3 Laundry Rules from a Dry Cleaner
Pretreating and washing rules from inside a real dry-cleaning plant — the blot-and-tamp technique, correct detergent dosing, and water-temperature guidance.
Laundry
Steps
- 1
Pretreat stains by blotting and tamping — press the treatment in, never rub, so the stain doesn't spread or set into the fibers.
- 2
Dose detergent at 1–2 tablespoons per load — more doesn't clean better, it just leaves residue.
- 3
Match water temperature to the job — follow the garment's care needs rather than defaulting to hot.
