dry-cleans
Chemical garment cleaning
Dry-cleans is the third-person singular of dry-clean, meaning to clean garments using chemical solvents rather than water.
The process handles fabrics that would shrink, stretch, or otherwise be damaged by washing: She dry-cleans her silk blouses.
Most dry cleaning is done professionally, though home kits exist.
