Why Dry Cleaning Is Better Than Laundry Wash?

Singapore recently has been overtaken by globalization and many of the Singaporeans find themselves travelling abroad at most times to attend to business matters or just for holiday. Many find themselves engaged in daily hustles and bustles of life such as work that they end up so tired and exhausted at the end of the day. This new trend of life has made more Singaporeans to embrace laundry services. First, there is no enough time for one to wash and iron clothes for the next use and the exhaustion cannot also allow for such kind of services. Many therefore take their clothes for laundry services: dry cleaning or laundry washing.

Laundry washing involve using detergents such as soap and soap powder and water as the main solvent. Dry cleaning in Singapore is not done using water; instead chemicals are used for cleaning. The common chemical used by Singapore dry cleaners is perchloroethylene. The chemical is used before washing or can be used during the washing depending on the clothe fabric. Most Singaporeans prefer dry cleaning to laundry washing due to the several benefits it has. Comparing the two laundry services, it is clear that the dry cleaning benefits far much outweigh those of laundry washing.

– Prevention of fabric fading and bleeding of colors
Water tends to cause some fabrics to fade, especially those made with dyes that are non-waterproof. When these fabrics are cleaned using water, they bleed and fade; losing color. However, Singapore dry cleaners use chemicals that prevent bleeding and fading, ensuring your fabric retains its original color for a long time. 

– Retention of clothing texture

The processes and chemical solvents used by Singapore dry cleaners help to retain the structure and texture of fabrics. Clothes with varying textures are treated differently with the appropriate processes and solvents to ensure it is properly cleaned. You can be sure to retain the texture of the fabric by dry cleaning rather than laundry washing.

– Minimization of wear and tear of fabric

In dry cleaning, there is no much rubbing of the clothes as in the case with laundry washing. This reduces the chances of wear and tear occurring to the fabric as a result of washing. The chemical solvents as well as the use of the modern washing machines and processes also ensure that stains on the garments are all removed in a gentle manner. This can help improve the life durability of some delicate fabrics, while keeping your clothes smelling fresh.

– Reduces fabric shrinkage

There are some garments that shrink when washed with water in the laundry washing services. However, this not always the case with Singapore dry cleaners since the solvents used help in minimizing shrinkage in all fabric types. Dry cleaning is therefore the best to ensure your fabric’s finish is not altered.

– Dry cleaning is more convenient

Most Singapore dry cleaners offer doorstep pickup and delivery of laundry. Given the busy schedule of many Singaporeans, it is therefore the best option. You just contact the cleaners and they would pickup the laundry and return it at the promised time. Furthermore, dry cleaning is very fast and one does not need to wait a long time to get back the laundry.

Dry cleaning benefits can actually not be compared with laundry washing. Though it is expensive, you will realize it is very economical in the long run; saving you time and even money. You have fresh, neat, clean and well pressed laundry faster without any alterations to the fabric. The pickup and delivery services by Singapore dry cleaning are also very affordable while others even offer them for free as an after-service.
