How Does Modern Dry Cleaning Work
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Dry cleaning is a process of cleaning clothes that uses a solvent instead of water. The solvent is usually a petroleum-based chemical, and the clothes are tumbled in the solvent to remove stains. The solvent is then removed from the clothes, and the clothes are pressed to remove wrinkles.

I've sat through the whole video, I felt like I just graduated from Laundry Academy. This video was beyond my expectations. Amazing!
Since a child I have been wondering how this is done. So many hours of speculation. This morning I wake up and decide I've had enough. I'm gonna find out today, one way or another.
So thank you!
Same lol
😂 😂
Lol this comment is so relatable! I just woke up at 8am on a Sunday and once again starting imagining just how they do it. Then I had the same thought as you, today's the day I'm going to find out!
Same😂 today❤
Excellent presentation. I have always had a fascination with all technology. This video gives me a whole new level of respect and admiration for all those involved with this amazing cleaning process. The scientists, chemists, engineers, craftsmen, and the dry cleaning industry workers all have my deepest respect.
Thank you cameraman for going back in time to get the clips and information for us!
My first job was at a laundromat in a small town. I learned a lot there. They did wet and dry cleaning (mostly for hospitals), but used older methods, machines, and technology. Based on what I have learned after watching this video and from what I have heard over the years, they lost a lot of business due to the inability to innovate with modern technology. Customers were not happy with their 'cleaned' garments. Their individual customers and contracts with businesses began to dwindle. They didn't make any changes or learn from the industry of new improvements. In the end, they lost it all. I knew the owner and his wife (sadly no longer with us) as well as his family. Sad to see it happen, but also interesting to see what the modern industry is like today.
thanks for the comment
What was their main issue exactly? They weren’t cleaning clothes well enough?
@@bethestandardallday A combination of things. Not using enough chemicals and stuffing too many clothes in the washers resulted in many complaints. They still weren't clean. Another is it was in a small town. Not a lot of businesses to offer your services to. And finally, many companies started doing their own washing in-house.
This might actually be the best educational video I have ever seen. Really outstanding work, this is an achievement!
This was amazingly in depth education about Dry Cleaning. Wow!
;) u hav NOo iydeuh hhheeehheeh

ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT: THOMAS JENNINGS invented a process called 'dry scouring,' a forerunner of modern dry cleaning. He patented the process in 1821, making him likely the first black person in America to receive a patent.
Get it Correct..
Thank you for pointing this out!!
Thanks for commenting!
Excellent presentation with great know how of the dry cleaning - I never thought, this is such a complex process. Wonderful !
this is television level documentary🔥
Seems like it might’ve been in Russian TV
This education is worth paying for. Brilliant.
I would like to thank the camera for working so hard to driver this piece of art
I really liked the info on Clothes labels and the difference between Organic (hydrocarbon) Solvents and TetraChloroEtheline.
Thank you for sharing the whole process with us! It was worth watching! I've noticed that many companies, such as OXXO Care Cleaners, are now adopting eco-friendly technology and discontinuing the use of harsh chemicals in their cleaning processes. They're also providing 24/7 pick-up and drop-off services, as well as same-day laundry services.
thanks for the comment
Thanks for translating this video into English because the characters in the video lips are not synchronizing with the video. That's an indication that this video was recorded in it's original non english language.🤔.
It was originally in Russian
I can't believe they removed the buttons from the items 😮
1:53 Still dry cleaning the clothes from Chernobyl I see 😅
I expected to watch a show about just cleaning garments in solvents like Naptha. I was very pleasantly surprised. Thank you...
a very professional and attractive video production.
thank you
I love this video so brilliantly made ☺️
Dry cleaners today use starch and Perchloroethylene or "Perc" as it's know in the Dry Cleaning industry. Sometimes, they will use Natural Gas as a cleaner in the machine. Also, dry cleaners use a ton of steam too. So much in fact, they use a massive boiler, like 10 to 20 ton boilers. I have been inside so many boiler rooms, and every single one of them gets really hot. In the winter time, it's not so bad. In the summertime, however, its awful. It gets up to 140 degrees, (or 60C.), in there. They also have water heaters in that room too. You only get 15 minutes inside so whatever you're repairing better get done quick in those hot summer days.
So the clothes basically get tumble soaked in harsh solvents?
Sort of. Some solvents are much less harsh. It depends on the clothes really on how dry cleaners clean them.
I don't think my dry cleaners does all of this. It seems they throw it in, put it on a hanger, and call it a day. lol
Actually, it's a ton more involved than you might think. First, it gets sorted, and tagged so it doesn't get lost in the process. Second, we clean it in either wet or dry cleaning machines. Third, the product is steam pressed, folded, and ironed. After that, the clothes are bagged, placed on the racks, and you pick it up. All these processes use employees, and a ton of manual work.
This is really an excellent (Russian?) presentation. The details, processes and people involved in dry cleaning are complicated to someone like me who just throws his laundry in the washer and dryer. Is the solvent used repeatedly or just once? It would seem that dry cleaners would have to work with large volumes of clothes to be commercially viable. Thank you
Nice video , a bit curious why we don't make regular home laundry machines. Drywash safe with that chemical tetrachloroethylene. Then just sell tetrachloroethylene so you can drywash at home in the rare cases you need to do a few suits.
The chemicals and technology involved require distilling machinery, which are both difficult to maintain and dangerous. A customer friendly micro-distiller haven't been figured out yet.
Because the solvent is highly, highly regulated by the EPA and every state in the union along with some cities and counties. We have inspectors that visit the cleaners regularly to keep an eye out that we have no violations such as spills or solvent vapors in the air. Some states have banned it altogether. If you've used it presently or previously you have to have a phase 1 and phase 2 environmental study done before you can sell your property. So this is why you can't use it at home. I've worked in the industry for 40 plus years.
@@cleophusfowler This is correct. And I'm only a 5 year operator at the moment. All our machines require frequently changed carbon to reduce vapor, constant changing of the filters, all kinds of stuff. It's hard to imagine any way a home consumer could safely or reliably perform even a single clean and waste disposal of the leftover solvent. And then there'd be a whole other waste disposal industry surrounding that for consumers that would be extremely headache inducing.
Are there ever times where more cost effective dry cleaners skip steps? I looked up about the odd smell of dry cleaning sometimes. I purchase second hand clothing often and hoped the nicer stuff is getting a good cleaning at the dry cleaners.
I'm impressed
Excellent & fantastic 👍👍 experience & explanation 👍
very very informational and funny too👏
Very good video.
Nice video 👌👍
Thanks
I love listening to this well tuned ai. It's hilarious to hear it attempt to sound like documentary narrator.
thats not ai !
How can these items go through so many processes and hands and still be remembered which owners they each belong to?
Incredible video in nigga my opinion very informative
Excellent and very good learning experience for me outstanding
Excellent service 👏
ahhhhh labels... nowadays I tend to cut off all the labels because they are stiff, long and a few layers of them! I hate it! It makes it uncomfortable to wear especially when the labels are where I tuck in my blouse or shirt!!!
Wow amazing video👍
sound of torque oscillations once crunk balances not outweighs beard strums in audio
Wikipedia says faraday is falsely credited with the synthesis of tetrachloroethylene
Bullshit Wikipedia. Who invented it then?
@@OneAdam12Adam sounds like you've already made up your mind that it was Faraday. Have fun with that. *shrug*
Were did u get all this machines from ???
The mommy milkers were an unexpected but welcomed surprise.
I didn't know there are still people who bring their shirts or pants for wet cleaning to such as high-end large cleaning facility. With newer generation fewer people would do that.
It's a hotel
Hello , I would love to start a dry-cleaning business, Anyone knows where can I get this machine?
everywhere they aren't ceap
I want to visit this shop
I feel cheated. In my native language there's shops that are called "chemical launderettes" and I've always assumed it was something different from the Anglophone dry cleaners.
What language, what is the word ?
The intro was a bit annoying, but great information given throughout. Thanks
Am very interested to do it in my home town but I don't actually know much it will cost me to start and getting all those machines may you help me please.
I had a cotton welding jacket that you couldn't wash as it would ruin the flame retardance.
Lol retardance

Nice
Thanks
So you get the hangers for free or you have to give them back?
You get em for free
Not going to try this but a bit curious what would happen if you dump either mineral spirit , turpentine, kerosene ,...etc into you washing machine and just shut off the water supply lines to the washing machine. Humm apart from not disposing properly into the sewer ,would it work like a dry cleaning home machine. Obviously toxic , not safe , and flammable but if you can succeed with those I image you should be able just to get tetrachloroethylene and do it with that. Which would be non-flammable, safer , ...
Improper disposal of the chemicals and ruining your washing machine would be the most likely issues. You might be able to air dry the clothes after a few days on a line, but putting them in a dryer would be hazardous. Just a bad idea in general.
How can I find it ....

How about the maid? I want to know what happened to her…
Basically what I am getting at is what makes a dry cleaning washing machine so different then a home or regular washing machine other then the detergent/ solvent you add ? Is temp regulation an issue , disposal of the solvent not down a sewer pipe ,... ??? What makes it impractical for homes ?
You don't want consumers handling those chemicals. If they somehow get into the water course they can cause havoc
@@yogiontour You don't want some people handling dishwashing liquid. They do stupid things like putting it in an automatic dishwasher
I survived 27 years.........glad to be done.
What didn't you like about the business? I'm thinking of getting a job in the field.
@@mrmonroe9143 The 27 years part. 😆 But keeping and knowing your machines are running propery was always stressful.
This can be a 3 mins video
Glossed over and not really true. The dangers and huge health risks of modern dry cleaning are horrendous, and are all very real. You've never dealt with carcinogens like the ones shown here. Aqua cleaning, and brand new forms of dry cleaning are safer, but not completely healthy.
What are the dangers of aqua cleaning?

“HOW DOES MODERN DRY CLEANING WORK” is the name of the video… I saw 40 minutes of brain numbing RUBBISH aimed at very young children, and the video went deep into great detail about everything that is NOT RELATED TO DRY CLEANING.
A COMPLETE waste of time, content creators need to USE ACCURATE VIDEO TITLES!!!!
Sorry, but what is the correct title in your opinion?
Can I ask you for job opportunities
Wow
I agree with last comment from one year ago
What was the original language ?
Something Eastern-European
Time wasting
It was actually a slave that invented dry cleaning, Look it up, he just stole his invention.
If my cow makes milk, is it not my milk? You own what your property produces.
@@hasanturkovic9049 stfu! humans shouldn’t be owned nor their ideas should be stolen
@@hasanturkovic9049 No, you are stealing their milk. That milk was meant for their calf.
But props for recognising animal slavery.
This has absolutely nothing to do with science.
Why yall steal this footage from another country in Dub your voice over it
