What Is Dry Cleaning?
Dry cleaning is a process of cleaning clothes and textile products without using water, using special chemical solvents instead. The term "dry" refers to the use of non-aqueous (apolar) solvents rather than water; the process is not entirely dry and is carried out with a liquid solution.
In traditional water-based washing, water binds to polar groups in fabric fibers, causing them to swell, stretch, and ultimately shrink. The solvents used in dry cleaning do not interact with fibers in this way. As a result, delicate materials such as wool, silk, velvet, satin, and leather are cleaned without deformation.
Dry cleaning is also highly effective at removing oil-based stains that are difficult to remove with water. Stubborn stains that everyday detergents cannot handle are easily cleaned through professional dry cleaning.
How Is Dry Cleaning Done?
Professional dry cleaning consists of meticulous stages that follow one another. Each step is carefully carried out at Dijidry's partner facilities.
After your garments are picked up from your door by our courier, they undergo a detailed preliminary inspection. The fabric type, stain condition, color sensitivity, and care label are all checked. Accessories such as zippers, buttons, and snaps are also assessed for durability.
Stubborn stains identified during inspection are treated separately on special spotting tables with appropriate chemicals before entering the machine. Different pre-treatment methods are applied for different stain types such as oil, ink, coffee, and wine.
Garments are then sorted by fabric type and color group and placed in the dry cleaning machine. They are cleaned with special water-free solvents at a specific temperature and spin speed. Cleaning time varies between approximately 8 to 15 minutes depending on the level of soiling.
After the cleaning cycle, garments are rinsed with purified clean solution. The machine then switches to drying mode; solvent residues are completely evaporated and recovered through hot air circulation. Modern dry cleaning machines operate on a closed-loop system, making them safe for both the environment and human health.
Finally, garments are pressed on professional steam ironing tables and presses, packaged in protective covers, and delivered to your address via the Dijidry courier network. You can track the entire process in real time through our mobile app. Place your order now.
Which Products Are Suitable for Dry Cleaning?
Dry cleaning is not limited to clothing alone; it is the safest cleaning method for many textile products. With Dijidry's dry cleaning service, we clean everyday and formal wear such as shirts, suits, evening dresses, jackets, coats, trench coats, blazers, trousers, sweaters, ties, and vests, as well as home textile products like curtains, bedspreads, quilts, and sofa covers.
Special occasion garments such as evening gowns, wedding dresses, tuxedos, and dinner jackets are typically made from delicate fabrics and can suffer irreversible damage when machine washed. Outerwear items like fur-collared coats, leather jackets, cashmere overcoats, and wool coats can also lose their shape when washed with water. Having them dry cleaned before storing at the end of the season significantly extends their lifespan.
Fabrics such as silk, satin, velvet, cashmere, angora, organza, chiffon, lace, and tulle can deform when exposed to water. Dry cleaning preserves the texture and color of these fabrics while providing safe cleaning. To check whether your garment is suitable for dry cleaning, look at the care symbols on its label. Letters inside a circle (A, F, P) indicate dry cleaning suitability and the type of chemical to be used; a crossed-out circle means the garment should not be dry cleaned.
Why Choose Professional Dry Cleaning?
While home washing is sufficient for many types of clothing, professional dry cleaning is essential in certain situations. During regular washing, water and detergent can wear out fabric fibers, fade colors, and cause shrinkage. Dry cleaning eliminates these risks, keeping your garments looking as good as new.
Tough stains such as oil, lipstick, ink, sweat rings, and wine often cannot be fully removed by household detergents. Professional stain treatment and special solvents effectively eliminate these stains. Additionally, the temperature and chemical process applied during dry cleaning also destroys bacteria and dust mites on fabrics, providing hygienic cleaning especially beneficial for those with allergy sensitivities.
The professional ironing performed after dry cleaning delivers a level of neatness and presentation quality that is difficult to achieve at home. You will notice a remarkable difference especially with suits, shirts, and evening dresses. With Dijidry, simply placing an online order is all it takes; your clothes are picked up from your door and delivered back clean.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Cleaning
What is the difference between dry cleaning and regular washing?
Regular washing uses water and detergent, while dry cleaning uses special chemical solvents instead of water. This allows delicate fabrics that could be damaged by water to be safely cleaned, oil-based stains to be removed more effectively, and garments to retain their shape.
How long does the dry cleaning process take?
At Dijidry, the standard dry cleaning turnaround time is generally 2-3 business days from pickup to delivery. An express cleaning option is also available for urgent needs.
Which garments should be dry cleaned?
All garments with a dry cleaning symbol (letter inside a circle) on their care label are suitable for dry cleaning. Additionally, dry cleaning is recommended for delicate or structured garments such as suits, evening dresses, overcoats, silk shirts, and cashmere sweaters.
Does dry cleaning damage clothes?
No. Professional dry cleaning cleans garments while preserving their fabric structure and color. On the contrary, some clothes risk shrinking, fading, or deforming when washed with water; dry cleaning eliminates these risks.
