How does Dry Cleaning work?

Answer 1

no water, just powder

Answer 2

Dry cleaning has been used since the discovery of petroleum. Perclorodiethylene , also called PERC is a petroleum VOC. It has strict federal laws which regulate the disposal.
Exposure to PERC will cause cancer. A worker exposed to perc will get liver damage. For this reason dry cleaning establishments preffer to hire alchohol abusers so their subsequent disease can be reasonably blamed on alchohol abuse. This kind of work is called being made a sponge. That is an individual who works with hazards who is not able to defend themselves when their health is damaged.perc makes people very irritable and angry all the time. It frys the brain .The liver secretes glycogen to save the brain from oxygen deprivation . Glycogen is stored in the liver. The hormone that releases this stored glycogen is the pissed off hormone. so dry cleaning people in unventilated ereas stay mad all the time just like stage 4 drunks do. I had a friend who got liver damage after only 6 months. He had hepatomegaly and a pot belly. Just as if he had been a heavy drinker for 30 years. But just 6 months earlier was a healthy person .Another sponge I knew personally was an american indian papago tribe. When the sponge is a minority it becomes invironmental racsm-- like that coal fired power plant they are forcing on the Navajos.
Perc wreaks the liver, brain , fat metabolism.
You do not want to dry clean a quilted bed spread and then sleep under it 8 hours a day. You don't want to attend a church where the entire congregation is wearing dry cleaned clothing. Anything you wear put it in the sun and air it very well. It is a solvent. It does not smell bad but that does not mean it is harmless. GO GREEN !

Hi there, If you look at the cleaning label inside your jacket etc. you will see the letter P. This stands for Percoethylene- which is the chemical they use in Dry Cleaning.
They usually put the jacket in like a huge tumble drier. They then take it out, put it on like a half dummy and 'blow dry it into shape.

Answer 5

Dry cleaning uses a fluid called percholoreythlene and soap to clean clothes...there is never any water used to clean clothes....most times this will not remove stains from badly stained clothes....especially if they got stained then wet and allowed to dry...this allows stains to set and then it is nearly impossible to get them clean...

Answer 6

It doesn't always work. We had a fire in our flat last year so we got all of our stuff dry cleaned. They bugg&red the lot up. Curtains different lengths, clothes shrunk and it all smelt of the fluid.
