Laundry processes include washing (usually with water containing detergents or other chemicals), agitation, rinsing, drying, pressing (ironing), and folding. The washing will sometimes be done at a temperature above room temperature to increase the activities of any chemicals used and the solubility of stains, and high temperatures kill micro-organisms that may be present on the fabric. Agitation helps remove dirt which is usually mobilised by surfactants from between fibres, however, due to the small size of the pores in fibres, the 'stagnant core' of the fibres themselves see virtually no flow.
Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a solvent other than water.Dry cleaning still involves liquid, but clothes are instead soaked in a water-free liquid solvent, Main three type of solvent used in dry cleaning industry. MTO (Mineral turpentine Oil), Perchloroethylene, known in the industry as "perc." and Hydrocarbon.
In Wet Cleaning, Fabrics are cleaned with water and detergent in a computer-controlled washing machine with multiple fabric-specific cleaning programs. In advance Wet Cleaning machines, additional products are added to the washing drum, depending on the type of fabric being cleaned. These products protect fibres during drying, prevent dye bleeding, provide suppleness to leather, etc.
Spotting is selectively treating certain stains and garments before they undergo the cleaning process. This pre-treatment of stains known to be chemically soluble or water-soluble will immediately increase the quality of your cleaning process. Pre-spotting can easily be done between runs, having no impact on productivity. Pre-spotting can be done without steam (dry side) or with steam (wet side).
Ironing is the use of a machine, usually a heated tool (an iron), to remove wrinkles and unwanted creases from fabric. The heating is commonly done to a temperature of 180–220 ° depending on the fabric. Ironing works by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymer molecules in the fibers of the material. While the molecules are hot, the fibers are straightened by the weight of the iron.
