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. This is mainly because of the various clothes worn by us
during our day to day activities there are certain outfits which need
special care to clean them and which are not even able to wash at
home.
Let us for instance say now days you
must be going in Christmas party, now unfortunately while eating if
your favorite gown gets spoiled from the gravy for soup and it
becomes difficult for you to remove the stains from your favourite dress, you
will obviously drop it to any of the dry cleaners located near you.
Well, this is just an illustration of dry cleaning services that you
might require for getting your favorite free from the stains of soup,
there are various items at home for instance carpet, curtains, etc
which are difficult to clean at home and it becomes imperative to get
them cleaned from outside.
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.
