Do your
white, cream and pastel garments look dingy or gray after you get
them back from the cleaners?
In this regard, I'm referring to your white, cream and pastel
garments that have, indeed, been dry cleaned as recommended by the
care label. I'm not referring to your "dry clean only" garments
that have been WASHED or wet cleaned (and not dry cleaned as
recommended by the care label). Nor am I referring to your "machine
washable" garments that have been WASHED (and not dry cleaned as
you specifically requested).
Ever wondered why your whites, creams and pastels turn dingy or
gray?
Here's why...
Garments and household textiles should always be cleaned in dry
cleaning fluid that's both continuously purified and continuously
filtered. Every single drop. This way your garments and household
textiles are cleaned in dry cleaning solvent or fluid that's
absolutely crystal clear. As clear as bottled mountain spring
water.
Continuous purification is much like boiling your tap water at
home to obtain pure water; continuous filtration is much like
filtering your tap water to remove any additional impurities.
Fact is, crystal clear, freshly purified and
filtered dry cleaning fluid is your only guarantee against grayish
and dingy whites, creams and pastels; dull and faded colors; and
that all-to-familiar "
dry cleaning solvent smell."
Unfortunately, very few ordinary cleaners both continuously
purify every single drop of their dry cleaning solvent or fluid
before and after each load, and continuously filter every single
drop of their dry cleaning solvent or fluid during each load.
So soluble impurities, such as bacteria, residual dyes, food
fats and body oils, accumulate in the dry cleaning solvent or
fluid. And insoluble impurities, such as sand, skin flakes and
hair, float around in the dry cleaning solvent or fluid.
These soluble impurities are then absorbed by the fibers of your
garments and household textiles during the dry cleaning "wash"
cycle. In particular, natural fibers, such as silk, wool, linen and
cotton, absorb these impurities like a sponge absorbs liquid.
Instead of your cleaner both continuously purifying
and continuously filtering his dry cleaning solvent or fluid, your
garments and household textiles are functioning as your cleaner's
"cleaning filter."
In effect, your garments and household textiles are being
cleaned in "dirty dry cleaning solvent." It's just like washing
your clothes at home and reusing the same dirty water over and over
again.
Cringe at your leisure.
