General information on dry cleaning
Coloring is one of the most distinctive characteristics of a fabric, the manufacturing process that
gives color to a raw fabric is called dyeing.
Changing the color of the raw fabric by dyeing significantly increases the economic value
of the fabric, so much so that this process has been the object of great attention since ancient times.
The notable advances that have affected chemistry and technology since the end of the 19th century
have revolutionized dyeing processes, both in coloring materials and in technologies
and application methodologies. This transformation was also spurred by the introduction of
new artificial and synthetic fibers that have characteristics and behaviors very different from
natural fibers.
Let's now see the most important industrial piece dyeing processes, referring to the type
of dyed fiber and to the machine used.
