Does Dry Cleaning Really Reduce The Life Of a Garment?
What is the solution for this? The answer is dry cleaning. There are a lot of myths around this and we are here to break it down one by one. While dry cleaning is better than going through frequent trips through your washing machine, does it really reduce the life of your garment?
Dry cleaning is known to increase the life of your clothes. Let’s look at the various reasons and break the myths about laundry below.
Dirt acts like sandpaper on your clothes. The more they rub against each other, the more fibers get damaged and can break over time. Regular wash can remove most of the dirt but not completely. Dry cleaning removes it completely.
Some stains can be stubborn to remove, especially the oxidized yellow and brown ones. To prevent damage to the clothes, dry cleaning is the only option to totally remove stains.
Yes, you heard it right, water can cause the threads on your fabric to swell to double their size. Constant stretching can damage and turn the fabric out of shape. Delicate fabrics, expensive suits and silk clothes need to be dry cleaned.
With the constant changes in Indian weather, our clothes and closets are constantly prone to insect attacks. Frequently giving your clothes for dry cleaning can help prevent this. The mothballs scent left on the clothes will only vanish through dry cleaning.
Dry cleaning uses no detergents to clean clothes. Clothes are not prone to shrinkage and remain to look good as new when dry cleaned. To minimize damage, avoid detergent or heat for some clothes that have the tag ‘dry-clean only’. Clothes like silk, wool and velvet mostly have the tag.
