So, What is Dry Cleaning? Have You Ever Wondered How it Work and Why It May be a Better Cleaning Method? 

You drop off your dirty laundry into one of My Locker Laundry's lockers, place an order, and get back to work. A few days later, you return to find your clothes cleaned, fresh, and perfectly pressed. But have you ever wondered what happens to your clothes while they're at My Locker Laundry?

In this article, we unlock the process and explain how dry cleaning works.

What Is Dry Cleaning?

In simple terms, dry cleaning is a process of cleaning clothes without using water.

Instead of soaking garments in water like traditional washing machines, dry cleaning relies on chemical solvents to remove stains and refresh fabrics.

The name "dry cleaning" comes from the absence of water in the cleaning process.

Why Dry Cleaning Is Better for Clothes

1. Protects Fabrics from Shrinkage and Fading
   Water causes fibers to swell, which can lead to shrinkage and dye fading. Dry cleaning avoids this issue, helping your clothes maintain their original size, shape, and color.

2. Removes Tough, Oily Stains
   Dry cleaning solvents excel at breaking down oil and grease, which are the main components of many stubborn stains.

The My Locker Laundry Process

At My Locker Laundry, we follow a meticulous 5-step process to ensure your clothes come back looking their best. Here's how it works:

1. Inspection and Tagging

Each item of clothing is inspected and tagged with a unique identity number to ensure nothing gets misplaced. During this step, our professionals check for stains, missing buttons, or damage like holes.

2. Pre-Spotting

If stains are found, they are treated with specialized chemicals tailored to the stain type. For instance, a lipstick stain requires a different approach than a tomato sauce stain. This pre-treatment step ensures maximum stain removal in the dry cleaning process.

3. The Dry Cleaning Process

After pre-treatment, garments are placed in our advanced dry cleaning machines. These machines immerse the clothes in a non-water-based solvent and gently rotate them to dissolve dirt and stains. The solvent is then drained, and the garments are spun to remove any remaining residue.

4. Post-Spotting

Once the cleaning process is complete, each garment undergoes a final quality check. This quality control (QC) step ensures all stains have been effectively removed before moving to the finishing stage.

5. Finishing

Cleaned garments are steamed, pressed, or ironed to perfection. For example, our state-of-the-art pressing machine can press up to 60 shirts in an hour—making your shirts look flawless in just about a minute each!

Why Choose Dry Cleaning?

Dry cleaning offers several benefits:

• Prolongs the life of your clothes by avoiding the damage caused by water.
• Removes tough stains more effectively than regular washing.
• Prevents shrinkage and distortion, keeping your garments in pristine condition.
