Garment dullness and graying have long been a challenge for laundry practitioners. This not only affects customer satisfaction but also directly impacts the store\u2019s professional reputation. This article will explain the root causes of this challenge and provide two professional solutions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reasons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike water cleaning, dry cleaning uses chemical solvents (perchloroethylene) as a medium. During the <a href=\"https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/ru\/solution\/\"><strong><u><b>washing<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0process, there are two unavoidable problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Secondary pollution in solvents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During the dry cleaning process, dissolved soluble soils cannot be thoroughly removed by filters. These soils adhere to garment fibers again as the solvent circulates through the system, becoming even gray films. White garments are sensitive to these soils.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Static attraction the drying stage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The washing and drying stage of dry cleaning is completed in the same machine. While drying, garment friction makes strong static. Dust falling off garments, lint, and other airborne particles are attracted back onto the garment surface. Therefore, white garments may lose their brightness and feel rough to the touch.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, water cleaning removes soils and detergent residues during the washing, rinsing, and extraction. It has a better cleaning performance for white garments. Therefore, professional <a href=\"https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/ru\/small-capacity\/professional-washer-15-20-25-kg-2\/\"><strong><u><b>wet cleaning<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0should be considered whenever possible when processing white garments. If dry cleaning is unavoidable, it is necessary to minimize the impacts through detailed process management.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11129\" src=\"https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/kingstarlaundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/white-garments-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Five Practical Measures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For \u201cdry cleaning only\u201d\u00a0white precious garments, the following systematic solutions can be considered.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pre-treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before washing, localized heavy stains\u00a0(soil, oil, and perspiration stains) must be thoroughly removed. All the pockets should be carefully inspected. Adding specialty builders and anti-static agents to dry-cleaning detergents is acceptable. These products improve cleaning performance\u00a0and reduce static during drying.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solvent cleanliness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is important for cleaning. Ideally, using distilled solvents is preferable. At the same time, equipment maintenance cannot be ignored. Laundry shops should regularly clean working tanks, button traps, as well as filter and distill solvents. When cleaning white garments, the solvent circulation system should run through the filtration cycle to maximize the filter\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Color-separated washing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>White and light-colored garments should be processed separately. They should never be processed with dark-colored or color-fading garments. This step can fundamentally avoid dye transfer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash cycle optimization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; If not using a regenerated filter, use a pump circulation (filter-free). This can avoid residual color pollution inside filters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After washing, properly extending drain time\u00a0allows contaminated solvents to drain from the garments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Gradual extraction: In the early stage, use low spin speed or \u201cintermittent extraction\u201d\u00a0(high-speed extraction). It can avoid residual liquid splashing caused by the drum spinning in a high speed. This also helps prevent redeposition rings\u00a0from forming on the fabric.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Air system cleanliness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regularly clean air ducts, lint collectors, and condensers. This ensures the cleanliness of airflow and reduces floating pollutants.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Professional Wet Cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With the development of fabric technology and detergents, many fabrics (such as wool, silk, and high-end blends) traditionally labeled as \u201cdry clean only\u201d\u00a0can now be processed through professional wet cleaning. It has become a more premium and eco-friendly choice. It avoids problems caused by dry cleaning solvents. But professional equipment and technology are essential.<\/p>\n<p>The success of wet cleaning depends on three points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Controllable gentle mechanical actions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Washing equipment must provide very gentle lifting and tumbling actions. For example, a professional wet cleaning machine operates at speeds as low as 15 rpm. It can smartly adjust the rotation-to-rest ratio. This ensures damage-free cleaning for delicate fabrics (mulberry silk and cashmere).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flexible stage settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Water level, temperature, wash time, and spin speed can be set for prewash, main wash, rinsing, and extraction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Professional finishing process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Professional drying (low-temperature drying) and finishing are vital to restore garment shape and texture.<\/p>\n<p>Professional wet cleaning brings better cleanliness, loft, and softness for white garments. It also fits with the increasingly strict global sustainability trend. For laundry service, professional wet-cleaning equipment can be a valuable investment. Kingstar SHS-2025P\u00a0smart wet cleaning machine offers a safer and more eco-friendly advanced washing solution. This significantly improves the service competitiveness of laundry shops.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Q&amp;A<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Q1: How should I select\u00a0between dry cleaning and professional wet cleaning for a white garment?<\/p>\n<p>A1: Read the care label and then follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. If the care label allows wet cleaning or water washing, prioritize wet cleaning. It can achieve better results. If stating \u201conly dry cleaning\u201d, you should communicate with the customer and tell them the risks of dry cleaning. After that, use the above strict dry cleaning process. For valuable garments with unknown fabrics, an inconspicuous-area test should be considered first.<\/p>\n<p>Q2: What is the most important step to do dry cleaning for white clothes?<\/p>\n<p>A2: Use clean solvent and separate clothes based on colors. Before each wash, flush the solvent circuit to avoid color transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Q3: If equipment is limited, how can laundry stores improve cleaning results?<\/p>\n<p>A3: Sort garments properly before washing. It is necessary to separate white and light-colored garments from dark garments. Pay attention to using premium laundry powder or oxygen bleach\u00a0(for white cotton and linen fabrics) and ensure adequate rinsing. This is a key to removing residual detergents and avoiding garments from yellowing or graying. For fabrics that don\u2019t require high-temperature washing, low-temperature or cold-water programs help protect fiber brightness.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the field of professional laundry\u00a0service, the washing results of white and light-colored garments are the key to service quality.
