How Dry Cleaning Keeps Viruses Away? - Ajay

  • Since the outbreak of COVID-19 earlier this year,
    both scientists and the public have been
    scrambling to figure out exactly how the virus
    works.

How does it spread, and what can we personally do
to stop that spread?
Because of the novelty of this virus, there are
many things scientists are still trying to figure
out. We do know a few things about coronavirus
contagion, however. The virus needs some water
present to survive, and is largely spread in
droplets created by our breath. It can live on
various surfaces, but the material of the surface
determines how long the virus can survive. As
far as current research shows, the virus can
survive in the air for three hours, on copper
surfaces such as coins for up to four hours, on
fibrous materials like cardboard for 24 hours,
and on plastic and steel for up to two to three
days.

Methods known to kill coronavirus are
  • There are several ways to ensure that an item is
    clean and free of the virus.
  • Heat above 140 Fahrenheit
  • Soap and physical removal
  • Disinfectants
  • When you take your clothing to be dry cleaned, it
    is guaranteed that the process will completely
    eliminate any traces of the virus. Temperatures
    used when dry cleaning are much higher than the
    140 threshold needed to eliminate the virus.
    These temperatures are used at multiple stages of
    the dry cleaning process when the clothes are
    cleaned, dried and steam-pressed. In addition,
    soap and physical removal, such as when you wash
    your hands, kills the virus. When dry cleaning,
    strong detergents and mechanical action perform
    the same job of physical removal as hand washing.
  • For delicate materials that require low
    temperature cleaning, additional disinfectants
    such as hydrogen peroxide are used, which work in
    addition to the physical removal process to kill
    any remaining viral traces.
  • Although many areas are loosening quarantine
    restrictions, we are far from safe from the
    spread of COVID yet. Thats why its more
    important than ever to remain vigilant about your
    personal hygiene and cleaning. Regular dry
    cleaning can be an important step in maintaining
    the hygiene of your clothing.
