What is the difference between wet cleaning and dry cleaning?

What is Dry Cleaning?
Dry cleaning is a method of removing stains and dirt from garments and fabric by using little or no water. Actually, dry cleaning is not "dry" as solvents, or liquids, are used to perform the cleaning, but with little water thus the term "dry".

Wet Cleaning and Dry Cleaning : What is the differences?
Dry cleaning means your garments are immersed or machine "washed" in a solvent mixture designed to prevent harm to natural fibers such as silk and wool. After the cleaning, the solvent is extracted taking the soil with it. Clothes are then dried and pressed. On the other hand, wet cleaning may be a solvent-and-water process, or water-and-commercial detergent. Again, the clothes are dried and then pressed.

Why choose wet cleaning over dry cleaning?
Professional wetcleaning is an important and increasingly popular service offered by clothes cleaners for the solvent-free care of garments.Professional wetcleaners have specialized equipment, skills and training to safely clean in water those garments previously cleaned in chemical solvents. Professional wetcleaning requires a range of techniques and technologies such as computer-controlled washers and dryers, the use of special soaps and conditions, and knowledge of fabrics and fibers.

As part of our initiatives of finding an alternative to clothes cleaning the Islamic way, we found out the approach of doing wet cleaning is much more preferred. First the usage of water and solvent-free detergent gives a peace of mind to the Islamic consumers. Moreover, wetcleaning is beneficial as it does not produce chemical smell, whiter whites, easier to remove water-based stains and some items come out cleaner. Wetcleaning is environmentally safer than traditional drycleaning for employees, for customers and for communities
