Shirts Dry Cleaning Process

Our Shirts Dry Cleaning Facility

Step 1: Garment Inspection

Our dry cleaning process starts with a thorough inspection of your shirt. Our trained professionals carefully examine each garment for stains, loose buttons, or any other signs of damage. This crucial step ensures we’re aware of any specific areas that may require extra attention during the cleaning process. Additionally, we review the garment’s care label to confirm that the manufacturer’s instructions align with your cleaning requirements.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment of Stains

Any stains detected during the inspection are addressed through pre-treatment before the dry cleaning begins. We use specialized stain removal techniques tailored to different types of stains, aiming for the best possible results. If you notice any stains, please inform our staff; highlighting them speeds up the process. While we strive for complete stain removal, it’s important to note that 100% removal cannot always be guaranteed.

Step 3: Dry Cleaning Machine Loading

After inspection and pre-treatment, your shirt is loaded into our advanced dry cleaning machine. These machines are designed to clean garments without using water. Instead, we utilize an eco-friendly solvent that effectively removes dirt, oil, and contaminants from the fabric while being gentle on your clothes.

Step 4: Cleaning Cycle

The dry cleaning machine initiates a multi-stage cleaning cycle. First, the solvent is pumped into the machine, where it gently agitates the shirt to penetrate the fabric and dissolve dirt and stains. The dirty solvent is then drained from the machine, ensuring that the cleaning process is thorough and effective.

Step 5: Rinse Cycle

Following the cleaning stage, a fresh solvent is introduced to rinse away any remaining dirt and residues from the detergent. This step is crucial to ensure that no cleaning agents are left behind, which could potentially damage the fabric or leave residues that affect the shirt’s feel and appearance.

Step 6: Drying

The drying process involves spinning the shirt rapidly to remove most of the moisture. The remaining solvent is then evaporated using heat and air circulation within the machine. This specialized equipment ensures that the shirt dries properly without any risk of damage.

Step 7: Steam Ironing

Once dry, the shirt undergoes steam ironing. This step is essential for removing any wrinkles and restoring the fabric’s smooth, crisp appearance. Our skilled professionals use steam irons set at precise temperatures to ensure that the shirt is ironed without any risk of fabric damage. The ironing process is adjusted based on the shirt’s fabric and specific requirements.

Step 8: Post-Cleaning Inspection and Finishing

After drying and ironing, the shirt is inspected again to ensure it meets our high standards. Any remaining issues are addressed during this stage. We then finish the shirt with additional steaming, pressing, and reshaping to restore its original look and ensure it looks as good as new.

Step 9: Packaging and Delivery

The final step involves packaging your freshly cleaned shirt to protect it from dust and damage during transportation. We place the shirt in a protective cover or bag, ready for pickup or delivery based on your preference.

Firstly, read your shirt’s cleaning label. This is probably the most important step in any laundry process. If you are unsure how to read a laundry symbol, you may learn more about them here.

Use a cold water setting if you choose to laundry your shirt. However, if your shirt requires dry clean only, please send it to a reputable dry cleaner.

If you notice any stains on your shirt, act immediately. The reason is, the longer you leave the stain on your shirt, the tougher it is to be removed. Besides, if you are not sure what is causing the stains, send your shirt to a professional cleaner.

Only when your shirt is fully white and the material can be bleached, we will recommend you bleaching it when your shirt stains cannot be removed.

Use a natural detergent when you laundry your shirt. Alternatively, send it to a dry cleaner that is using eco-friendly solution.

Clean your shirt every time after wearing it.

Choose a gentle tumble drying setting to avoid shrinkage.
