Leather cleaning
Leather clothes for motorcycles, leather jackets or trousers need to be brought to a special dry cleaner that cleans the leather material chemically. There, everything is cleaned, painted and lubricated with special products. Usually the leather is lubricated in the washing machine, if it is still not greasy enough, it is applied by hand. If the leather is bleached or does not have a continuous color, the clothes are sprayed with paint. In some cases, it is possible to clean the leather by water without the use of chemicals - ecologically.Feather cleaning
The feathers are cleaned in a wet way, because if cleaned in a dry way (chemically) they would cause an odor. Feather jackets and duvets are dried after a wet bath with tennis balls so the feathers are fluffy. Greasy feathers can cause black dots on its cover. Black feathers can then be visible on a light jacket as they will be seen through due to its color. Some feather down jackets cannot be dried in the dryer, but they still have to dry out, because otherwise the feathers would stick together and stale. However, our staff will tell you all about it.Fur parts of jackets and coats
The fur collar looks beautiful, but you must pay really good attention to it not to burn it when drying. The collar is either detached and dried separately or if it cannot be detached from the jacket, the jacket must be dried at a drying temperature which is less than 70 °C.Sheep wool cleaning
The wool is usually cleaned chemically, but there is an exception - merino wool, which is cleaned in a wet way. A special detergent is used when cleaning merino wool - Lanolin. The wool is washed at 30 °C so as not to lose its features.Fur cleaning
The procedure is similar for furs, which can often be used instead of carpets. If you have fur in front of the couch at home, it may happen that your lovely dog pees on such a "carpet". Unfortunately, urine is an aggressive fluid and can cause bits of fur to fall out. The same thing happens when the bottom of the fur is damaged, old or otherwise damaged. Furs are cleaned chemically, so after cleaning, the furs can smell like chemicals.Silk washing
Silk blouses and scarves are cleaned in a wet way, gently and at a low temperature, otherwise they would be destroyed. Sometimes dry chemical cleaning is also used on them, but when sweat gets on the silk, you can't get rid of it in any way. If sweat soaks in the area of armpits, it disrupts the structure and it can also make little holes. If necessary, silk clothes are placed in nets so that the fabric does not tear in the washing machine.Nets for jackets
To keep jackets and other clothes in the washing machine safe, special nets are used to prevent damages to the zipper, applications and other accessories. During cleaning, artificial buttons could dissolve and stick to the fabric. This can be prevented by using button caps that are clicked onto the button and those do not dissolve or bake.Sportswear
Majority of sportswear and outdoor clothing is made out of functional materials. Sometimes even from gore tex. Those are cleaned wet and are only lightly dried. They are always washed at very low temperature. After washing, it is time for impregnation or finishing.The difference between finishing and impregnation
Impregnation - firstly there is a washing and only then it is time for impregnation in the washing machine (special program for impregnation), then the clothes are dried.Finishing - it is applied only to clothes cleaned chemically - dry cleaned clothes are placed on a board, which sucks on the clothes and then a finishing is sprayed on it, which must then be ironed.
A fabric softener is a special chapter. It is added to clothes only if you prefer for it to be added. However, a water softener is automatically added to the washing machine. The laundry does not smell or stink after washing, but it is very soft to the touch. Ironing is also a matter of course, thanks to which your clothes will look great when they are returned to you.
How do we clean stains?
For stains, it is necessary to always determine what they are from and then the cleaning procedure is determined accordingly. Various products are used when something is just soiled, so first a soap is used to pre-wash the stains. When the stain is more resistant (blood, red wine, coffee, etc.), special stain removers are used. The product is applied to the stain directly and then it is sprayed. However, speed is very important when you have stains, so it is necessary to clean it as soon as possible. You can read how you can get rid of stains at home in our article about the most common stains.How long does cleaning take in the dry cleaners?
