Health benefits of dry cleaning

Dry cleaning your clothes offers numerous health benefits that your normal washing machine cannot. Not only will our dry cleaning offer a better, more thorough clean, but we’ll use environmentally friendly products to keep your clothes in pristine condition.
​
Now, more than ever, people are wanting a guarantee that the clothing they’re wearing is clean and safe. Read below what the health benefits of dry cleaning are and how we’re keeping COVID-19 at bay.  

Sustainable dry cleaning as a health benefit

​Since dry cleaning began in 1821, there have been various technological advances which have enabled safer and healthier dry cleaning processes. Recently, sustainable dry cleaning has become the way of the future.

Sustainable dry cleaning is about limiting the use of harsh chemicals to clean clothes or garments. Before sustainable dry cleaning, dry cleaners often used the chemical perchloroethylene (perc).Perc has been revealed to cause long term health issues like cancer and fertility problems.   

Instead of using perc, we offer sustainable alternatives for dry cleaning, which are safer for you and less abrasive on your garments. Our sustainable dry clean services include using hydrocarbon and wet cleaning.

Why are hydrocarbon and wet dry cleaning methods better?

Hydrocarbon is a less invasive chemical than perc and hasn’t been linked to long term health problems.
Wet dry cleaning certainly sounds like a contradiction – we know!
But trust us, wet dry cleaning is a safer option with health benefits for you and the environment.

The wet dry cleaning process is safer and healthier than any other form of dry cleaning. Wet cleaning uses water combined with dry cleaning-based chemicals that won’t harm or damage material or skin.

Wet dry cleaning is:

• Eco-friendly: It won’t create run-off of chemicals into the environment
• Gentle: It won’t damage your clothing or garments, helping them to last longer!
• Free from toxic chemicals: This means you’ll be free from harmful substances
• Leaves no odour: Wet cleaning leaves no odour or chemicals behind, protecting your health and your senses!

COVID-19 is changing the way we look at cleaning. At Pride Dry Cleaning, we have a range of procedures to ensure we’re abiding by COVID-19 guidelines. Some of these include:

• RedBox contactless drop-off: Our Redbox drop-off system allows you to leave your clothing and garments in a bag without coming into contact with anyone! Learn more about our RedBox system here.
• Contactless delivery: We offer free, contactless delivery to all our customers
• Perspex shields: We have Perspex shields in place in store when you drop your garments off in person to protect our staff and customers.
• Cleaning to Australian Dry Cleaning Standards: We abide by Australian Dry Cleaning Standards when cleaning all bedding and clothing. This means 98 per cent of bacteria is removed with no harsh chemicals.

Our main priority is the health and safety of our team and customers. Alongside these procedures, we’re following social distancing and general hygiene guidelines.
