Learn to Dry-Clean your Clothes At Home

Dry cleaning has become the part and parcel of life. But sometimes it becomes too expensive and time-consuming; that I thought it is better to learn dry cleaning at home.

There is no dearth of doubt that a number of laundry services have opened up either offline or online. But some are highly priced that can’t be afforded on regular basis and somewhere price is reasonable does not give a good service. So let’s leave all the stress behind and let’s dry clean at home. Here are some ways to do it.

1. You know what we often need a break when we get tired. Similarly, the cloth gets tired too because of the harsh chemicals applied to it during dry cleaning. This also thin the fabric due to which it can tear off anytime. It is important to give some break to the fabric. First of all, make it clear that sunlight is very important for the clothes, so whenever washed put them in the sunlight.

2. Tough stains are seriously tough to remove. There is a certain number of chances that the cloth get stains that couldn’t get clear easily. Then rather focusing on entire cloth, focus on the stains majorly. What you can do is dilute some detergent solution and rub the spot with warm water. Then dab it with the sponge and rinse it off in cold water. Then let it dry in sun, notice the change later.

3. I have personally noticed that almost every label suggests dry cleaning. It is better to not to always follow the label. There are certain fabrics that really do not need dry cleaning. Fabrics like cotton, polyester or nylon and acrylic can be washed easily at home. But yes you need to see that you don’t use too harsh detergent on it.

4. You will be amazed knowing that kitchen things can help you well. Salt, vinegar, baking soda can be used to remove the stains and odor of the clothes. The work that bleach can do can be done through the kitchen kit as well. But you need to use them immediately for best results. 

5. Last but seriously not the least. During this washing process, clothes get rough and wrinkled, so it is better to steam it, through which the mild dirt can be removed and the fabric can hold its originality. There are some delicate fabrics that need not be washed in the machine, so steaming can be a good process for them.

I think that dry cleaning is pretty simple at home! Isn’t it? Try it once, you will love it.
