What does it mean if my clothes smell of cleaning solvent?
If your clothes return from the dry cleaner and smell of solvent, it's time to change cleaners. This smell indicates impure solvent and bacteria growth in the system, not an excessively strong solution as commonly thought. The bacteria cling to the garments and solvent molecules and release the solvent slowly, producing the smell.
We use fresh solvent on every load to care for your clothes. A well maintained dry cleaning system should produce odor-free clothes with every cleaning.
