Description
Dry cleaning involves the removal of dirt and stains from a substrate without the use of aqueous solutions. Papers and textiles that contain water-sensitive dyes and paints may need to be dry cleaned. Some examples of dry cleaning materials are:
1) Stoddard solvent - a flammable petroleum distillate
2) Chlorinated hydrocarbons- such as Tetrachloroethylene
3) Vaclene [DuPont] - a fluorinated chlorinated hydrocarbon
4) Fuller's earth - a powdered Clay which absorbs oils and grease
5) Sodium bicarbonate, Magnesium carbonate
6) Draft clean [GH Smith] - powdered Rubber and other types of erasers
7) Design Artgum eraser - a vulcanized vegetable oil eraser absorbs dirt.
