How To Dry Clean at Home

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How To Dry Clean at Home and hope the blog can help you.

Save time and money by learning how to safely launder “dry clean only” garments at home.

While some items are best left to the professionals, there are plenty of items that are labeled as “dry clean only” that can actually be laundered at home. Many clothing manufacturers conservatively label delicate pieces as “dry clean only” to prevent consumers from inadvertently damaging them.

The term “dry cleaning” is actually something of a misnomer, because clothes that are dry cleaned don’t actually stay dry throughout the process. Dry cleaners use perchloroethylene, a liquid chemical solvent, to clean clothing rather than mixing laundry detergent with water.

It’s important to note that some items aren’t suitable for DIY dry cleaning. These include items made from leather, suede, and delicate synthetic fabrics like rayon as well as natural/synthetic blends that include wool or silk. It’s also best to dry clean suits, pleated skirts, and items with sequins or other embellishments.
