Dryclean USA
While in 1690, the first published reference to the use of turpentine for removing tar and varnish from fabrics, it wasn’t until 1716 that turpentine began to be used regularly as a drycleaner for grease and oil stains to supplement wet cleaning processes. In the early 1900s, drycleaners began using spirits of turpentine, called camphene, as a drycleaning solvent. Today, the drycleaner’s goal is to safely clean the fabric and preserve the color of the garment. A second aim is to restore the garment to a nearly new condition.
Dry cleaning is a multi-billion dollar industry that has time and again proved to be recession proof. Clothing will always be in need of cleaning. Furthermore, dry cleaning is a cash and carry business which does not require investing funds in extensive inventory.
According to U.S. News and World Report, dry cleaning is one of ten fields that do not sound glamorous, but often make their owners millionaires. Every day millions of consumers take their clothing to a dry cleaner. Thousands of new types of garments are labeled, dry clean only, which has created an industry, estimated to generate 6 to 7 billion US dollars a year.
