What is the process of dry cleaning by petrol is thre any machine used?
Dear Student,
Drycleaning is a process that cleans the clothes without water. Petrol or perchloroethylene abbreviated "perc" is used.
The steps involved in this process are:
- Garments are placed into a washing chamber of dry-cleaning machine
- The washing chamber contains a drum and shell. The shell holds the solvent petrol while the rotating drum holds the clothes.
- The solvent is passed through a filtration chamber and then fed back. This is called washing cycle
- At the end of the wash cycle, the machine starts a rinse cycle
- After the rinse cycle, the machine begins the extraction process, which recovers dry-cleaning solvent for reuse.
- Then, machine starts the drying cycle followed by aeration cycle.
- Finally, the garments are clean and ready for pressing/finishing.
