The Dry cleaning process

Like many inventions, dry cleaning came about by accident. In 1855, Jean Baptiste Jolly, a French dye-works owner, noticed that his table cloth became cleaner after his maid accidentally overturned a kerosene lamp on it. Operating through his dye-works company, Jolly offered a new service and called it "dry cleaning."

Dry cleaning was developed in response to delicate fabrics that cannot be washed in a normal domestic machine. Also dry cleaning is used for shifting stains that water doesn't deal with very effectively, like oil-based paint.

When delicate fabrics are dry-cleaned they're immersed in a petroleum-based solvent, rather than water, which are very effective at removing oil and grease based stains. Traditionally kerosene or gasoline was used, however today perchloroethylene is the commonly used solvent.

Many delicate fabrics either shrink, loose colour or shape after being washed in water because of the reaction of their fibres with the molecules in water which form chemical bonds with individual molecules within each fibre . Dry cleaning overcomes these problems by leaving out water.
