First of all, hand washing, as the name suggests, is the most common way we wash clothes, using water and washing powder or laundry detergent to clean clothes.

From an environmental perspective, using laundry detergent is better for the environment than washing powder.

Secondly, dry cleaning is a washing method that uses organic chemical solvents to wash clothes, including removing oil stains or stains, in which water does not directly contact the clothes during the washing process.

The wash labels of some clothes will indicate the washing method, such as dry cleaning or washing.

In fact, the reason for choosing dry cleaning is to avoid damage to clothing fabrics caused by washing, such as shrinkage, deformation, fading, etc.

Dry cleaning can protect the pattern, especially for high-end clothing.

But from the perspective of environmentalists, the chemical washing method of dry cleaning causes irreversible damage to the environment.

So now many environmentalists and fashionistas are resisting the use of dry cleaning.

In fact, for clothes that need to be dry cleaned, the prices are relatively high and the styles are better. Most of them are suits, winter coats or down jackets.

For ordinary people, these clothes are not worn too many times, maybe once or twice every season. If they are all sent for dry cleaning, we may not be able to see the impact on the environment. Yes, but it definitely exists.

So many people pay great attention when wearing this kind of clothing. When cleaning at the end of the season, they usually use some local cleaning agents, and then put the clothes in a ventilated place to blow them.

This also ensures that the clothes are clean and odor-free, and it also minimizes the number of dry cleanings and makes a small contribution to environmental protection.
