Just what is DRY cleaning anyway?

5/26/2011

When clothing and other garments cannot be cleaned with water, they are cleaned with a dry cleaning solvent. Many articles of clothing are said to be dry-cleanable only. This means if they are cleaned with water they may be damaged. Therefore, these items are cleaned with an organic solvent other than water. Of course, the solvent ISN'T DRY! It just isn't water...thus it is considered dry.

Puma Sportswear displays a touch of corporate good humor.

5/16/2011

Usually manufacturing corporations take themselves pretty seriously and a good sense of humor is often absent. However Puma Sportswear recently exhibited a nifty bit of creativity and mirth in a "care tag" sewn in to a sweatshirt/hoodie. On the back of the tag (see above), this garment care advice was offered to owners..."Wash This When Dirty". Good advice and no doubt makes those who wear Puma giggle a little and will probably encourage them to be recurring buyers. Arrow Fabricare Services concurs that this care label offers logical professional care advice.
