Dry cleaning is a method of cleaning clothing and textiles without the use of water, helping garments maintain their shape and integrity. We use environmentally friendly solvents and advanced techniques to remove stains and odors safely. Our process also incorporates newer technologies like wet cleaning and emphasizes recycling to minimize our environmental impact.

When in doubt, always check the care label — if it says “Dry Clean Only,” it should be professionally cleaned. Garments made from natural animal fibers like wool, leather, or fur should never be cleaned at home.

Delicate synthetic fabrics such as acetate, rayon, and certain types of polyester also benefit from professional care to preserve their quality and longevity. If you’re concerned about shrinkage or loss of shape with home cleaning, our specialists will ensure your items receive the proper treatment they need.

We don’t recommend dry cleaning at home. Professional dry cleaning requires specialized equipment and solvents that aren’t readily available to consumers. Home alternatives are often less effective and can even damage your garments. That’s why it’s best to trust the professionals at Arrow Fabricare!

Dry cleaning can remove many types of stains, but not all stains can be completely eliminated. The best results often depend on the type of stain and how it’s treated. To improve the chances of successful cleaning, let your dry cleaner know what caused the stain so the appropriate treatment can be used right from the start.

Turnaround times depend on the item(s) you send in. Below is a table with our general cleaning times by department. Please note that items requiring special attention may take longer. You can always check the status of your order and ask questions anytime through your Personal Portal.

*Items dropped off at our Front Counter have a standard 7-day turnaround. Items collected through our Valet Pick-Up & Delivery service will be returned on the third day.

The frequency of dry cleaning depends on how often you wear the clothes and how soiled they become. As a general rule, it’s best to dry clean garments only when necessary to help preserve the fabric and extend their lifespan.

Men’s laundered shirts are pressed using a specialized Shirt Unit rather than being hand-pressed. These state-of-the-art machines allow us to process men’s shirts — which are typically larger and less fitted than women’s shirts — much more efficiently, resulting in lower costs. Dry cleaning prices are usually based on the amount of labor involved, so any item that requires hand pressing will naturally cost more.
