Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book teaches readers about the technique of garment cleaning that employs solvents instead of water, a process conceived by a Frenchman named Judlin in 1866. The process implements various solvents like benzine, benzol, turpentine, or carbon tetrachloride to dissolve fats, improving upon traditional soap-based cleaning methods that can alter the fabric's appearance. The book also emphasizes the importance of safety when working with these solvents, which are highly flammable. However, the author notes the benefits of this method, highlighting that it doesn't alter the shape or fashion of garments, works quickly, and can potentially be used on all types of clothing.
