basis, and I’m surprised the machines have lasted as long as they have to be fair.

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Whilst I was waiting for some washing to go through the other day, I was scrolling through Facebook and a picture of me and my girls traveling 3 years ago popped up. It reminded me of the time of the time when we were in LA, and it was the second week since we had left home. We knew we desperately needed to get some washing done, but after watching our friend wash all her pants in the bathroom sink (Eww!), we knew we had to find an easier and more sanitary option. So we set out early in the morning with our bags of washing and literally 10 minutes along the road we spotted a laundrette. Now as you can imagine I was preparing to settle in for the rest of the morning, knowing how long we would realistically be there, however when we got there it was a complete shock to the system. The industrialised machines were twice the size of a regular washing machine meaning we could do the whole load in one go, and in half the time! In fact I think we were only there for an hour and that was with using the tumble dryer. Less time inside meant more time to get our bronze on.

CONCLUSION

After remembering how easy it was to get our laundry done I decided to have a browse on the net to see if there were any decent laundrettes in my area. After typing the words “Laundrette Brighton” I was literally spoiled for choice. I even found a few laundrettes that had additional dry cleaning services, and some that would collect and deliver my laundry to my door. I tell you what as soon as I’m on a normal salary again I will 100% be cashing in on these services, especially in the summer so I can spend more time on the beach drinking cocktails in the sun!

Cleaning is one of the usually words utilized as a part of our everyday exercises since our adolescence, when our parents used to drop bag of garments for dry cleaning at the laundry shop close to our house. But, the question which has always confused me is that why there is so much fuss about dry cleaning, I mean why people prefer to get their clothes dry cleaned when we already have technically advanced washing machine at home facilitating ourselves to wash our favorite outfits strictly according to washing instructions determined for them.

The main reason which according to me seems to be responsible for our huge dependence on getting our clothes dry cleaned from shop is the scenario in which we have been brought up where dry cleaning is considered as one of the common activity. Although we have propelled cloth washing equipment at home, but will you prefer to wash your clothes after spending whole day in office accomplishing different tasks and then cooking meal for yourself after returning back to home. Undoubtedly, nobody will dare to switch on the machine for washing clothes after so much having such hectic schedule throughout the day. Moreover today when charges of electricity bills are hiking at jet dynamic speed across the world the cost of getting clothes dry cleaned from a modern laundry service sounds quite cost effective.

Moving ahead as you have habit of washing bunch of clothes together and if those clothes are made from different fabrics then you will be required to wash them strictly according to washing instructions referred about them, this could again be a cumbersome task for you. Today you can find plethora of dry cleaning laundries close to your home that are offering washing services at cost effective charges.

These laundries have expert washer men working for them having vast knowledge of washing different clothes according to their standards. With this they wash clothes by making use technically advanced machines determined for washing clothes. The worth mention benefit of getting clothes cleaned by them is they dry clean your clothes with chemicals which do not harm the color or stitching of your outfits. Even if your dress requires bleaching for cleaning the rigid stains they will perform the exercise with full precaution retaining the shine of cloth.

However, still there are various people who might oppose the services offered by dry cleaners because of their myth which make them feel that as dry cleaners are occupied with heavy commitments they will not be able to deliver their clothes on time. If unfortunately you are also undergoing any such belief, then you are mistaken because all these practices are now tales of yester years. Today, there will be many organization who provide quality laundry service with fast delivery also without any extra charges. In simple words, the soul of our discussion is that using the services of dry cleaning is one the necessity of our life which is not less than a boon for us, making us relaxed from the tension of cleaning clothes after returning working as slave at our office.
