So you
have this shirt or blouse that you absolutely love. Let's say it
has a dark colored body and sleeves with contrasting white collar
and cuffs.
Except that it's been hanging at the back of your closet for a
few months because the collar and cuffs -- once a bright white --
turned dingy and gray after paying a
visit to your dry cleaner.
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.
So what to do?
Before you consign that shirt or blouse to the charity bin,
consider having your garment restored by a true quality cleaner.
Most garments with contrasting white and color combinations can be
restored to their original splendor.
Here's an example of a Gucci silk blouse with a white and black
geometric design and contrasting white cotton collar and cuffs that
we just restored to it's original brightness.
