Does Dry Cleaning Really Remove All Sorts Of Stains?

Dry-cleaning has become an important part of our daily, busy lives. Professional, local dry-cleaning services makes it easier for us to take care of our clothes, especially those made from leather, suede or another finicky fabric. A good dry- cleaning and launder service uses every tool in their arsenal when it comes to removing tough stains from fabric and brings your clothes in the best possible condition.

Indeed, bringing your clothes to a local professional dry cleaning and launder service like Imperial Valet offers many advantages such as:

Provides Less Abrasive Cleaning Solutions

You must have noticed how damaging the machine washing process sometimes gets for clothes. First they are subjected to water (which can also be hard), there are then tossed in the dryer and introduced to heat. This entire process can ruin clothes made from delicate fabrics or specific wash and care instructions. Using the wrong brand of detergent or bleach amps up the damage! Dry cleaning on the other hand involves a mild cleaning solvent that is both good for your clothes and the environment.

Provides Special Care for Particular Fabrics

Washing certain fabrics at home comes with incredible number of risks. You don’t know how fabrics will respond to the home washing process, i.e. they can shrink, color can fade away etc. Materials like cotton are generally safer while there is no knowing how wool clothes will respond. Professional dry cleaning makes sure all kinds of fabric are handled properly according to its care label.

Removes Odor from Clothes

Certain odors (from smoke and water damage) are incredibly difficult to remove. Homeowners simply don’t have the processes required to remove these odors from clothes completely! Most professional dry cleaners can expertly handle this dilemma, even if the odor in question is an old one.

There Are Some Factors to Be Considered For Stains to Be Removed Successfully

There are:

Nature of the stain
Colorfastness of the dye
Type of fabric being washed

This means there are some stains that can’t be removed even by the professional dry-cleaning processes. What stains are they? There are:

Old stains that are oxidized or set in the fabric
Stain present in a delicate natured fabric
Dye in fabric is soluble, meaning it will be removed completely along with stain
Stain that is stronger than the dye

This information should by no means discourage you from visiting Imperial Valet when it comes to your dry-cleaning and laundering needs. In fact, we also have other services that can be of use!
