The Miracle of Drycleaning

Last week, I messed up my pants with mud or something like it. Actually, I just remembered how it happened. I was a game about a week ago and I was following my friend in the parking area. Well, it so happens that I ran into an exhaust pipe, which marked my pants with soot and grim. They were my good pants. As always, I find ways of messing up my pants either toothpaste spill, misplaced food, ink, and the whatever. I have a love/hate relationship with my pants. I love them when they are clean and I hate them with they dirty. Why can't someone come up with dirt-proof khakis? I love my khakis. My friends believe I have some obsession disorder with them. They think those pants have taken over my very life. It’s not like I wear them every single day. I only wear them every other day.

Anyway, I made a trip to the local drying cleaning shop on Thursday of last week, in hopes they could undo my little mistake on my pants. Today, I picked my pants up along with one of my suits, and they looked almost brand new. Now before you people in the reading this blog start wondering what my point is, well here it is: Dry Cleaning is a fantastic way of cleaning fine clothing. Since I'm such a knowledge buff, I decided to find out exactly what dry cleaning is. Well, for one thing dry cleaning is called “dry” cleaning because instead of using "wet" solvents such as water, they use a "dry" solvent such as perchlorethylene, which is also called perc. The whole process of dry cleaning is interesting and it’s big business. What would we do without Dry Cleaning? It's just another convenience we take for granted. Remember the days when people would go the nearest lake or creek and beat their cloths with a stick or they would use a cleaning board. Well, I don't because I grew up in the modern age. However, those old ways of technology seemed so primitive, but it was effective and latest technology back then. How the times have changed...
