dry cleaning fluid
Fabric stain remover
Dry cleaning fluid is a chemical solvent used to clean fabrics without water.
Traditional dry cleaning fluids like perchloroethylene dissolve oils and grease that water-based washing can't remove, making them essential for delicate garments labeled "dry clean only." The term appears in care instructions and stain removal guides: Dab the spot with dry cleaning fluid before washing.
