When I was a child, my aunt and uncle used to own & operate a dry cleaners in Brooklyn where we lived. Thanks for explaining the mystery to me as to what they were doing down there!
Would you recommend dry cleaning for vintage black concert tour shirts? Im beyond paranoid about fading. A lot of the shirts I’ve bought for the second time in my life, might not be as easy to find them a third time down the line so I’ve actually begun to consider dry cleaning for my shirt collection.
@@denverdanoreno the tabs on most of these shirts that have the garment care instructions appear to all have the no dry cleaning symbol. So I’ve pretty much resorted to hand washing and hang drying my collection.
This was one of the things I used to wonder about when I was a curious kid from the third world (there were a lot of "dry cleaning only" labeled salvage clothes). Forgot about it when I grew up and watching a movie just now triggered that old curiosity. Finding out nothing about it being dry was anti-climactic though.
The reason it is called "Dry-cleaning" is because the clothes go in dry and come out dry. Home washers are water and detergent based where clothes go in dry, gets wet, and comes out wet.
Jane Leelavathi This is not why. It is because it does not use water. Some dry cleaners don’t use a 2-in-1 process. Some dry cleaners take them out of the washing machines wet and transfer them to an actual dryer machine - just like most homes. Again, it’s because water is not used, but a solvent.
One of my first jobs in the early 2000's was as a front-end clerk at a dry cleaner's. I prepared orders in the computer, tagged the individual pieces, and sent them to those who worked the machines. When the clothes returned, I had to manually reassemble orders by searching through all the tags. The crinkled up, deformed, pain in the behind little tags. Then, bagged it up and put it on the front conveyer to wait for pick-up. OMG, I am SO jealous of there being a handheld scanner now!
The organic solvent he’s talking about is called TCE. There’s another one I think called PERC. They’re the leading cause for contaminated soil and groundwater across the country. It’s carcinogenic. Practice used to be to take filters outside and hose them down with water to clean them. This became runoff into the local soil and waterways.
I remember when I was younger before internet age, I wondered how dry cleaning works. Then I grew up and forgot about it. And now not only I know the answer, but I was reminded to that forgotten question. What a time and age to be living in..
In the movie, Popeye, starring Robin Williams. Popeye calls Bluto ‘chicken of the sea’, when Bluto is swimming away. That’s the only time I’ve heard the saying.
he says it smells delicious becouse if you would have smell like that with the old chemical that all dry cleaners used to use which is called perc he would have passed out right there

i once contracted scabies from wearing a band uniform in college😔. they were supposed to be dry clean only. i suspect it hadnt been cleaned after the previous season\last game or maybe someone with scabies had tried on the uniform during fitting. idk. after that happened, whenever they would give us our uniforms the evening before the game, i washed mine in the washing machine with cold water and regular detergent. the band uniforms are a thick, stiff fabric so it was just fine.

I run a dry cleaners.. solvent is highly toxic, first rule when dry cleaning is you do not leave that door open as the emissions of solvent can cause dizziness, sickness and in extreme cases death. The fact he smelt them AS soon as they came out shows me he probably doesn’t dry clean himself but managers the store which is fine but smelling it after etc is just so toxic. The machine completely soaks the clothes in solvent which then heats up and the remaining solvent is vaporised. The dry cleaning machine is really smart and if business insider wants a look at dry cleaning further I’m sure Timpson or Johnson Cleaners would be happy to give an in-depth view on how it all operators and how it’s run!☺️

@@MyFortressConstruction Only too well! But this "social" phase can even happen earlier: For many people, there's a point in your late 20s to early 30s when all of your friends will be getting married, so dry cleaning is the way to go to keep using the same few "occasion" pieces over and over again (where I'm from, you don't expect guests to spend as much for a wedding as I know to be the case in the US, for example).
I bought this dry cleaning at home kit, where you put you spray the problem areas of your garment with a solution. Then you put the garment in a bag with wet dry sheet like cloth and put it the dryer. I thought this was how clothes was dry cleaned, since it is technically dry. Since I had the at home version, I hardly get stuff dry cleaned at the Laundry mat. Very interesting to learn it’s placed in a solution and maybe it’s good to get it done professionally!
The at home kit is still great for in-between professional cleaning and for items not worn on the skin, like wool coats. Dry cleaning is expensive on the regular.
Thank you for the thorough and concise explanation. I just got a great deal on a very expensive suit, now I feel relieved to know that the dry cleaning process also sanitizes laundry.
Watching videos like this shows the huge gap between Industries in developed countries to developing countries. Here in Nigeria, DRYCLEANING business are mostly small or medium scale, mostly manually handled and not this mechanized , the cost of these equipments over here is a huge barrier. This disparity in scaling/ industrializing tells on the economy as well. We have a long way to go.
@@Daniel-vs7qm Well, unlike you , I have a working Brain and can compete globally without needing to scam people off their hard earned money.. people pay me for my skills..
You’re reading this comment because you have thought about youtubing this video for years out of curiosity, but everyday you thought of it you forgot to look it up. Now here you are, fulfilling your wish to see how dry cleaning works.
But you didn't mention which hydrocarbon (solvent) you use. For us students learning chemistry it is pretty interesting, even if you give its IUPAC name. XD
I was wondering the same im guessing its a pressurized hydrocarbon like butane or propane that could easily evaporate with little to no smell after the excess is taken out of the machine and restored
I don’t think the guy in the video is informed - he said the chemical is called organic because it comes from the earth. How stupid is that. Any high school chemistry student knows organic means the compound is carbon based.
Just amazing and satisfying to watch. Thanks for this sir. I’ve opened a small pressing of one machine and I believe with time it’ll go miles. The video is very inspiring 😊
I remember taking my rotc uniform for dry cleaning and I swear they never washed it. I took into the same place twice and it looked exactly the same. The sweat stains still there and smelled like my perfume still. I felt like I wasted my money. Decided to just take the chance and wash it in my own laundry.
Love how we’re all here for the same reason😂 glad I wasn’t the only one curious about this for a while. I said today is going to be the day I finally find out what dry cleaning is
If it’s literally just going into a washing machine with something other than detergent why can’t we just buy whatever that shit is and do it in our own machines?...
It’s a bunch of carcinogenic, nasty chemical solvent. Not something you can exactly just run through your domestic washing machine. Half of the appeal of dry cleaning is that you skip all of these laborious steps anyways. You simply drop off the dirty stuff and walk away with the clean.
I always thought that dry cleaning involved a special “dry” process, it always boggled my mind. My next video is how does the fridge light turn off when you shut the door, I’m excited.
What they don’t tell you is that the solvent actually doesn’t get completely removed and there is potential health hazards associated with perchloroethylene, a carcinogen that dissolves into your home’s air and is even worse for the people working there.
It is funny how so many people don't know how dry cleaning works, but it sort of never comes up in casual banter, nor we never experience the sense of urgency to google it in years. I can't believe today is the day I looked it up!
Its 3:24 am here, and this high man (me) randomly thought of how dry cleaning works. Turned my phone on (just for this) and now I am here. Life works in mysterious ways.

He means it smells good.
Damian Bennett-Melendez 😂🤦🏼♂️
Interesting, well-made, and to-the-point. Dare I say, the perfect UA-cam video?
agree
Holy mother Mary of God I’m soaking in the knowledge. I’m gonna sleep so much better because I now have something other than Covid to analyze.
Helps make the process less mysterious! Thanks, Wayne!
Watching videos like this shows the huge gap between Industries in developed countries to developing countries.
Here in Nigeria, DRYCLEANING business are mostly small or medium scale, mostly manually handled and not this mechanized , the cost of these equipments over here is a huge barrier. This disparity in scaling/ industrializing tells on the economy as well.
We have a long way to go.
Don't be silly lol there is no dry cleaning in Nigeria! They don't even have laundromats!
@@Daniel-vs7qm Your ignorance reeks , and I can smell it from Nigeria....Do you want a tour of Nigeria to fix your preset assumptions?
@@johnfisayo how many innocent people did you have to scam so you can even have internet connection?
@@Daniel-vs7qm Well, unlike you , I have a working Brain and can compete globally without needing to scam people off their hard earned money.. people pay me for my skills..
never expected such comedic element from a video like this , 25yrs late but here i am
I love the internet. It’s like anytime you put your face in any video or picture be prepared to have people roast every tiny thing you do lmao
Even I think the same, I haven't found a single video on youtube whose comment sction wasn't trying hard to make me laugh.
You’re reading this comment because you have thought about youtubing this video for years out of curiosity, but everyday you thought of it you forgot to look it up. Now here you are, fulfilling your wish to see how dry cleaning works.
So I am not the only one who waited my entire life to check how dry cleaning works 😄
Given the number of views, it appears over a million of us wondered how dry cleaning works lol
Amazing! Thanks. Besides you seem so happy and passionate about your job, love it!
I always thought the clothes were sprayed with a cleaning chemical (hence all the moving racks). Interesting to see the actual process.
A simple easy explanation. Exactly what I was looking for and now I have some trivia if I’m talking to someone
I woke up thinking how dry cleaning works. Thanks for explaining
Lol I had no clue that’s how it’s done. All my time I thought my military uniform were getting done a way different way. That’s super neat
But you didn't mention which hydrocarbon (solvent) you use. For us students learning chemistry it is pretty interesting, even if you give its IUPAC name. XD
Ateeque Mohamed Ali is petroleum they get from exxon or chevron
I was wondering the same im guessing its a pressurized hydrocarbon like butane or propane that could easily evaporate with little to no smell after the excess is taken out of the machine and restored
I don’t think the guy in the video is informed - he said the chemical is called organic because it comes from the earth. How stupid is that. Any high school chemistry student knows organic means the compound is carbon based.
@@prakhartheg not everyone.
Generally kerosene
The explanation of the process was simple and easy to understand. Thanks
I didn't know the clothes got wet lo
yup..me too :)
MINAH THE CHAMPION
@MINAH THE CHAMPION: It's nice to educate yourself. I'm sure you believe in gods and angels too....maybe unicorns?
MINAH THE CHAMPION then your dumb
@@prettyprudent5779 There definitely is a God and Angel's. You'll find yourself calling on him sooner than later. No need for a response !!!!!!
Just amazing and satisfying to watch. Thanks for this sir. I’ve opened a small pressing of one machine and I believe with time it’ll go miles. The video is very inspiring 😊
I remember taking my rotc uniform for dry cleaning and I swear they never washed it. I took into the same place twice and it looked exactly the same. The sweat stains still there and smelled like my perfume still. I felt like I wasted my money. Decided to just take the chance and wash it in my own laundry.
Love how we’re all here for the same reason😂 glad I wasn’t the only one curious about this for a while. I said today is going to be the day I finally find out what dry cleaning is
You don't know what I'm here for pal
If it’s literally just going into a washing machine with something other than detergent why can’t we just buy whatever that shit is and do it in our own machines?...
There are home dry cleaning kits that you can buy online. Idk how good they are though
It’s a bunch of carcinogenic, nasty chemical solvent. Not something you can exactly just run through your domestic washing machine. Half of the appeal of dry cleaning is that you skip all of these laborious steps anyways. You simply drop off the dirty stuff and walk away with the clean.
Service is an art form. The most delicate part of sales.
"You, sir, do you know what dry cleaning is?"
"No-"
"OF COURSE NOT!!!"
I always thought that dry cleaning involved a special “dry” process, it always boggled my mind.
My next video is how does the fridge light turn off when you shut the door, I’m excited.
I've finally learned everything there is to know in life.
0:42 someone thought this was going to turn into a cool shot and boy were they wrong 😂
“Watch what my GoPro can do! …oh.”
What they don’t tell you is that the solvent actually doesn’t get completely removed and there is potential health hazards associated with perchloroethylene, a carcinogen that dissolves into your home’s air and is even worse for the people working there.
What they didn't show in this video was, they had to get a replacement shirt since the actual one was eaten at dinner table! 😋😋😋😋
"No lint, all buttons"
Words to live by
‘Smells delicious’ 😅
love this guy’s passion
“ smells delicious.” 😂😂
Was re-watching Seinfeld on Netflix and his rant about dry cleaning. And now here I am lol!
Cameraman like "Oh DRY cleaning. Here, take my camera and clean it dry"
Thank you, sir ! That was a great presentation - clear, short and sharp. No unnecessary verbiage ! Great job. Thank you again ❤!
UA-cam: Second wave of covid? Why not recommend this video after 7 years.
Thanks for this video, it beneficial to me
I wish to start laundry buisness in my school, I need advise on it
Just admit you shrunk it
haha! That's gold, Pauli! Gold!
I searched this video right after I watched that bit!
Nice. That one got me.
Okay... I shrunk it.
@@malooskitty9124 lol same.
I have been trying to find out how it works and after a week i have finally know how dry cleaning works. ❤
seinfeld was right
SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!!
i came from watching that
Me too
Me too
Just watched that episode
I am so fascinated with garment care I could work there all my life.
He said, "And then we remove the solvent". But How do they remove the solvent? Or do they just dry them, leaving solvent in the clothes?
They are volatile. They evaporate and are recaptured for more uses.
@@zoravar.k7904 Oh. Thank you!
It is funny how so many people don't know how dry cleaning works, but it sort of never comes up in casual banter, nor we never experience the sense of urgency to google it in years. I can't believe today is the day I looked it up!
Ausome video straight to the point
I always wondered how dry cleaning works while browsing UA-cam at 0400. I can't fall asleep now! This is very important information! 😴
“It’s a hydrocarbon. You could call it organic because it comes from the earth”
It’s ok you can say oil
Though the most common dry cleaning solvent, "perc" doesn't contain any hydrogens, just carbon and chlorine (C2Cl4)
Its 3:24 am here, and this high man (me) randomly thought of how dry cleaning works. Turned my phone on (just for this) and now I am here. Life works in mysterious ways.
