Use of Water

With a wash-dry-fold service, the service providers put your laundry with water and detergent in a commercial washing machine, dry them and then fold them before returning to you nice and clean. In dry cleaning, the laundry experts inspect the clothes, treat them for stains and clean with a water-free chemical solvent. At last they steam the garments, press them to remove wrinkles.

Affordability

Wash-dry-fold service is much more affordable than dry cleaning because the laundry service providers charge you by the pound. Dry cleaning services are a bit costly as you are charged by the garment instead of the weight.

Gentle on Fabric

The chemicals used to dry clean your clothes can harm the fabrics over time. However, using wash-dry-fold services for your sports uniform laundry helps increase the longevity of the same as the process involves removing stains and everyday grime using water and mild detergents and this is gentle on the fabric. This method of cleaning is actually more effective than dry cleaning to remove sweat and oil from fabrics and is the best choice for dress shirts and cotton blouses.

Cleaning Natural Fibers

Dry cleaning is ideal for clothing made of natural fibers, like silk or wool. Water can cause the fibers in the fabric to become rigid and even cause the garment to shrink, fade or lose its shape. It is often a better way to clean certain stains as an experienced cleaner examines each garment to locate stains and determine the source to treat the stain with the appropriate non-aqueous solvent.
