FAQs

The main difference between laundry & dry-cleaning is water.  Laundry uses water and detergents during the washing process, whereas dry-cleaning uses chemical solvents.

A care symbol is an image that represents the method of cleaning.  Such symbols are written on care labels attached to the clothing to indicate how a particular item should be best cleaned.

Stains require prompt treatment for a successful removal.  Unfortunately, hand washing is not an effective way of removing stains.  Most stains can be removed with special solvents and equipment used by professional dry-cleaners.

The following list provides an indicative time frame for cleaning personal items.  Processing time may take longer for reasons such as stain removal, extended drying times, and other factors:

Clothing               1 week

Quilts                    2 weeks

Carpets                4 weeks
