Its called dry cleaning because it does not use water in the process. Water means wet, and anything else that is not water=Wet then is Dry.
It also uses volitile solvents, that evaporate on their own or with applying heat. Therefore dries very quickly, from a solvent laiden state to a dry solvent free state.
