How to Do Dry Cleaning at Home?

Dry cleaning is a professional service that uses chemical solvents to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand water. While true dry cleaning requires specialized equipment and chemicals, there are some DIY methods you can try at home for minor cleaning needs.

Important Note: These methods may not be suitable for all fabrics and may not achieve the same results as professional dry cleaning. Always test any method in an inconspicuous area first to check for colorfastness and fabric damage.

Here are a few DIY methods for “dry cleaning” at home:

• Using Dry Cleaning Solvent:
  • You can purchase dry cleaning solvent at some hardware stores.
  • Follow the instructions on the solvent carefully.
  • Use a well-ventilated area and wear gloves.
  • Spot test the fabric before applying the solvent to the entire garment.
• Using Baking Soda:
  • Sprinkle baking soda generously on the affected area and let it sit for several hours or overnight.
  • Vacuum thoroughly to remove the baking soda.
  • This method can help absorb odors and remove minor stains.
• Using Cornstarch:
  • Similar to baking soda, cornstarch can absorb oil and grease stains.
  • Sprinkle cornstarch on the stain, let it sit for a few hours, then brush it off.
• Using White Vinegar:
  • For minor stains, you can try dabbing them with a cloth moistened with white vinegar.
  • Test the vinegar on an inconspicuous area first to check for colorfastness.

Remember:

• These are just a few DIY methods for minor cleaning needs.
• For delicate or valuable garments, it’s always best to entrust them to professional dry cleaners.
