It's called dry cleaners because they use special chemicals, but no water is present in those chemicals making them dry according to chemistry.

Dress shirts are laundered. Dry cleaning would be ok too, but not necessary, unless it’s silk, linen, or rayon, which all lose strength in water. Cotton is the exception, as it becomes stronger when wet, therefore it is laundered and pressed on a machine like this. LSR shirts (Linen Silk Rayon) cost more to clean because they are typically hand ironed after dry cleaning, and can’t be put on a press, which would shrink/destroy them. Women’s blouses don’t fit on a press (designed for men’s shirts only) and have to be hand ironed, therefore more labor and more cost. Former dry cleaner with 15 years of experience.

​@Simone-zb2bk I do believe that it would be equal or greater in quality, yes. Quality is generally a function of how much someone cares, not what tools they have. Tools can certainly help, don't get me wrong. But if someone doesn't care and has good tools, the product will still be inferior. And if someone cares a lot and has crappy tools, they will work until the product is satisfactory.

Wow! So neat!

Oh. That looks so crisp,, I remember a brit saying "crisps" it was a good day 😂😂

I hand wash my $200 dress shirts, hang wet to dry wrinkle free, no damage to shirts. Dry clean can destroy your shirts overtime.

Shirt presses use 160 psi. Cheap, plastic buttons aren’t made for that. Choose a dry cleaner that charges more. They offer button replacement as a courtesy. It’s a fact that all of the equipment in the industry is hard on clothes. Good dry cleaners/launderers charge more for touch-ups and button replacements that are on-the-house. Pay less get less. Pay more get more. It’s a fact of business. For example: if you live in CA and pay 5.00 for a pressed shirt and broken buttons, then that’s the worst service. If you pay 7.50 a shirt but have all buttons intact, you’re going to the right place. Inflation, inflation, inflation. I remember when you could get full-service in MN for 3.50 a shirt. Those days are long gone. Former dry cleaner with 15+ years of experience.

This video me feel better about my collection of shirts..

My mom did this for 25 years for 8 hours a day for 6 days a week for $500-600 per week. It makes me sad to think about.

Do not take your dress shirts to the dry cleaners. This kind of processing destroys the buttons within 3 washes, leaving them brittle and broken. And the material is so over heated that it shrinks significantly at each wash. Never never ruin your shirts this way.

I can relate to that double buck

Good job.

I had to do it on a press

Most, if not all, shirt pressing bucks don't blow out the shirt with steam, the shirt is inflated with air, then two plates sandwich the inflated shirt. The plates are heated with steam and they do the pressing. That's why sometimes you get wrinkles in the pocket or near the collar. This is very hard on the shirt and they won't last as long as they would if you washed them, let them air dry, and then ironed them yourself.

As in, the difficulty is the point. It’s like how we can literally make diamonds in a lab but people go “nah it’s the children suffering in mines that makes it special”, but worse - it’s me having to iron my shirt
