dry cleaning animation. Text: Fashion School - Dry Cleaning - A cleaning process for clothing and fabric that usually can't withstand the rigor of at-home washers and dryers. Dry cleaning uses a chemical solvent rather than water to clean and preserve fabrics. Clothes are first soaked in solvents like Tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), or "perc," and are then rinsed in a fresh solvent to remove any further soil. The solvents also make dry cleaning pretty successful at removing stains - especially oil ones. Finally, clothes are steamed, hung or folded, and ready for return.
