Description

Did you know that we spend more money on washing and dry cleaning clothes than the amount we part with when busying them? That can’t be right, especially in developing countries where financial resources are scarce; that’s why we congratulate you for deciding to learn how to dry clean clothes yourself. Dry cleaning is the process of using specialized techniques and equipment to clean suits and special types of clothing effectively without water. The most common solvent used in dry cleaning suits is perchloroethylene, also known as perc. Other solvents that may be used include hydrocarbon and silicone-based solvents. These solvents are effective in removing dirt, oil, and stains from fabrics without using water. Opening your own dry cleaning business can have several benefits. For example, it can provide a stable source of income as there is always a demand for dry cleaning services. Additionally, you have the opportunity to be your own boss and set your own schedule. Running a dry cleaning business can also allow you to build strong relationships with customers in your community and provide a valuable service to them. Overall, owning a dry cleaning business can be a rewarding and profitable venture. This course will give you a detailed explanation of the process you will have to follow:
