by Areeb Khan Professional Laundry Attendant

Process of dry-cleaning may not require water; however, it does require a variety of liquid cleaning solutions. The professionals associated with laundry business may use the process to clean linens, clothes and a variety of upholstering materials. This process is used to save certain types of fabric from the damage of water because the water washes away fine fibers at the time of cleaning. The woolen materials may become damaged due to this reason. On the other hand, the water damages the leather materials due to the dampening effect. The embellishments, such as buttons, beads or crystals, may become damaged during machine cleaning.

Evolution of Dry-Cleaning Solvents

The professionals associated with dry cleaning Dubai can avoid these damages. These businesses can retain the new look of clothing materials, upholsteries or other items for years. In yesteryears, the petroleum-based solvents along with kerosene; turpentine and gasoline were used in the process of dry-cleaning to remove the stains. However, these solvents were extremely flammable and increased the risk of catastrophic accidents due to this reason. The modern businesses use either PERC or more eco-friendly materials in dry-cleaning due to this reason.

Eco-Friendly Solutions

The Perchloroethylene or PERC is the most common dry-cleaning solvent. This solvent is nonflammable and friendly to the fabric. However, the modern studies have labeled this solvent to be unfriendly to the nature and it may release harmful elements to the nature after being discarded. The PERC may also cause discoloration to some fabric, such as silk or lace, along with the embellishments. This solvent is expert at removing the oil-based stains; however, it may leave behind a chemical smell on the cleaned fabric. Hence, the best laundry in Dubai may use latest eco-friendly solvents at the time of dry-cleaning. It enables a professional to achieve flawless cleanliness whilst making sure to avoid the adverse side-effects.

·         In the list of eco-friendly dry-cleaning solutions, Glycol ethers take the first position. These solvents are readily available and offer an economic solution for dry-cleaning.

·         The liquid silica is another dry-cleaning solvent that is friendlier to environment. The silica is liquefied under extreme pressure in order to be used in the process of dry-cleaning. This solvent causes zero adverse effects to the fabric or to the nature.

·         The liquid carbon-dioxide is the most effective and safest dry-cleaning solvent. It can remove all types of stains along with the odors. It also causes no harm to the environment.

Process of Dry-Cleaning

The professionals associated with dry cleaning Dubai do not start cleaning immediately after receiving the laundry. These professionals thoroughly inspect each item to identify all hidden stains, to determine the fabric’s type or to spot the embellishments that may require covering. They usually remove the tougher stains manually before starting the process. These professionals may even press each clothing material before returning the items to the clients.
