What is wet cleaning — and why we use it.
You want your suit, dress, or coat back looking dry-cleaned. Wet cleaning is the modern, gentler method we use to get there — without perc, without a chemical smell, without irritating your skin.
The short version.
Traditional dry cleaning uses perchloroethylene ("perc") — a petroleum-based solvent that has been linked to skin irritation, headaches, and environmental concerns. It's also the source of that unmistakable "dry cleaner smell." Wet cleaning replaces perc with computer-controlled water, biodegradable detergents, and precise mechanical action tuned for each fabric. The finished result is the same: a clean, pressed garment ready to wear.
