      Wear the clothes you got back from the dry cleaners right away

      Many clothes cannot be washed by hand or machine and can only be dry cleaned. It is wrong to think that dry-cleaned clothes can be worn immediately.

      Dry cleaners usually wrap the dry-cleaned clothes in plastic bags. This prevents the small amounts of formaldehyde and tetrachlorethylene adsorbed by the clothing fibers during the dry cleaning process from completely evaporating and remaining on the clothes. Formaldehyde is harmful to the respiratory system and can cause allergic reactions in severe cases ; Perchlorethylene is harmful to the human brain and can cause dizziness in severe cases.
