Frequently Asked Questions
Dry Cleaning is a softer and non abrasive process compared to machine washing or laundering. We Personal Cleaners & Tailors use solvents that are gentle on the clothes and non toxic towards the environment. Dry Cleaning also helps maintain the new appearance of clothes, thereby extending their life. It is highly recommended for certain fabrics like wool and silk which have the potential to shrink or lose colour if washed in water.
At Personal Cleaners and Tailors, we use state of the art equipment to clean your clothes with staff that goes above and beyond to achieve the best results. While we cannot guarantee stain or mark removal, we do use the best detergents and solvents to ensure a job well done.
The vital difference between the two is that while traditional laundering uses water, dry cleaning is done without water. Instead it uses solvent to deliver the soap or detergent to the cloth.
