Is dry cleaning good for clothes

Dry cleaning of clothes is not good for clothes, because the most commonly used solvent in the dry cleaning agents currently on the market is tetrachloroethylene, which is a toxic substance. If it remains on clothes, it is harmful to human health.

  1. The solvent used in dry cleaning clothes is not only harmful to clothes but also has adverse effects on human health. Generally, the dry cleaning machines of small laundries cannot achieve the effect of cleaning, and the dry-cleaned clothes will have residual toxic substances, such as tetrachloroethylene.
  2. Not all clothes are suitable for dry cleaning. Dry cleaning mainly uses chemical reaction washing, which is generally easier to remove oil stains than water washing, and the clothes are not easily deformed and shrunk after washing. Some garments contain polyester material that dissolves when exposed to perchloroethylene.

To sum up, dry cleaning of clothes is not good for clothes.

Dry cleaning does little damage to clothes, but it does damage to the human body.

The main features of dry cleaning are to avoid damage to the fabrics caused by water washing, no shrinkage, good color protection, not easy to cause the clothes to fade, soft to the touch, easy to iron, and can thoroughly clean the oil or stains on the clothes.

After washing, the clothes also have special effects of disinfection and sterilization, which are not easy to be eaten by insects and are easy to store.

Children’s clothes should not be dry cleaned, and adults’ clothes must be aired after dry cleaning.

Children under the age of 3, due to their weak resistance, are prone to skin allergies after contact with some substandard clothing. Dry cleaning mainly uses organic chemical solvents to achieve the purpose of washing clothes and removing oil stains and stains. After washing, it is likely to leave organic chemicals that are harmful or irritating to the baby’s skin.

Excessive tetrachloroethylene residues in dry-cleaned clothes or directly retrieved and put on directly may also trigger the occurrence of allergic rhinitis.

Clothes suitable for dry cleaning:

Dry cleaning is suitable for fabrics that are not washable and are prone to fading. Dry cleaning has the advantage of preventing fabric fibers from deforming and keeping the original color of the fibers, and at the same time prolonging the wearing life of the clothes.

Clothes made of woolen fabrics are prone to dampness and mildew. The storage cabinets should be kept clean and dry, and the relative humidity should be below 60%. At the same time, mothballs should be placed in order to avoid dampness, mildew, or insects.

Cotton and linen have good hygroscopicity, and it is mainly to prevent mildew and rot during storage, that is, to prevent the reproduction of mold microorganisms.

The amount of dry cleaning agent is closely related to the amount of dry cleaning fatliquoring agent.
