Question 1

Who is a dry cleaner and dyer?

Accepted Answer

Dry cleaning and dyeing services are specialized services offered by professional cleaning establishments to clean and restore garments, textiles and other fabric-based items. Unlike traditional washing methods that use water, dry cleaning uses chemical solvents to remove stains, dirt and odours from delicate or sensitive fabrics that may be damaged by water or regular washing.

Question 2

What is dry cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Dry cleaning involves the use of solvents such as perchloroethylene (commonly known as "perc") or more environment friendly alternatives like hydrocarbon-based solvents. The process typically starts with garment inspection, where any stains or spots are identified and treated individually. The garments are then placed in a machine that resembles a large washing machine but uses the solvent instead of water. The solvent cleans the fabrics, and any remaining solvent is extracted in a separate spin cycle. Finally, the garments are steamed, pressed and given finishing touches before being returned to the customer.
Dry cleaning is suitable for a variety of fabrics, including delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, cashmere and garments with intricate lacework, embellishments and embroidery. It is also effective for removing oil-based stains, grease and odours that may be difficult to remove through regular washing.

Question 3

What is dyeing service?

Accepted Answer

Dyeing services are offered to modify the colour of garments or fabrics. Customers may choose to dye their items for various reasons, such as refreshing the colour of faded garments, changing the colour to match a new style or preference or restoring colour to stained or discoloured items.

Question 4

How are clothes dyed?

Accepted Answer

Professional dyeing services employ skilled technicians who have expertise in colour blending and fabric dyeing techniques. The process involves treating the fabric with appropriate dyes and chemicals to achieve the desired colour. The fabric is carefully monitored during the dyeing process to ensure the colour consistency and quality. After dyeing, the fabric is thoroughly rinsed, washed and dried before being returned to the customer.
It's worth noting that not all fabrics or garments are suitable for dyeing. Fabrics made of synthetic fibres, such as polyester or nylon, may not absorb dyes effectively, while certain fabrics may have limitations due to their colour fastness or sensitivity to dyeing processes.

Question 5

Dry cleaning and dyeing services provide a convenient and specialized solution for cleaning delicate fabrics which cannot be cleaned at home using regular washing methods.
