About Dry Cleaning Culture...

 

It can be easily said that the meaning of dry cleaning culture as a style of living is not using it rarely or often. Notwithstanding in spite of this culture is directly related with the social levels of individual, its  direct or indirect relationship with level of income can also be mentioned. Frequently, the persons who have a level of income that does not require dry cleaning may make their garments and things obtaining selection in accordance with this culture. This kind of preference can be accepted as a significant indicator of being conscious consumer In this sense;
- How dry cleaning is being made,
- Which of our garments and things are suppose to be dry cleaned,
- What kind of garments and things of us can be dry cleaned or can not,

- Which types of garments and things are in need of dry cleaning,
to know all of these information is a part of having this culture. Selecting a good dry cleaner is also a result of this culture. Its qualifications and dry cleaning approach special to things and persons are the complementary facts for this selection.

Dry Cleaning (Chemical Cleaning):
Dry cleaning is generally known as the cleaning system which is done by air or steam by people. In fact, it is cleaning of a garment or a textile product by being washed with a chemical liquid called as perkloretilen. Since this liquid is a volatile article, it easily decomposes from fabric surface with the help of machine and steam. For this reason, in a lot of developed country, the expression of “Chemical Cleaning” is being used instead of dry cleaning.

The principal base of dry cleaning is that to be done properly. Namely, fabric type of the product, accessories and garnishments of it and materials are very important with respect to cleaning. The determination of this requires experience and special tests. Although there are no cleaning instructions on textile products, we often come upon that even many prominent companies don’t reflect the true information. In case of we apply to the producer companies, a number of them concoct various excuses for not being liable for the case but mostly the serious companies select to make necessary corrections.

Fabric Shining:

The matter especially forms on dark colored and gabardine fabrics may occur as a result of ironing application and it forms more frequently on the sections of fabric such as being sat onto, knees, plackets which exposes to friction. Therefore, ironing should be made by competent persons, with appropriate machine and sufficient steam and hand irons should be made of teflon.  However, synthetic material which is in use largely in some fabrics (particularly produced within recent years) gives fabric an unnatural brightness. Definite solution of the brightness emanates from usage is not available however it may be partially reduced.

Collar Yellowness (Perspiration Paleness):

Acid exists in perspiration discolors or yellows some types of fabrics (especially linen and wooly fabrics) These problems can appear on cuffs and plackets as well as on collars. Even if the solution changes according to fabric and stain, the dirt on dress can be removed but to overcome the paleness is almost impossible.

Double Line:

This problem which occurs on trouser ironing, generally results in ironing operations by using of hand irons. This problem never occurs on trousers which continuously ironed by press iron.  Some dry cleaners prefer hand irons because of low cost and easiness. Emin Dry Cleaning uses press iron as of its establishment (for 32 years).

Stains;

The most common problems are stains. Please take into account the following cautions related to this matter:

• Never try to remove the stains you that have no information about it. Because, a wrong interference shall eliminate the possibility of removal of the stain and also may damage the fabric.(especially fancy fabrics)

• Either the right intervention should be done onto the stain or it should be given to dry cleaner as soon as possible. For instance, early intervention generally leads to positive results for blood, coffee, fruit juice, soft drink, alcoholic drinks, and dessert or salad sauce stains since they are water-based stains. The first intervention can be made with water in these stains. Never make any interventions to lube oil and fuel oil stains.  Except very special cases, never make any interventions over animal or vegetable fat stains. Because, both of this type and oil product's stains can be largely removed by auxiliary dry cleaning stain removers.

• No intervention should be done over rust, ink (ball point pen), resin and gum stains.  Because except some fabric types, we are able to remove these stains as well.

• Especially in seasonal swings, don't pack your stained products without making them dry cleaned.  As you pack your products, be sure that they can take air and protect them from dampness.

• Please note that, 100 percent accomplishment of dry cleaner can not be expected in respect of stains. As Emin Dry Cleaning, we try to obtain the best results by using the chemicals which are the newest products of technology and most importantly our altruism and experience with contributions of our customers.
