What makes an article of clothing require dry cleaning?

We hear the word "dry-clean" and even use it everyday. The simple fact is that, there is a huge misconception in what dry-cleaning and laundry is in this part of the globe. Not all clothes are meant to be laundered and all clothes are not meant to be dry-cleaned. That is why each cloth comes with a care label to aid the cleaner on how to cater for the cloth. 
Check below to find out what makes a cloth dry-cleanable so you can spot the difference yourself...



  1. Fiber type clothing (wool, silk, rayon or specific types of these fibers)
  2. Finishes (optical brighteners, certain water soluble dyes)
  3. Construction (Built garments likes suite jackets, gowns with multiple fiber and fabric types)
  4. Embellishments (special buttons, buckles, sequins, lace etc.)
