Frequently Asked Questions
What is dry cleaning?
Dry cleaning, as the name suggests, is a method of cleaning clothes without water. Cleaning your clothes using a liquid solvent and different chemicals (biodegradable and harmless) designed to remove dirt, stains and odors from your clothes, instead of water.
Why should I dry clean when I have a washing machine?
There are several reasons why people prefer dry cleaning over washing machine. First, dry cleaning not only eliminates the risk of your clothes shrinking or tearing during washing, but also extends the life of your clothes. Dry cleaning does not use water, mechanical action or heat to wash your clothes. Although the dry cleaning method is gentler, the solvents it uses are much stronger than laundry detergent. Therefore, it can remove stains more easily.
I've heard that dry cleaning shortens the life of clothing, is it true?
We don't know where this rumor came from. What we do know is the fact that this is a rumor! On the contrary, dry cleaning makes your clothes last longer. Our methods remove stains that washing machines cannot remove and preserve the colors of clothes. Even after using a washing machine, there may be stains and dirt on the fabric that cannot be seen. This makes the dress or clothing more useless and ultimately unwearable.
Do you use bleach?
We don't use bleach (bleach) on clothes unless absolutely necessary, and if we have to use it, we have a professional team that makes sure it won't damage the garment.
Will sweating damage my clothes?
For clothes, sweating is a difficult issue. Worse still, aluminum chloride antiperspirants can also damage your clothing if applied in excess. To prevent sweat damage, you need to be mindful of the amount of antiperspirant you use and take the affected clothing to the dry cleaners immediately after wearing it.
How Does Dry Cleaning Affect the Color of My Clothes?
According to the care label rule, colors should be able to withstand the recommended care procedure. In general, dry cleaning preserves colors better than a wet wash. However, our team always checks labels ahead of time to ensure the garment survives the process, avoiding potential risks.
Can Dry Cleaning remove all stains?
Dry cleaning has been proven to remove stains more effectively than washing machines. Unfortunately, some stains are permanent and even the best cleaning methods cannot remove them. If you notice a stain on your clothes, never try to remove it yourself. Washing a stain or trying to remove it with a household cleaner can cause it to penetrate the fabric further and permanently ruin its structure. If you deliver the stained garment in question to the Dry Service experts, you can be sure that you will receive professional support in this regard.

We wash off the dirt on the fabric by washing it. We see a lot of people who have their curtains dry cleaned and are disappointed that the result is not satisfactory.

We prioritize your satisfaction and take great pleasure in witnessing the happiness you experience when we hang your curtains.
Do you use a steam machine?
No. We do not steam clean your curtains. We subject the curtains to a professional wash process to properly clean the entire curtain, including headboards and frills.

Cat – dog stains, food stains, oil stains, cigarette smoke, handprints, smoke odor, etc. can you clean the dirt?
Yeah. We can also remove many other stains (please inquire). It's helpful to know what's causing the stains. We cannot restore the color parts where the curtain color has been destroyed by the stain. We can also deodorize curtains that have been soiled by odors such as smoke or cooking odours.

How often should I have carpets cleaned?
When you vacuum your carpet, you are removing surface dirt and contaminants and giving it a fresher look. However, over time, carpet fibers get dirty from daily life, spills, children, pets and other reasons. If left undisturbed, these contaminants not only affect the appearance of your carpet; they also cause them to wear out faster, and more importantly, they can pose health risks, especially for people with allergies or asthma, and young children who spend a lot of time on the floor. The best way to maintain a cleaner and healthier home is to complement your regular vacuum with a professional cleaning. Having your carpets washed will remove the dirt you can't see and create a new feeling all the time.
It's important to have carpets cleaned regularly if you have asthma, allergies or other health problems. Dry Service offers professional carpet cleaning at least every 6 months, depending on the level of contamination and whether there are children or pets in your home.
