Wikipedia

Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a solvent other than water.

Dry cleaning still involves liquid, but clothes are instead soaked in a water-free liquid solvent (usually non-polar, as opposed to water which is a polar solvent). Tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), known in the industry as "perc", is the most widely used solvent. Alternative solvents are 1-bromopropane and petroleum spirits.

Most natural fibers can be washed in water but some synthetics (e.g., viscose, lyocell, modal, and cupro) react poorly with water and should be dry-cleaned if possible.

The expression "dry cleaner" is used both for the shop providing dry cleaning service, and for the operator of the machine that performs the process.

4. Rebecca Loos wasn‘t trying to buy glamour so much as decorum when she fetched up in a Temperley dress, and that didn‘t wash either (the act, I mean, not the garment, though as a general rule, any clothing item with enough identity to die will be dry–clean only). Danniella Westbrook, when she bedecked herself as well as her child entirely in Burberry, was, on one level, staging a foot–stamping insistence on her own respectability; yet, in knowingly over doing it, she was rejecting, nay, mocking the world that judged her, even while she insisted she had played by its rules.
