Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wet Cleaning and all-out Substitute to Conventional Dry Cleaning?

Cleaners using state-of-the-art wet cleaning technologies are able to clean up to 100 percent of all garments that are typically dry cleaned. Studies underway will help to better determine the percentage of clothes that can feasibly be wet cleaned. As the technology matures, that number will continue to rise. Dry cleaning, up until now, remains the most widely-used method of large-scale garment cleaning due to the limited availability of the wet cleaning facilities.

Does Wet Cleaning involve Laundering and Hand Washing?

For years, professional cleaners have been using methods such as conventional laundering and hand washing in addition to dry cleaning. While these processes are both water-based and require cleaners to know which fabrics need special treatment, they are not the same as wet cleaning. Laundering uses standard washing and drying machines to clean certain nondelicate garments that normally would NOT be dry cleaned, such as cotton slacks and shirts. Hand washing is labor-intensive and therefore limited to the most delicate garments such as silk and dyed fabrics. Machine wet cleaning, on the other hand, is an environmentally-friendly, high-volume method of cleaning clothes that would typically be dry cleaned.
