Since Professional Dry Cleaners provide both dry cleaning and laundry services, it’s easy to get confused as to the differences between the two. So let’s take a look.
Ultimately, the most basic difference between dry cleaning and laundering is the fact that dry cleaning does not use water and laundering does. Most dry cleaning services use a chemical solvent to remove stains; while laundering is more like how you wash your clothes at home - this service uses soaps and detergents.
Dry Cleaning
- Dry cleaning offers the following advantages and disadvantages:
The best option for removing stains with oil or grease - Will help to increase the longevity of your clothing and linens
- Bleeding, shrinking and shape distortion are very unlikely
- Uses chemicals
Laundering
- For different reasons, laundering also offers advantages and disadvantages, like the following:
There are no chemicals used - More energy efficient
- May not entirely remove a deep or dark stain
- There is a possibility of shrinking clothing
Which Is The Better Option?
In reality, it really comes down to your preference and the clothing or linen item that you need cleaned. If the item has a deep oil-based stained, our team would recommend dry cleaning service. However, if you want your everyday work clothing washed, we would suggest a laundering service if the clothing is free of dark or deep stains. For all questions or concerns about dry cleaning or laundering, please never hesitate to contact us.
