Certain fabrics and clothing items benefit greatly from dry cleaning. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
- Fabrics that Need Extra Care: Silk, wool, leather, and delicate synthetics.
- Formal and Business Attire: Suits, dress shirts, gowns, and high-end fashion require dry cleaning to maintain structure.
- Heavily Soiled Items: For deep-set stains, particularly oil-based stains, dry cleaning is often more effective than regular washing.
- Bedding and Large Household Items: Heavy blankets, duvets, and drapes may also benefit from dry cleaning to avoid damage.
Quick Tip: Check your garment’s care label—if it says “Dry Clean Only,” don’t risk regular washing.
