How Does It Work? 

Dry cleaning is a professional laundering method that uses liquid chemical solvents instead of water to clean delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, cashmere, and other types of fabrics that are prone to shrinking when exposed to water. 

The most common type of solvent used is perchloroethylene (or "perc"), which is a non-flammable solvent known for its ability to dissolve grease and oil-based stains without causing damage or shrinkage. 

Other solvents include siloxanes, hydrocarbons, and liquid carbon dioxide. 

The dry cleaning process usually begins by sorting the clothes into different types of load sizes based on fabric type and color. 

This helps maximize the effectiveness of the solvent and reduce any potential damage or fading caused by exposure to too much heat or light. 

After sorting, each item is then inspected for any stains, spots, or marks that may need additional treatment before being put through the actual dry cleaning machine. 

Once pre-treated items are ready for cleaning. They are loaded into the machine, where they undergo an agitation cycle with highly regulated temperatures. During this process, the tumbling action helps remove dirt and dust from the fabrics while also helping penetrate solvents deep into the fibers to help break down tough stains effectively. 

Afterward, all garments are rinsed with a slightly acidic neutralizing solution that removes any residual solvent left in the clothes after drying them thoroughly at high temperatures inside an industrial-grade tumbler dryer or steam press machine. 

Finally, items are finished with either hand pressing or steaming to look as good as new! 

The Benefits of Using a Professional Dry Cleaning Service  

1. Convenience: 

Dry cleaning services offer pick-up and delivery of garments, taking the hassle out of bringing your clothing to and from the store. This makes it easier to get your items cleaned without having to take time out of your day. 

Additionally, many dry cleaners provide same-day service for those who need their clothes back in a hurry. 

2. Reliability:

Experienced staff at professional dry cleaners know how to handle delicate fabrics, ensuring the best possible results for your clothing items. 

Professional dry cleaning services have specialized equipment that is designed specifically for cleaning fabrics that are prone to shrinkage or discoloration when washed with water. 

This means you can trust that your items are handled by professionals with expertise and care. 

3. Better Results: 

Traditional laundry methods may only be able to remove some stains or provide satisfactory results on certain types of fabric. 

Dry cleaning is far more effective in restoring garments to their original condition and maintaining fabric quality over time. 

The solvents used help break down tough stains, while the high temperatures used during the drying process helps sanitize textiles effectively and efficiently, leaving them hygienic and refreshed after each treatment. 

4. Cost Savings: 

While professional dry cleaning can seem expensive upfront, it often proves cheaper than replacing clothing items due to poor traditional laundering results or accidents such as shrinkage or discoloration. 

In addition, regular use of dry cleaning can prolong the life cycle of your garments significantly, making them last much longer than if they were only washed with water at home.

Dry cleaning can help make your clothes look like new again. It uses special liquids that are not water to clean the fabric. These liquids can remove tough stains without ruining the fabric, so it looks good and lasts longer. 

The process also helps to sanitize textiles, getting rid of germs and bacteria that can damage clothing. Dry cleaning is especially effective for delicate fabrics prone to shrinkage when washed with water. 

It even works on more sturdy fabrics such as denim or cotton since the solvents penetrate deep into the fibers to break down tough stains effectively. 

Here’s How We Do It

At OrangeBag, we believe in providing a superior dry cleaning experience that not only cleans your clothing but also extends its lifespan, saving you money in the long run. By using special solvents to eliminate robust stains and high temperatures to sanitize textiles, we ensure your clothes come out looking refreshed and hygienic.

Our meticulous six-step process sets us apart from traditional dry cleaning methods. We've crafted this unique approach to deliver exceptional cleaning results without the unpleasant lingering odor associated with dry cleaning. Here's our step-by-step guide:

STEP 1: Identifying Your Items

We tag your clothes right at the beginning to keep track of them throughout the cleaning process. This ensures no mix-ups, and each client receives their items accurately.

STEP 2: Detailed Inspection

Before the cleaning starts, our professionals thoroughly examine each garment. From checking the pockets for hidden items to spotting any wear and tear, we ensure all items are returned in the best possible condition.

STEP 3: Spotting and Treating Stains

Each garment is scrutinized for stubborn stains that require special treatment. Stain removal techniques vary depending on the type of stain. Our dry-cleaning solvent, heat, or vacuum treatment effectively addresses these stains, ensuring your clothes can undergo repeated cleaning without fading or looking worn out.

STEP 4: The Actual Dry Cleaning

Garments are grouped according to color and manufacturer's cleaning recommendations before being placed in the dry-cleaning machine. 

Unlike most dry cleaners that use potentially harmful petroleum-based solvents, OrangeBag uses sand-based liquid silicone, a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative. 

Post-cleaning, garments are rinsed with fresh solvent and dried according to the manufacturer's instructions. The result? Clothes that are not just clean but also fresh-smelling.

STEP 5: Post-Cleaning Inspection

This stage involves re-inspecting garments for any residual stains, which are then removed using steam, vacuuming, or water as required.

STEP 6: Finishing Touches

We put the final touches on your garments to ensure they're ready to wear as soon as you receive them. After pressing, all items undergo one last inspection before they're packaged and set for delivery.
