This is a method most
commonly associated with transporting your items into the local dry cleaning
and laundry establishment. However, in the process of Dry Solvent Fabric
and Carpet Cleaning there are some very important differences and considerations.
1. Chemistry - determining
the type of Solvent base to use and the amount and type if any booster
may be used to facilitate the best quality end result with minimum if
any degradation of the fibers themselves.
2. Fiber Composition and Finish - Some fibers can actually disintegrate
or "melt" if the inappropriate base solvents are used. Also
the finishes on some satin and moiré can be terribly distorted
if the blend or application techniques are not correct.
3. Level of Soiling - This is always the major consideration. Dry Cleaning
of any type is really only prescribed as a "maintenance" cleaning
and not a "restoration" type cleaning. The reason for this is
that dry cleaning is considered to be only 25% - 35% effective and only
under the most optimal conditions. Consider how many times you knew and
wished that fine garment could be laundered instead of dry cleaned after
a "smoky" event.
4. Dye Fastness - determining the type of base Solvent to use and the
amount and type if any booster may be used to facilitate the best quality
end result with minimum if any degradation or running of refuge dyes from
dark colors to lighter colors.
5. Ventilation - Dry solvent must always be exhausted properly with adequate
filtration or scrubbing and the area in which it is used must be well
ventilated.
6. Installed/Stretched in fabric and carpet must be cleaned on site at
your location
7. Age of the fabric and carpet
8. Type of soiling and staining
Dry Wet Dry Cleaning - May
very will be a great alternative to just dry or wet cleaning. We perform
our specialized technique in very specific circumstances on particularly
fragile carpet and fabric fibers with phenomenal results.
