Solvents for dry cleaning

Not all items can be wet-treated in washing machines. Many products made of fine and delicate fabrics, natural wool, leather and fur need dry cleaning. It is performed using professional equipment and special preparations, without which it is impossible to eliminate contamination. These include solvents. Let's look at what they are and how they work.

Types of solvents

There are several types of solvents for dry cleaning. Today, the following drugs are used to dissolve impurities.

• Perchloroethylene. The most studied and frequently used solvent, which is not capable of self-ignition and does not require special storage conditions. It easily penetrates into the fibers of fabrics and quickly destroys impurities, including the most persistent and complex ones. It is mainly used for textile and leather processing.
• Department of Internal Affairs. A hydrocarbon solvent for dry cleaning, which has more pronounced cleaning properties than perchloroethylene. Effectively removes stains, provided that things are pre-prepared.
• SOLVONK4. Biodegradable halogen-free solvent with excellent cleaning ability. It has a high degree of environmental safety, perfectly copes with pigmented and fatty spots.
• Silicone D5. An innovative silicone-based solvent, environmentally friendly and odorless. It is effective in cleaning expensive delicate fabrics and natural fur of various types, products made of combined fabrics with complex decor of metals and beads.

The most suitable preparation is selected taking into account the composition of the fabric, the type of contamination, and the complexity of the decoration of the item. When used correctly, all dry cleaning solvents can produce excellent results.
