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.
