Explains everything about the wetcleaning (as opposed to the drycleaning) process: the process itself, equipment, proper water, soaps/detergents, bleaches, sizings/starches/water repellents, and more with special sections for men's suits, dresses, white garments, raincoats, household textiles, garments that require special handling, and information about soaking out stains. While this is aimed specifically at the retail cleaning industry, much of this information is valuable for anyone working with old or delicate textiles or anyone doing his/her own laundry that needs special attention.
