The present invention comprises a novel dry cleaning system and method, in which specifically designed or modified machinery is used in conjunction with a specific solvent known as cyclic siloxanes.Cyclic siloxanes allow the dry cleaning processing to be very effective and result in enviromentally friendly processing which is more effective in cleaning fabrics and the like than any known prior system. The siloxane composition is employed in a dry celaning machine to carry out the method of the invention. The method comprises the setps of inserting articles to be cleaned into a machine immersing said aricles to be dry cleaned in a dry cleaning fluid including a cyclic siloxane composition ; agitating said articles in said cyclic siloxane composition ; removing said cyclic siloxane composition from said articles by centrifugal action ; removing said cyclic siloxane composition from said aricles by circulating air about said articles ; maintaining a temperature of said circulatong air between 49 to 96 fegrees Celsius during the removal of said cyclic siloxane composition from said articles ; and preventing said articles from wrinkling by cooling said articles below 38 degrees Celsius prior to removal from the machine ; wherein saidarticles being dry cleaned. |
