Answer 2

Home Dry Cleaning Kit

Answer 3

I utilize the dry cleaning kits. They are great! I put my suits or dress slacks into the bag with a sort of wet one sheet, zip up the bag and throw in the dryer for 20-30 minutes. If there is a stain it has stain remover.

I still send my suits to the dryer about once a quarter but other wise I use the bag. On short notice when I have run out of the dry cleaning sheets I have used about 2 or 3 dryer sheets and it freshens up the suits right away.

Or you can go to a laundry mat and some have dry cleaners that you can do your self at a fraction of the cost.

Hi, Rainbow. Dry-cleaning kits are available in the market. Try to get one of a popular brand. It is easy to clean with the help of this kit. You can avoid much of the messing and physical strain and precautionary measures. If you are careful and economical, you can try this: Take required quantity of petrol and soak the garment for a few minutes. The dirt and stains get cleared. After a few minutes, remove the cloth and sprinkle some eau-de-cologne and let it dry. When it is completely dried, iron it and the garment is ready to wear. This seems to be a laborious process and needs much care and attention, so it is better you get a kit that is abailable in the market.

Answer 5

True dry cleaning is done using white petrol, kerosene or turpentine as a solvent.
The dry cleaning machine after dissolving and removing the dirt from your linen, vapourises the solvent and then condenses it.
This effectively seperates the dirt from the solvent for re-use.
The result is your clothes are clean without the odour of the solvent.
I dont think you can do the same thing at home.

I know for a fact that you can buy a home dry cleaning kit at any pharmacy or grocery store. There are a few diffrent brands, I have used one my self and it is pretty safe, I'd check to see if they have a warranty in small print on the back. Or a satisfactory guarantee. Hope you find what your looking for.

Answer 7

First mix shikakai powder with water. Stir well. Dip your synthetic / silk garments in it. After dipping gently smash the dirty places with your hand.

Remove and rinse in ordinary water 2 or 3 times, dry it and iron it.

Note : You have to dip each colour separately if the garmet contains more than one colour. i.e. body and border.

Answer 8

In the laundry aisle in the grocery store, they have dry cleaning product made specifically for home use. One product I've used, and works very well is called Dryel.

They sell the kits anywhere. Go to Wal-mart, the laundry section, and get one. You put your garments in the enclosed bag, add a sheet, and pop in your dryer for 30 min
