Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Cleaning

You should deal with the stain right away by soaking up any excess liquid and scraping off any excess solids that may be present. Dab….don’t scrub the stain, and make certain to use a coating cloth during the process as a colored cloth could worsen the problem. Always use cool or warm water—never cold or hot. 

Tailored suits, jackets and coats should never be washed. This is because the facings and linings often contain a mix of different fabrics that could shrink at different rates, causing the garment to lose its shape. 

Dry cleaning is a method of removing stains and dirt from garments and fabrics by using little or no water during the cleaning process. 

Certain fabrics like cotton, nylon, polyester, spandex, acrylic and acetate often don't need dry cleaning. The best rule of thumb is to pay careful attention to the label suggestions of the garment's manufacturer.
