We have customers ask if dry cleaning their garments is better than washing garments. The simple answer is… It depends.
Garment labels serve as a guide from the manufacturer to help ensure garments are cleaned as the manufacturer intends. That being said, there are plenty of garments that allow for a wet wash (washing garments in a washing machine) versus dry cleaning that a professional dry cleaner, like Collegiate Cleaners, may recommend you professionally dry clean.
Although it is called ‘dry’ cleaning, an organic solution is used in the cleaning process. However, there is no water. Thus, the term dry cleaning. Dry cleaning preserves color, retains shape and is more gentle on your garments. It also improves the life of a garment and has the ability to remove some of the toughest stains. Dry cleaning can make your garments feel softer and give them a clean fresh appearance they had the day they were purchased. At Collegiate Cleaners, we most often launder business shirts and all other garments are dry cleaned.
