The Dry Clean and Laundry Works are performed by
the Ahmedabad Dryers and Cleaner.
In dry cleaning a petroleum solvent is
used instead of water.
Today the industry uses a solvent called
perchloroethylene almost universally.
The clothes are washed in this solvent,
and then the solvent is recovered in an extractor
so it can be reused.
Once the clothes are cleaned,
they are pressed so they look like new.
The laundry works so efficiently that after
dry clean the clothes appear like brand new.
