Dry cleaning is the term used to describe the process of cleaning clothing and textiles with a chemical solvent rather than water. Dry cleaning methods have been in use since Roman times when people used ammonia, derived from urine, to launder their delicatewoollentogas. You'll be pleased to hear that dry cleaning techniques have come on quite a bit since then! Nowadays a variety of chemical solvents are used depending on the type of fabric and the type of soiling. For example perchloroethyleneis very effective at removing oil-based stains, while glycol ethers are effective at removing water-based stains.
