We check for tears, wearing, loose or missing buttons and mark for existing stains for pre-spotting.
Each garment is tagged for identification, logged in and designated for whatever you want done and
whatever the wear label indicates is best.
There are hundreds of different fabrics in the world today. Each has its own chemical makeup, and what is used to remove spots on each fabric is critical. We use a variety of products, depending upon the stain and the fabric involved.
Dry CleaningOnce the garments are ready for dry cleaning, they are sorted by color and fabric content, and cleaned. Our cleaning solvent is NOT perchloroehylene. Perc, as it is commonly known, is classified as a hazardous air pollutant and is considered a probably or likely human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and is not used by A-Town / Hi-Tech Cleaners.
FinishingRemember, our job is not to just clean your clothes - our real job is to make you look and feel good. Seams and collars are perfectly pressed and all required creases are done properly. Wrinkles are eliminated.
Dry-cleaning is the use of solvents to remove soil and stains from fabric. It is called "dry-cleaning" because the solvents contain little or no water and do not penetrate the fibers as water does. Dry-cleaning solvent is not harmful to any fabric, and dry-cleaning is the only safe method for cleaning many types of garments.
Natural fibers such as wools and silks will shrink and perhaps lose their color when washed in water, but will dry-clean beautifully. Cottons and linens, unless they are preshrunk in manufacture, will also shrink in home laundering. Dry-cleaning is particularly effective in removing greasy, oily stains from synthetic fibers, which have an affinity for oils. Dry-cleaning can extend the life of your wardrobe, and your knowledge about dry-cleaning can bring you more value for your clothing dollar.
We provide more than just simple cleaning. Our services also includes professional removal of problem stains that will not come out with simple dry-cleaning. We also provide professional pressing, careful packaging, and inspections at every step along the way to make sure that all stains have been attended to and the item has been properly pressed and finished.
How can you clean my clothes if you don't get them wet?To most of those outside the industry, dry-cleaning is a dark and mysterious process. How do we get your clothes clean without getting them wet? It's simple: we fudge on the definition. Dry refers to the absence of water, and nothing more. Dry cleaning simply means cleaning clothes in a solvent other than water.
The dry-cleaning process was invented in the eighteenth century, when a Frenchman discovered that he could remove soils from the elaborate garments of the day by dipping them in "spirits". Since then, a variety of solvents have been used to dry-clean.
How does A-Town/Hi-Tech do such a great job?
We have a proven system in place, and a friendly, well-trained staff to implement it.
When your garments arrive at our facility they are immediately inspected and the best method of cleaning is determined. All stains receive immediate attention.
After cleaning, the garments are inspected again for spots and stains that didn't come out in the dry-cleaning process, and cleaned again if necessary. The garments are then sent to the finishing staff. Here they are pressed, and the garments receive a final inspection and packaging.
As a professional drycleaner, A-Town / Hi-Tech understands that exceptional garments require exceptional care. We have the fabricare knowledge to protect your investment. We take our responsibility to our clients very seriously. As always, our motto at A-Town / Hi-Tech is, "Service Is Our Only Business."
