How To Understand The Difference Between Dry Cleaning And Washing

Laundry clothes washing system is divided into water washing and dry cleaning. Clothing should be washed or dry cleaned. Under the condition that the guarantee fiber and gloss are not affected, the dirt of the fabric is removed. Therefore, the laundry staff must understand that not all clothes can be dry cleaned, and not all clothes can be washed.

For some garments, they can be dry cleaned and washed. We should choose according to the characteristics of dry cleaning and washing. The advantages of water washing and dry cleaning are three aspects:

First, the cost of washing is low. Water is the main raw material for washing, and some detergents are applied in the washing process. Dry cleaning agents, including four vinyl chloride and petroleum solvent, are used and consumed in dry cleaning. By contrast, one ton of water is more than a few yuan, while dry detergent is less than a kilogram.

Second, the washing power is high. In terms of the wetting effect of water itself, it is not as good as dry cleaning agent. However, the ability of water to melt can be stronger, and it can be dissolved in various kinds of detergent, which is the main ingredient of the active agent. In the washing process, it can promote the removal of dirt by wetting, emulsifying and foaming. Instead, dry cleaners can only be dissolved in a small amount of surfactant.

Third, water washing is the most environmentally friendly. At the moment, we advocate green laundry, and the washing that the public feels ecological washing is more environmentally friendly than dry cleaning. No matter the oil dry cleaning machine, the totally closed four chloroethylene dry cleaning machine is a relatively old type of dry cleaning machine, which has dropped some pollution indicators. As petroleum and four chloroethylene are organic solvents, they have an impact on the environment and human body. The advantage of dry cleaning is that it can wash some clothes that can not be washed. The clothes that are dry cleaned at first time do not shrink, do not fade, do not blister, and do not deform. For some protein fiber and viscose fiber clothing, the shrinkage is serious when washing, resulting in smaller appearance after washing. Most of the colors of clothing are dyed with water-soluble dyes at high temperature. Therefore, it is easy to fade when washed. Dry cleaning agent is not soluble in water, and dry cleaning is not easy to shrink and fade. Some garment jackets have a fixed rubber lining. If they are washed, some of the water soluble resin will be washed, which will lead to the phenomenon of garment degumming and blistering. To sum up, the choice of washing styles should be based on the type and nature of fabrics, the characteristics of clothing and the conditions of the laundry. The application of washing is divided into cotton, linen and synthetic fabrics. For example, cotton fibers are fiber bundles, which can adsorb stains more strongly, and because of their relatively small shrinkage, they can be washed. Down jacket can only be washed without dry cleaning. If dry cleaning, wasting solvent, it is not easy to wash. The most important reason is that if the oil dry cleaning is adopted, it will cause its down film to harden. Dry cleaning limitations: including viscose fiber (Peugeot), wool and silk garments. These clothes are liable to severe shrinkage if washed. For example, silk garments are washed away easily, and dry clothes of artificial leather are broken and hard. Four dry cleaning of vinyl chloride should remove plastics (such as buttons) on clothing. As a passing laundry staff, not only must have skilled skills, but also have a wealth of work experience, so that the quality and quantity of clothes washing can be guaranteed.
