Dry cleaning is a specialized process where garments are cleaned with a chemical solvent instead of water, effectively removing stains without damaging delicate fabrics. Originating in the 19th century, it has evolved into a convenient service for maintaining the quality and longevity of clothing. The method includes tagging, sorting, spot treatment, machine cleaning, solvent evaporation, pressing, and final preparation for customer return. Its significant benefits are time-saving, superior stain removal, and the convenience of professional care, making it a preferred choice for those with demanding schedules and the need for meticulous garment maintenance.
