1. Laundry workers should carefully inspect the clothes to see if they are suitable for dry cleaning, check for fading, damage, staining, special decorations, special stains, and leftover items. They should promptly verify the receipt with the sales clerk to see if these are recorded. If not recorded, the sales clerk needs to communicate with the customer and get their signature approval (the sales clerk should handle such issues tactfully and not hastily, following proper work procedures).
2. Dry cleaning should be sorted by color, with the order being light colors first, then dark colors, processed separately.
3. According to the degree of dirtiness and thickness of the clothes, select the washing level and washing time (for dirty and thicker clothes, choose low liquid level pre-wash; for less dirty and thin fabrics, choose high liquid level).
4. Laundry workers should check if there are any contaminating or hazardous substances inside the clothes, such as lipstick, pens, ballpoint pens, dyed items, flammable items (like lighters), sharp or hard objects (like blades), etc. These items can contaminate other clothes in the same batch during dry cleaning and pose safety hazards.
5. Clothes with stains (should check the receipt record before dry cleaning) should be pre-treated. According to the type of stain, use the corresponding stain remover and tools for pre-treatment.
6. Dry cleaning of light-colored clothes should use distilled and purified dry cleaning solvent with added spotting oil, while ensuring the cleanliness of the dry cleaning machine's pipelines.
7. When closing the machine door, be meticulous and careful, and avoid trapping clothes in the door.
8. The rated load capacity of the dry cleaning machine should generally be no less than 70% and no more than 90%. Overloading or underloading is not conducive to the cleanliness of the clothes.
9. Special situation handling methods.
1. Remove buttons on clothes that are not suitable for dry cleaning or are prone to falling off (buttons made of polyethylene-propylene dissolve in tetrachloroethylene; these buttons have no bright gloss on the surface and are prone to forming marks. If unsure, test with a drop of tetrachloroethylene on the back of the button). Metal buttons and decorations should be removed (before removal, check the receipt record for any issues with buttons or decorations), and properly stored (button sewing workers are responsible for sewing buttons; dry cleaning workers string the buttons together, label them with numbers, and hand them over with the cleaned clothes to the button sewing workers, who then sew the buttons and pass them to the ironing workers).
2. Clothes with rubber, imitation leather, chlorofiber (PVC), and other items or decorations are not suitable for dry cleaning (if unclear, use dry cleaning solvent to rub on an inconspicuous area on the back of the clothes).
3. For some rare fabrics, before dry cleaning, test the fabric scraps with dry cleaning solvent.
4. For fabrics prone to fuzzing, delicate clothes, etc., they should not be processed in the same batch with other clothes and should be placed in special mesh bags or washed separately.
5. Clothes with paint decorations, paint, or printed patterns will be severely damaged by tetrachloroethylene dry cleaning and are not suitable for dry cleaning.
6. Some velvet fabrics cannot withstand tetrachloroethylene solvent and mechanical action, which may cause partial wear. Before dry cleaning, a rubbing test should be performed; if there is a problem, do not dry clean.
7. Older dark-colored clothes may be somewhat faded in places, but due to dirt coverage, it is difficult to identify during careless inspection before washing. Before dry cleaning, a careful, patient, and detailed inspection is required.
8. Fabrics prone to lint transfer should not be washed in the same drum with other clothes. (Lint transfer: lint from clothes that shed easily sticks to other clothes.)
9. Delicate clothes such as ties, silk clothes, and gauze fabrics are best washed in laundry mesh bags.
10. Clothes processed with printing instead of dyeing technology cannot be dry cleaned.
