Usually people will send large, unscrupulous clothes to dry cleaners and ask for dry cleaning. Generally speaking, well-textured clothing such as silk and cashmere, some high-end cotton and linen clothing that are prone to shrinkage, as well as genuine leather and fur clothing, etc., must be dry cleaned, but people also have some misunderstandings about dry cleaning.
Generally, wool suits, trousers, coats, silk cotton jackets, cheongsams, tie, fur and suede (frosted leather, etc.) clothing, as well as various high-end fashions, should be dry-cleaned. Clothing that is not too dirty does not need to be washed. In addition, clothing that is stained with various oil-soluble stains is also suitable for dry cleaning.
Hand-dry cleaning should be done for those precious and special clothing, calligraphy and paintings, and historical relics.
In addition, for synthetic leather (artificial leather), imitation deer leather, and clothing with plastic buttons, they cannot be dry cleaned because such clothing is easy to wash and plastic buttons are easy to dissolve. It should also be noted that it is best not to dry clean the clothes intimately, so as to avoid the residual dry cleaning agent on the clothes having adverse effects on the human body.
Dry cleaning misunderstanding 1: Dry cleaning is better than water washing
Not all clothes are suitable for dry cleaning, and the laundry will adopt reasonable washing methods based on the material of the clothes. Generally speaking, clothes with coatings, flocking and artificial leather cannot be dry cleaned because dry cleaning requires the use of chemical solvents, which may react chemically with them. Dry cleaning may age the fabric of the down jacket, lose its flexibility, and affect the warmth of the down, so it is best to wash it. When washing, look at the labels on the clothes and follow the advice of the dry cleaner staff. Mr. Ma introduced that the decontamination effect of dry cleaning is often not as good as washing. Whether it is good or not depends on the specific situation and cannot be simply compared. In addition, although dry cleaning uses chemical solvents and will not have any impact on health, it is recommended that consumers wash their clothes in water.
Dry cleaning misunderstanding 2: Dry cleaning of clothes should be as new as new
Customers often report that although they have bought their own clothes for a long time, they have not worn them a few times, so why did they become old after being sent to dry cleaning? In fact, once the clothing is worn and cleaned, it will naturally cause wear and tear to varying degrees. Clothing cleaning is a repair process, but it will not be restored 100% to the newly purchased clothing. Even clothes hanging in the wardrobe, the side close to the wardrobe will have color difference after dry cleaning, because the wardrobe board may contain some substances that react with the solvent. Some stains such as blood stains and pigmented beverages will be difficult to remove after a long period of oxidation. In addition, some colorless substances such as strong acids may damage the clothing if dry cleaning is contaminated. Consumers should inform the clerk of the comprehensive situation before washing to avoid causing more serious consequences.
Dry cleaning misunderstanding of clothes: The laundry should be fully responsible
Has the clothes been washed out? Many people think that dry cleaners should be fully responsible, but because the fabrics used in various types of clothes are very complicated, the dry cleaners will wash according to the labels indicated by the manufacturer if the material cannot be judged. If there are still problems with washing according to the prompt conditions, it may also be caused by insufficient production by the manufacturer, and consumers need to negotiate with the manufacturer to resolve the problem. Some clothes cannot be dry-cleaned or washed. At this time, consumers need to contact the merchants selling clothes to ask for solutions, and letting the dry cleaners deal with them rashly may have unpredictable consequences.
Dry cleaning misunderstanding 4: After washing, go directly into the wardrobe.
Many consumers will directly put the plastic cover on the dry cleaning shop into the wardrobe after getting the clothes back, but it is recommended that you take off the cover when you go home. Because the plastic cover is not breathable, it is not conducive to clothing maintenance and the cotton fabrics will also turn yellow. The clothes retrieved from dry cleaning are generally thoroughly dried. If there is a significant odor, it is best to dry them in a ventilated place and then wear them.
