Taking clothes to a drycleaner can be both expensive and time consuming. You have to pay both for your clothes to be dry-cleaned and also for the gas used to drive to drop off and pick up your clothes. Fortunately, there is a solution to wasting time and money like this, and it’s to use home dry-cleaning kits.
The first step to doing your own dry-cleaning is to pre-treat the clothes. First, you need to inspect your dry-clean only clothes for any spots or stains. If you find any, you need to have a cleaning solvent on hand. Thankfully, a cleaning solvent is generally included with most home dry-cleaning kits. Place an absorbent pad, which may also be provided, on the other side of the fabric where the spot is and then slowly apply the solvent. Gently rub in the solvent until the stain disappears.
The next step is to do the actual dry-cleaning. For this you need a special dry-cleaning bag and a dryer-activated cloth. Both should have come with the kit. Usually, the bag will fit one to three articles of dry-clean only clothing. You should place the clothes inside the bag with the dryer-activated cloth.
Once the bag is sealed, place it inside your dryer. You should then run the dryer for fifteen to thirty minutes, depending on what the instructions say in your dry-cleaning kit. While your clothes are in the dryer, the dryer-activated cloth will release a small amount of water, some perfume, and an emulsifying agent to clean your clothes.
After the cycle you set for your dryer finishes, remove the clothes from the bag and put them on hangers. This will help remove any wrinkles while the clothes are still warm. If the wrinkles do not disappear after you let the clothes hang for a good while, the last step is to iron out the wrinkles yourself.
Using a home dry-cleaning kit and following these easy to remember instructions, you’ll find there’s no reason to bother with hauling your clothes back and forth from a drycleaner when you can do all the work a drycleaner does from the comfort of your own home.
