But
just because doing laundry at home is a simple process doesn’t mean
it’s all your clothes need. In fact, on the contrary; in addition to
machine washing, dry cleaning is an essential part of keeping your
wardrobe—and some pieces more than others—in the best condition
possible. Here are some of the advantages of dry cleaning:
Odor removal. Certain types of odors, like those from
smoke and water damage, are incredibly difficult to remove. Most dry
cleaners have processes that can handle these dilemmas, even if the
smell in question has been present for a long time.
We may complain about it every so often, and it might be a hassle in
the midst of our busy lives, but let’s face it: doing laundry is pretty
easy. After all, people used to wash every piece of clothing by hand,
but now we have machines that will do it for us, so long as we load
them.
Care for particular fabrics.One of the biggest risks in
washing at home is how fabrics will respond. While some materials like
cotton are generally safe, others, like wool, can go either way, and
some shouldn’t be machine washed or dried at all. Dry cleaning ensures
that the fabric will be handled properly according to its needs, and it
takes the burden off you to decide how to treat it.
Stain removal. Similar to odors, stains that withstand the most dogged of washings can often be eliminated during a trip to the cleaners.
Finishing is done for you. Some of the real time
investment in doing laundry comes in the ironing, folding, and hanging
stages; and if you skimp there, clothes become wrinkled and disheveled.
Dry cleaners take this step for you, and we make sure it’s
professionally done.
