What is Dry Cleaning?
Dry Cleaning is a process that involves all garments being cleaned in a liquid solvent called perchloroethylene. The reason it is called "dry" clean is because there is no water used in the process. Dry cleaning also involves the hot tumble drying of your clothing up to temperatures of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Certain items like blazers, suits, pleated skirts, very saturated color, and when there are trimmings like beads, elaborate buttons, and sequins, you’ll likely want to have it dry cleaned. To find out if your garment is"dry clean only" can be found right on the care label.
