💡 Introduction to dry cleaning

What is dry cleaning?

Dry cleaning is a waterless fabric care method that uses organic solvents (like liquid silicone or hydrocarbon) to gently lift dirt and stains while preserving delicate fibers.
Why Dubai homes & businesses need it:

✔ Removes oil-based stains (makeup, grease, curry) that water can't treat
✔ Prevents color fading on sun-exposed furniture (critical in Dubai's heat)
✔ Kills 99% bacteria without moisture that breeds mold in humidity
✔ Preserves luxury fabrics (silk, wool, leather) that shrink with steam
Best uses in Dubai homes:
- Leather sofas & car interiors
- Persian/Antique rugs
- Blackout & sheer curtains
- Memory foam mattresses
How professional dry cleaning works:
1. Inspection - UV light detects invisible stains
2. Pre-treatment - Targeted solvent application
3. Machine cleaning - Industrial drum with temperature control
4. Finishing - Hand-pressing/steaming to restore texture
Dubai - specific benefits
