Dry cleaning uses solvents instead of water to clean delicate and structured garments such as suits, woollens, silks and embellished wear, without shrinkage or colour loss. Here is how it works, what to check, and how brands compare.
A frequent complaint is being charged dry-clean rates for a normal wash and press. Others report stains not removed, colour bleeding, shrinkage, or items returned late. Choose a brand with consistent reviews on genuine dry cleaning.
Dry cleaning is priced per garment and varies by type and amount of work. Confirm the full price including GST upfront, and ask whether pickup and delivery are included.
Laundry uses water and detergent; dry cleaning uses solvents that are gentler on delicate and structured fabrics, avoiding shrinkage and colour loss. Use dry cleaning for suits, woollens and embellished wear.
Most delicates are safe, but always point out embellishments, prints or special fabrics so the service can adjust. Confirm the damage policy for expensive items.
Usually 2-4 days, with express options at some outlets. Get the date confirmed, since delays are a common complaint.
